Tsunami alert should have been canceled - wrong type of earthquake, but I was asleep so couldn't say that earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 NOAA's latest forecast continues to shift west. Cuba's getting more of the storm than originally predicted, the upper east coast of Florida might not get it as bad but at the expensive of more of the west coast getting hit hard. Panhandle's inline for some hurricane damage, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 With all the projections now predicting a western shift, is it possible Louisiana/New Orleans gets hit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The longer range forecast is also aiming the leftovers of the storm directly towards the midwest. Last time we got one of these about a decade ago, we got something like 8 inches of rain over a couple of days IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's still projected to go right up the middle of Florida, we're talking shifts of 20-50 miles or so of the path of the eye. From everything I've read, the models this far out are pretty accurate, so there would have to be a massive failure in the multiple models in all the same way for it to shift that much. It's pretty much a lock, just wait for results from Broward county to come in and......oh my god. [sorry for the bad election joke] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 all models now converging on landfall in FL. hurricane force wind gusts across the peninsula. https://twitter.com/growingwisdom/status/906246072065982465 Miami might avoid a direct eyewall hit but it's in the worst possible spot for storm surges.

Balta1701 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The Atlantic Ocean has generated more "Accumulated Cyclone Energy" (Measure of the energy being expended by storms) today than on any day in recorded history. Irma appears to be developing a larger eyewall and completing an eyewall replacement cycle. Most recent hurricane hunters pass indicated decreasing central pressures. Storm may be about to strengthen one last time before landfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaming the hurricanes on climate change and saying Irma isn't a big deal are two very different things. Especially when Irma will level the entire state of Florida.
