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

Posted on 09/04/2017 2:02:19 PM PDT by NautiNurse

While thoughts and prayers are with our Texas FRiends and neighbors, we are at the peak of the Atlantic Tropical Storm season. Hurricane Irma continues its trek from Cape Verde across the pond and toward the Hebert Box (see below). People with interests in the Southeastern U.S. and Gulf of Mexico should be alert to the forecast path updates for this powerful storm. It is important to note that the average NHC track errors are about 175 and 225 statute miles at days 4 and 5, respectively.

Hurricane Irma originally had a small wind field. In the past 24 hours, however, the wind field has expanded with hurriance force winds up to 40 miles from the center, and tropical storm force winds up to 140 miles from the storm center.

FL Governor Rick Scott reminds Floridians: Families should take time today to make sure you have a disaster plan and fully-stocked Disaster Supply Kit. Florida residents from West Palm Beach to Tampa Bay are heeding the alert. Store shelves are emptying of bottled water.

It will turn her to the east and Florida will dodge the bullet again.

One poster said it was taken in 2016 and another said the video was speeded up. Was scary at any rate. Anyhow...I don’t think its that close to Barbado yet, is it?

It went south real quick there. Insanity. My anxiety has just increased exponentially.

Holy carp, that's some terrible wind! And there were a bunch of fools driving through the streets as tree limbs tore off and whirled past them...

Looks like a direct hit. NHC has it hitting there about 1:00 pm AST tomorrow.

Wish I could screenshot it for you but the program I have won’t let me do that.

FYI- PR has nothing to do with DACA. PR are US citizens. Now, back to the storm...

Lake Mary, two Publix visits and no water. Everyone is very polite so far. We have many water containers so we may just store.

Yes PR is US....they make certain we are continually reminded of that every time something goes on there that requires money..... However they do flood most of the time....so Hurricanes will always do damage there.

National guard already activated in Puerto Rico..... almost 500 emergency shelters have been set-up ahead of Irma.

Those threads were phenomenal. Pre-twitter. I actually knew a couple of guys doing big-time logistical aftermath work that scanned our Katrina threads several times a day.

Historical, truly. But a different world, tech-wise.

Plus, Shep, Beer Guy and Geraldo;)
