Hurricane Irma Live Thread Part II
NHC/NOAA ^ | NHC/NOAA | NHC/NOAA

Posted on 09/07/2017 8:09:47 AM PDT by NautiNurse

Dangerous Category 5 Hurricane Irma had a devastating impact on islands in the Caribbean.

Hurricane and Storm surge watches were issued Thursday morning for South Florida. The Florida Keys began evacuating visitors and residents, followed by flood zones in Miami and Miami Beach. Sarasota FL declared a local state of emergency Thursday morning.

Polk County FL Sheriff Grady Judd said Wednesday that law enforcement authorities would check the identities of people who turn up at shelters--and take to jail anyone found to have an active arrest warrant. “If you go to a shelter for Irma and you have a warrant, we’ll gladly escort you to the safe and secure shelter called the Polk County Jail... “If you have a warrant, turn yourself in to the jail — it’s a secure shelter.” Judd also posted that sex offenders and sex predators would not be admitted to the shelters. "We cannot and we will not have innocent children in a shelter with sexual offenders & predators. Period." Judd's statements unleashed a liberal firestorm via Twitter.

Zone A under mandatory evacuation. How close is she to that?

In Tampa as well. I’m riding it out. If you are not in a evacuation zone and in a well-built home (not a mobile/manufactured home, etc) you are fine where you are. The reasonable expectation is 80-100 mph gusts with some damage and likely power outage for 2-3 days.

Leaving at this point, with the traffic and gas situations being what they area, is not a great idea. If anything, have them go to a local shelter if they are not comfortable with their situation.

NO But the point is it made a radical turn out of the GULF side of FLA and didn’t hit NOLA or MISS etc

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, “If the geniuses can’t predict the path of a hurricane (as they have clearly demonstrated in the past week), what gives them the authority to tell us that dumping millions of dollars into Al Gore’s pockets will stop climate change.”

You do realize that those who are doing the storm forecasting are METEOROLOGISTS and NOT the ones trying to line AL Gore's pockets?

The biggest global warming proponents are NOT real meteorologists. They are leftists and liberals and politicians.

"Tell your sister to BOUNCE."

Does that mean leave?

So this is the best sit-rep map available to decide whether to bug out or not so thanks for posting.

I can deal with 90 MPH in Miami.

If it does, I doubt it will make it into anything significant.

Irma and Jose have sucked so much heat out of the Atlantic Ocean so far, that the water is MUCH cooler.

Atmospheric conditions have to be much more perfect for any hurricane to really turn into something.

If Irma gets into the Gulf, it will NOT weaken.

The water in the Gulf is way too warm for that to happen.
