"I am in upstate SC and there has been virtually NO local discussion on TV or radio by any officials, re need to get prepared." Looks like any impact to the Upstate is five to seven days out, and historically the weather events here tend to be more like a tropical storm rather than a hurricane. Flash flooding, especially in the foothills, are the big hazards. The best advice is to go ahead and prep and do not rely on the local talking heads on channels 4,7, or 21.

Not sure what anemometer devices can survive Cat 5 wind speeds and higher gusts. Do you know of any?The anemometer at the summit of Mt. Washington, New Hampshire, routinely records wind speeds in excess of 157 mph.

See how the pattern moves from 24 hours ago. Let’s hope this sucker blows out to sea.

Here is video from
CULEBRA LIVESTREAM. Although they will be close to the eye, so far the winds don't seem very high...yet.
p.s. Culebra is one of two islands in what is known as the Spanish Virgin Islands which belong to Puerto Rico. The other island is Vieques. Culebra is about 22 miles east of Puerto Rico.

That’s nice. Is there one like that in the path of Hurricane Irma?

I’ll agree with that. Buffon Chris Justus has panic on his twitter and Facebook. They gonna cause a run on gas and groceries. Dumbbutts.

Are any of those in use along the path of Hurricane Irma, snark?Don't know. But the Mt. Washington weather station just mentioned uses one. There's a photo of it alongside a regular anemometer at the end of the Wikipedia article. Looks like something that might be commercially available. As indicated in the article, they have to be kept clean.

Please don’t post unsubstantiated, un-credited photos which don’t have a location in this forum. I am looking for useful storm prep info and local reports as Hurricane Irma takes aim at CONUS.

I’m going to guess that anemometer doesn’t work as well in salty environs.
