The are already 90+mph wind gusts in Miami. This is the worst track for the Florida Peninsula as the storm is hugging the West Coast and has the size to pull in moisture from both the Gulf and the Atlantic. By going North it extends the period of hell.

Because the storm is East of me and the wind are counterclockwise they will be slowing by friction with land, rather than being at peak power coming off the Gulf when a storm is West of me.

Oh, I was annoyed because I lost a comment by not paying attention.

No need to be concerned about commenting. You have enough to deal with m8.

Irma’s looking pretty bad & massive evac’s have been ordered (as I’m sure you know!)

Here’s the latest report here:
Hurricane Irma: Six million Americans hit the road as storm bears down

“Tracking models, which initially indicated the monster winds would hit Florida’s east coast, are now suggesting Irma will scour the western side of the Florida peninsula and head up the coast, bringing storm surges up to 4.6 meters and flooding in some areas.”

Looks like it’ll do a lot of damage. I hope people will be smart & safe! So far, it seems so. If Florida does take a big hit, I hope Mar-A-Lago is shredded! A small bit of justice. *sigh*

Be safe man!!

As long as it stays to the East I don’t how close it gets. There has been a high pressure ridge to the North and the storm has been bouncing along the bottom trying to head north, The ridge hasn’t been cooperating with forecasters, which is why they have been adjusting the track.

This is one weird storm. Looks like it might be making a beeline towards you. Eep!
