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 was in Greenville,SC for work and booked through Saturday.

They thanked me when I checked out Friday at 8am.

I live in the N. Charlotte Metro.

That hotel sold out.

Lower right allows you to change to MPH. Let me make sure it did not reset.

Where abouts are you located in JAcksonville. I have family close to St. Johns Bay but ‘above the evacuation zones’ as they’re in an elevated area.

They’re all shuttered and well prepared but I am concerned...

Radar already showing Cat 5 gusts

Not surprised. With it slowing down, and with all that warm water it's passing over, it seemed likely that it was going to greatly strengthen.

About a mile north of the Naval Air Station and a few blocks off the St Johns river— zone c. Neighbors across the street are zone a.

Very strange eye right now. Almost like a figure 8.

60 knot winds at edge of outer eyewall, now 13 miles SE of KBYX, at 120.

60 knot gusts also at radar now, inner edge of outer band.

Center moved 6.2 NM at 327 between 6:39:21 and 7:25:50 Zulu. 7.4 NM/hour.

Eta WBYX at 9am EDT. WBYX on Key West north shore, 1/4 way from W to E.

Eye center will miss radar by 0.0 miles on this course, giving the right 3/4 of Key West max surge and wind.

Gets even stranger:

I hope those are not vortexes like we saw in Harvey around landfall, that means a rapidly intensifying storm. Beyond that, the convection keeps getting deeper around the center and outwards.

Every hotel ‘in Alabama’ is full...so rooms are surely a precious commodity now pretty much everywhere I suspect.

It’s generating the spoke spiral things in the eye that Harvey did. One of them just triggered a TVS on the inner eyewall.

If it were a cartoon that would mean the hurricane would split in two now. One would go up the west side and one would go up the east side.

Silly- I know.

A friend is reporting 7 inches of rain in past few hours, in Ft Pierce.

On the east coast.

A rain band parked over them.
