Hurricane Irma Live Thread Part II
NHC/NOAA ^ | NHC/NOAA | NHC/NOAA

Posted on 09/07/2017 8:09:47 AM PDT by NautiNurse

Dangerous Category 5 Hurricane Irma had a devastating impact on islands in the Caribbean.

Hurricane and Storm surge watches were issued Thursday morning for South Florida. The Florida Keys began evacuating visitors and residents, followed by flood zones in Miami and Miami Beach. Sarasota FL declared a local state of emergency Thursday morning.

Polk County FL Sheriff Grady Judd said Wednesday that law enforcement authorities would check the identities of people who turn up at shelters--and take to jail anyone found to have an active arrest warrant. “If you go to a shelter for Irma and you have a warrant, we’ll gladly escort you to the safe and secure shelter called the Polk County Jail... “If you have a warrant, turn yourself in to the jail — it’s a secure shelter.” Judd also posted that sex offenders and sex predators would not be admitted to the shelters. "We cannot and we will not have innocent children in a shelter with sexual offenders & predators. Period." Judd's statements unleashed a liberal firestorm via Twitter.

That explains why climate change science is so inaccurate, impossible to know all the way initial conditions.

"Here’s what I know so far.Many Utilies Trucks are staging at Lake City Fl.National Ass.of Journeymen Linemen expect up to 3,000,000 People to be without power.They are asking everyone to be patient thru the next 2 months. Son-in-Law is there. I know many of his crew. They told him to expect to be away 40 days."

I have a lot of respect for Florida Power And Light:

"Florida Power & Light`s quest for the Deming Prize paid off on Wednesday as the utility became the first non-Japanese company to receive the prestigious international award for quality."

Justa...go here....open full screen and up quality if you want to see Irma rolling into the West Keys...can’t believe how quick the sky darkened, white caps moving much quicker and waves lapping at the nose jetting out there...not to mention trees swaying.

CAm is high in the air so i don’t expect it’ll be there once things get rougher...

Bastardi didn’t do a daily update video, but he is tweeting. Here’s one from 20 mins. ago:

“This should intensify quite rapidly late tonight till landfall. Already starting to ramp up. “

...and... 4 mins ago (with corrections - he can’t type worth beans):

“[i]mmense warmth with Irma demonstrated by Nassau ob[servations]. Gusts over 35, but temps of 90 with DP [dewpoint] 81. Irma should explode over [Florida] Straits”

Key West Airport Cam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43jaVP3EP7Y

The runway is often under water during a heavy thunderstorm. Good cam for watching the storm surge.

"Start to go...where??? North, West, out to sea?"

Toward Tampa, via the middle of the Keys, Cape Sable, Naples, etc.

Report from Del Ray Beach, FL via my inlaws. The live just west of the turnpike. They have lost cable and the land line telephone is intermittent, cell phone works fine for now. Several of their friends in Miami report power outages. No report on wind or rain from them at this time.
