Hurricane Irma Live Thread III
NHC/NOAA ^ | NHC/NOAA | NHC/NOAA

Posted on 09/09/2017 2:08:31 PM PDT by NautiNurse

The entire Florida Peninsula and points north are poised to experience Hurricane Irma after the storm hugged Cuba's northern coastline. Thousands of Floridians who evacuated the Atlantic cost to Gulf Coast areas found their safe shelter under direct threat from Hurricane Irma as the forecast shifted W Friday night and Saturday. Hurricane Irma's prolonged interaction with Cuba diminished its strength to Category 3.

Irma is forecast to increase in strength as it crosses the FL Straits. The Florida Keys experienced strong outer bands while Irma grazed the N Cuba coastline.

I guess if I put these hurricanes on a hot wheels track they may go there.

Jose is out to sea and Irma needs 1,000,000 to go home on 95 so the rest have somewhere to go. You don’t screw up this bad with this many people.

Miami is spared and many are already in NC.

Appears to be moving more NW now. Key West looks like it will get some kind of eyewall action.

You sound really upset. It kept going west for a while. All forecasters are entitled to their opinions. When they’re wrong, folks don’t excoriate them.

NHC Upgraded her to Cat 4 with 130 MPH winds and pressure of 931 as of 2am advisory. And several hours to feast on the bathwater before arriving at Key West.

No you were an egotistical jackass. And you are no forecaster. I rip you a new one for you pretending otherwise.

I hope you learn from this....

That type of approach will never get a response you want. Not while I am still breathing. Take it easy...better for your health.

Well, OK. People that do not understand what a hurricane wants to do is not very bright.

A Hurricane can be controlled by many things. The best I learned was Elana. She was nuts.

The kids today seem to have no sense of history.

There is a reason for the observation. The assumed direction could be wrong.

Well, it looks to wobble to the left next, with that...”multi-vortex” lopsided spiral.

The “heavier” side may still he stretching the bond with the...rest.

Wobble increasing.

Or it be done turning and wobbling.

Either way, 99.9999 percent agree.

Key West “wins.”

Apparently you are beyond humility. I am sure you will be back making more uninformed vanity posts going forward.

No. You are showing no signs of realizing the reasons for just how wrong you were.

Hmm. Thought the study of motion of a hurricane eye was relavent.
