I really wonder if all this is necessary or if it’s out of fears of what happened with Harvey..even though Irma isn’t standing still for long...and a different storm.

Repeat of Fran? Nah, I would be quite happy if it just weakens and steers off to the east. There is always a certain level of “excitement” as the storm approaches but the reality of the aftermath will shake any excitement right out of you.

Definite urgency in Governor Scott's voice and message.
Stressing that Irma is bigger and stronger than Hurricane Andrew. There is no reason not to evacuate if ordered to do so.

Actually according to their government statement two of the Islands hit, before the Virgin Islands ,had “minimum damage” and no deaths.

FL is such a big state, with so much coastline, its pretty hard to figure our where exactly to deploy assets and have them waiting. I don't envy the planners.

Floridians are accustomed to prepare for Hurricanes and other tropical storms. But with the influx of so many foreigners , many who are unfamiliar with Hurricans, will be those who suffer the most if this hits land.

We may be seeing what is sometimes referred to as “the windshield wiper effect” with these models. No explanation necessary, I think...
NHC’s caveat’s about the uncertainty of even their “cones” are wise to be heeded.
Also, anyone thinking they will be in a “lesser” portion of the storm has forgotten about the tornados often spawned well away from the eyewall, I suspect.

I am wondering what the effects of the mountain range in Puerto Rico will have on Irma.

Some afternoon models are out: To those who thought the trend is east, think again, shifted west again.
The NHC cone; everyone please stick with that (And not the black middle line, the whole cone).

I keep reading the Irma is a CAT 5 storm, but none of the posted wind speeds come close to the CAT threshold for a CAT 5, which requires sustained winds of at least 156 mph. Irma is still a major hurricane, but has it actually made landfall any place as a CAT 5?
