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.

You got that right.

Living in New England and in states north of NC things with a few exceptions have been quiet the last few years have been quiet. Right now these storms are looking for warm bath temps waters.

Thanks, TIK. Not promising for the good people in the Keys.

You got your degree in meteorology just where again?

And how many years have you been working in weather forecasting?

When the model tracks are so tightly grouped together and overlapping that you can’t tell which one is which—this is called, “All the forecast models are in agreement.”

So to translate that for the men in the audience....girl-scout preparedness for them would be akin to “Hunker down and protect your cookies!”

The last big one going further north was late in the season Sandy of 5 years ago.

You get to hunker down after securing the shutters, mowing the lawn, and taking out the trash. ;o)

Called a private jet outfit to see if she and her dog can get on a plane. You are absolutely right. Makes no sense for me to fly down there........

Wish me luck.

Yeah, my niece, nephew and I were part of that Charlie evacuation from the Keys. It went real smooth. I was a very impressed Yankee. ; )

We are fully prepared for hurricanes. We have a years food supply. Lots of water and water filtration. Plenty of gasoline and 2 generators. Lots of ammo. But our main defense is living in Utah. I think we are pretty safe.

Irma can scoot right into the golf pick up steam and then go back across the top half of Florida. Don’t count your roof tiles before their thatched.
