The entire Florida Peninsula and points north are poised to experience Hurricane Irma after the storm hugged Cuba's northern coastline. Thousands of Floridians who evacuated the Atlantic cost to Gulf Coast areas found their safe shelter under direct threat from Hurricane Irma as the forecast shifted W Friday night and Saturday. Hurricane Irma's prolonged interaction with Cuba diminished its strength to Category 3.
Irma is forecast to increase in strength as it crosses the FL Straits. The Florida Keys experienced strong outer bands while Irma grazed the N Cuba coastline.

Kind of following up on the other post asking about panhandle landfall.. At what longitude would you consider the point of no return that sends it fully into the Gulf towards the panhandle vs a sharp turn to Tampa?
I mean, personally, I think we reached that event horizon about an hour ago, but curious as to what your viewpoint is.
I read somewhere it can’t go too much farther west due to some “wall”..idk.
I’m not a pro.
Right Side Broadcasting is doing live feed of Florida:

“In the last hour it’s stayed at 23.4N while moving from 80.5W to 80.8W.
It’s well west of the point where everyone said it would turn north.”
Does make one wonder about the possibilities.
“...prayer for Eric Bolling...”
I prayed for them at the 4:00 mass; terrible tragedy.
If I were in Panama City, I’d be gassing the car and packing a few things...
They did seem to get Harvey pretty good with respect to stalling out and raining. Just saying.
Here’s the official one, but you might have to try a few times because it’s busy

Heck, it even just took a small South jab at Veradaro(sp?).
It’s stalled, gotta go somewhere but until it makes up it’s mind no one knows where.
Irma has been going in the same 295 degree direction since 5pm. Next update at 8pm.
This is the new link [it just changed recently] to the live cam at the southernmost point of Key West [there are still people out there from time to time]:

I just posted this to another poster but I read on some site where the “experts” are saying it can’t go too much further west because of some “wall”
Do you have any idea what they mean by a wall?
Border wall? hahaa
Ask the GOPe
Explain that please
Notice that in diagram #3 in the posted article (last updated 5pm), one track still has Irma missing Florida and heading toward Texas.
The other 19 tracks all turn toward Florida.
LOL that’s hysterical!
