Well to have to state the obvious, you can't play a sport while glued to your phone....

That graphic is great for showing the west shift in the eps

Obviously the west shift with the Eps is troubling because it was the one thing still showing ots solutions last night and now that's just about gone....

Today Per 12z its looking more and more likely to have some major impacts from Irma to SC.. Landfall is also looking more likely!!

Is that "!!" to express excitement, or excited expectations?

It is. Is that what the green line is supposed to show?

I do think a lot of people want this to make landfall as a cat 5. Some people, for whatever reason, love to see destruction. Im not saying thats good or bad, its just the way some people are.

We have a hospital ward for folks that revel in other folks' hurt ...

All I want is to see Jeff take flight, that is all. Is it too much to ask?

 

[WeatherWatch]

I've been seeing some questions rather or not Irma will go OTS?
Irma has a better chance at effecting land/making landfall vs going OTS. Remember, don't focus on excact track.

From Huffman showing the shift...

 

[Brick Tamland]

So now it looks like it either hits FL and then SC or NC or both, or miss Florida and hit SC or NC or both. Seems like SC and NC lose either way.

No one here wants to see a cat 5 hitting anywhere...it's quite the opposite.

We can cross that topic off for this storm now

Has any storm ever made 3 landfalls in the US ?

 

[SimeonNC]

Would Tennessee or Kentucky be good evacuation places to go to?

Expectations. Really?? Excitement

Ivan made 3, but one was a hurricane, one a depression, and the other a TS.

Good to know. It's right where I think the mean aught to be.

 

[Metwannabe]

That is definitely a good option, but you have to run them outside. I don't have a generator, but I do have a very large battery that has power outlets on it, and can be hooked up to a solar panel that it came with. Probably a good investment for ice storms up here, but for coastal areas, a generator is best.

Hey I created a thread because I think this would be great info but could clutter up this one.... so can you move these post there? I can't or don't know how Lol

Yeah the blue was the mean, the black was the operational green as storm mentioned was the control....their pretty close actually

Freeze bottled water to kill 2 birds with one stone. Fill your bathtubs with water, not for drinking but so you can flush the toilet. Charcoal to grill outside, non-perishable food, etc. basically plan for a long camping trip!
