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 would appear that Branson’s telecoms did not make it.

>and beg for a handout. But in all fairness, that’s exactly what the West Virginian’s did after Sandy.
Is that so? I recall being without power for 14 days and dealing with 4-5 feet of wet snow. No machine to clear the 1/8 mile driveway to the county road that did not clear for 3 days. No problem, 30 bails of hay and a few hundred gallons of used motor oil and diesel and a match melted a nice channel down the driveway.
Did we ask for or get any government money? No, we did not. Have a nice day and don’t forget to support those in paradise.

It seems that Ft. Lauderdale has not simulated for storm surges. Everyone who lives in the area says there are no storm surges because of a reef a few miles out..
Me, I'm an inexperienced Yankee and I don't believe it until I see it. Surges scare the heck out of me.

Could knock South Beach back to where it was 40 years ago. You mean when it was a crumbling slum? The one that we clearly remember from the TV series Miami Vice?

CNN: “The worst storm in Puerto Rico history.”
reality: cat-5 hurricane offshore, cat-1 winds brushing the northern coast, minor damage.
and they wonder why there are accusations of fake news.
