Hurricane Irma
- Thread starter Fijimn
- Start date
We have been trying to decide whether to evacuate my mom from Tally. This is possibly good news for us, not so much for others.
Stetson is having a meeting this am. DeLand is out of gas. Thank goodness my granddaughter filled up.

Here's something I learned today: hurricane conspiracy theories are an actual thing. From someone on the facebook:
I didn't click to watch the video, and I'm certainly not going to visit the website, so I won't know about all the hurricane things that the news isn't telling me. I'll have to wait and see how it turns out...
Shows it moving NW then W under Fla then skirting the coast and going in at GA/SC border...
Bucs at Dolphins has been cancelled and moved to November 19th. I guess they both now have their bye week on week 1? That sucks.
Yeah I've been in MS for 2 years now. But we still have a house in Savannah we are trying to fix up and sell.
Hard to say with that map, it's hard to pin down. In that vacinity though, yes...
It's just that I think I was ridiculed when I suggested Savannah as a likely landing spot earlier in the thread.
The newest spaghettis for Euro and GFS look better for the state... more like a Matthew path. Can't post form my phone but here's the link:

A good thing for me as a huge cfb fan in general is our game being moved to noon...There are a slew of great matchups Saturday evening.
...And before anyone attending the game gets onto me for being selfish, the weather is going to be more than tolerable (high of 85 with a nice breeze).

Depends on which coast you're on. An (unlikely) huge shift eastward would benefit everyone except Bermuda possibly.
Yes and the shifting eastward has been the current trend overnight into todays 11am forecast. Keep shifting east! Doesnt look good for GA/SC though.
Cool website where you can click different timelines and zoom, showing wind predictions. Beased on this, east coast of Fl looks to be spared.

Yup, but i got home field advantage on this sumbitch. Keeping a strong eye on it though.
At least the surf will be epic Monday through Tuesday or Wednesday...
Offshores will be killing it all Mon. Tues/Wed will probably be the days. Sucks on multiple fronts cause I have to leave for San Fran early Tues for 6am flight. Might be leaving my place without power for 3 days.
GFS 6 Sept 12z has it making landfall in Miami as a 895mb storm, and staying as at least a Cat 4 all the way up the coast where it would slam into Savannah as a 924mb storm. Not sure how anyone thinks the east coast of Florida would be a safe place after these last few runs. This run would be catastrophic. edit: This is ~50 mile shift west from their last model, so they haven't all been creeping eastward
Yeah, that lates GFS model looks horrible. The euro comes out at 2. That front coming down needs to get here right quick.GFS 6 Sept 12z has it making landfall in Miami as a 895mb storm, and staying as at least a Cat 4 all the way up the coast where it would slam into Savannah as a 924mb storm.

Looks like it could head inland to Charlotte If that projection is right.GFS 6 Sept 12z has it making landfall in Miami as a 895mb storm, and staying as at least a Cat 4 all the way up the coast where it would slam into Savannah as a 924mb storm.

Here's a cool live webcam out of St. Thomas. Surprised it is still up and running. Probably for not much longer as it appears the eyewall is approaching.

The Ventusky model shows that smaller storm behind it loop around and head back for the strights...
I'm in NSB too, nice knowing you.So just over General area of New Smyrna Beach 8 AM Monday?
Sub 900 mbs when hitting Sofla.
My thoughts exactly. That's ridiculously low pressure. I'm hoping this eastern shift keeps up with that front coming in and sparing even the east coast of FLA... sorry SC and GA

Always makes me wonder about the St Lucie power plant sitting on a barrier island...
the images snapped as you scroll down the page give you a good idea of the pounding that has happened
I am traveling back to Tampa from doing site visits in Rockport and it was a disaster. Not one building was spared. This storm is much worse and I hope that it keeps moving east. Wont really know until tomorrow as to where its going to end up.
