I've never seen two eyes ... I wonder if it's possible .... the storm is vast and it seemed to break up over Hispanola
It's going to be a long night in the Bahamas
a few breezes here but otherwise calm

Up this way I think we dodged any flooding problems earlier at high tide—5:06am.Don’t really understand it we have sustained at 31 with gusts to 36 out fo the ENE with a falling baro of 29.68 at Mollasses Reef off Key Largo about 15 miles north of here.Feels a bit stronger than that here.Winds are now beginning to crank up a little bit.
I just took a walk down to the dock and its still a foot from over flowing which surprises me as close to high tide as we are.
The real test will be tonight at 6:01pm on the next high tide,but looking at what I see now I don’t really expect much.

A decision will be made this morning based on surge predictions if Ft. Myers Beach, Captiva, Sanibel and other low laying areas will be evacuated. All toll bridges in Lee County have suspended tolls. The bridges will not be closed, the public is urged to cross with caution.
To: rodguy911; NautiNurse
still no rain to speak of .... the ground is dry ... the wind has only just begun to kick up
I'm going to take the dogs out on the white street pier and watch it roll in
Lost power about half an hour ago but it's back
still looks like two storms on the visual loop
.
To: Elle Bee
Isaac appears tattered this morning with lots of dry air.
IIRC, historically Isaac has had morning bed head, with increasing convection later in the day. As long as the core is intact, there isn't much to keep it from strengthening at this point. Should be an interesting day.

Yesterday TWC was practically cheering for a Tampa hit and a Republican National Convention cancellation.Off topic: Why do we bother with conventions? In my lifetime, they've moved from decision-making bodies with many important committee and floor votes to absurdly expensive commercials.
Go Isaac!

WFTV at 8am said the Hurricane Center is behind in updating the track and the next update will have the storm on an even more westerly track. It will be a CAT 1 as it moves north and then they show it as a CAT 2 and believe it will hit New Orleans.

I predict that the idiots in NOLA will wait for The One to shower them with gifts and attention after the storm.
