Checking in on everyone. Praying for you all with this storm ahead. Prayers for those with family and friends riding Irma out. Keep us posted on how all are doing. Hoping for safe outcome for all.
thanks ill check it,big pine is actually a huge key.
Eye becoming very dis-organized, but still coherent eyewall precip structure.
One day, one of these reporters will be killed on the air and the media will turn them into a saint.
It is stupid, reckless and pointless. Put a stationary camera out there and take cover.

I was wondering about that.
Big Pine is pretty large don’t know if it could slow it down or not,warm water on the gulf however.

My relatives stranded on St Maarten were flown out by the US military yesterday before the arrival of hurricane Jose. St. maarten/St. Martin is largely destroyed. God bless our military. Hopefully the Dutch and the French governments will assist the island’s residents in surviving and then rebuilding.
Eye center tracked 342 degrees for the last 60 minutes.
Center now looks to cross Highway 1 2.5 NM west of Cudjoe Key.
It’s still wobbling side to side a bit.
We’re going to need to but NOTHING can compare to those gentle warm Gulf waters and beautiful white sand beaches.
And the sunsets.....
Incomparable......
It is peaceful beyond comprehension.
She looks to be coming apart now, Rodguy, but that eyewall hasn’t weakened a bit.
That is true.
Never been that close to dying from snow though.
And it does not have the nasty habit of leveling your house.
The only time I get freaked out in snow and will go in is when it’s thundersnow.
You have NO idea where the lightning is or how close.
That’s enough for me.
could be mm 22 for center,

wow that would be something if it came apart.
wow that would be something if it came apart.
Need prayers for my brother and sister they are in swfl.
That sums it up quite nicely.
It still looks well formed on the satellite. Sometimes the radar cannot penetrate through to the far eye wall.
