I’ve got a bad feeling about what they are going to find in Key West.

My guess is that the outside cats are going to fare better than the ones they locked inside.

Called a friend who has a house on Pine Key! He, a WWII vet, and his wife are OK and in Montreal! Went on a cruise and now is stuck in Montreal waiting to fly home Tuesday. He also has a home near Lakeland.

Steve Jerve WFLA said he has friends who evacuated Key West, up to Tarpon Springs. When the storm was tracking up toward Tarpon Springs, they raced over to St. Augustine. Now they are getting a thrashing in St. Aug. Irma’s tentacles are far reaching.

Here are some #KeyWest videos from Mike Theiss. Have not heard from in over ten hours though.

One thing I know from 4 hurricanes here: They go where they want to go.

Charley in 2004 was “scheduled” to enter Gulf, proceed north about 80 miles offshore the west coast of Florida, then come in about Pensacola.

About 100 miles SW of Tampa, it increased from a Cat. 2 to a 4, made a hard right, marched up I-4, and exited at Daytona area.

At this point, no one knows.

Boy did it. Cuba took a big arse beating for mainland Florida. I remember reading or hearing experts who can read the models saying Cuba would not weaken Irma that much, but it did. Better that it left Cuba a cat 3 vs cat 4/5 because we knew it would gain some steam once it moved away from Cuba’s coastline. It left Cuba’s coast with 125 mph winds a cat 3 and ramped up to 135 mph cat 4, and hit mainland Florida as a cat 3. Could have been a lot worse for Florida.

It’s been over a decade since Florida was hit with a major hurricane with hurricane Wilma at a cat 3, but Irma is something Florida can handle. A cat 5 at 150 to 165 mph winds would have been a different story all together.

I also think the storm surges will be bad but not as bad as it would have been if Irma rode that western coastline pulling all that water out and then back in again.

Those will be coming tonight as the storm gets up into the areas north of Tampa. The water now receding from Tampa Bay will come back when the storm passes. And the coastline starting around Aripeka and points north was supposed to see the most inland surge tonight.

It still anyone’s guess.

See # 132.

Any short wave operators on this thread? Probably the best chance of getting reports from them.

Now that's a blast from the past. Not too long ago, I pulled my trusty Grundig Satellit receiver out of storage (since 1994) and it still worked like a charm. But the shortwave bands were mostly empty. The Internet pretty much killed shortwave.
