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.

Looks like it’s shifting West..
Oh it went back up? Janine Dean did say that since the waters are SO warm in that area(Around 90 degrees) she expects it to gain strength, she said there is no reason why it wouldn’t hurricanes love warmth
I thought I couldn’t either, and even tried to get to Bradenton a different way, but it would have taken me twice as long. So I said my prayers and looked at the lanes around me, instead of looking out to the water. It was not anywhere close to as bad as I thought it would be! All my fears were unrealized.
That could have been the eye wall replacement. We shall see.
The eye wall breaking up and reforming can give the illusion of a track change.
It wobbles.
No, NOT correct.
Rush lives in Palm Beach, which is an entirely different world from West Palm.
Sorta like the difference between black and white, if you get my drift.
That also looks like the dead cat cuba bounce again. Seen it twice now. We shall see.
Beat me by (holding thumb and forefinger close together) that much...
WFLA said Skyway Bridge has re-opened. They sounded shocked.
I know the media is the left. I shouldn’t have written my post the way I did. They are loathsome.
Trump and Pence are great! So happy that Hillary/Kaine didn’t win!
Will most likely get bigger in time!
what is a ridge? and what does it mean that Irma is moving it backward??
Local WFLA Tampa Bay Wx guru Steve Jerve—storm is still moving W. Most evident on Key West radar. Satellite is deceptive just now.

Every time Clinton or Creepy Clown Kaine open their mouths they prove how we ALL dodged a huge bullet by them losing..Clinton freaks out because mean Donald stood a few feed behind her, and she expects us to think she could handle North Korea or Iran LOL she can’t even handle someone standing a few feet behind her sorry a@@
I’d probably freeze with fear if I started on it-——and have to go through the humiliation of being rescued.
If someone else was driving I’d keep my eyes closed the entire time.
I never to up to the viewing area of skyscrapers.
Flying doesn’t bother me at all.

Ok ok, I finally just looked it up.

Heck.Took a short break and still in catchup mode. Almost current. Very active here now.
Have you checked out Wunderground’s Wundermap? It’s more current and has tons of overlays. It’s latest loops shows Irma moving to the NW. Directly at Key West.
