Tropical Major Hurricane Irma (Part 1)

[pcbjr]

If I were in South FL and saw that there wasn't much change in the model runs by 12z tomorrow, I'd prepare to leave and leave on Wednesday. As it is I'm not but the rain that's been shown is making me nervous...

Wednesday or Thursday down there makes perfect sense; I-95 is a disaster

Not a hurricane expert, would this storm have tornadoes?

In a word - Yes ...

Yes, every hurricane has the potential for tornadoes.

Unfortunately, it would probably give Harvey a run for the money for tornadoes generated.

no doubt... especially to the east northeast of the center

When is the last time two Cat 4 or higher storms hit the US in the same year ?

It almost stalls for quite a while near where SC, GA, and NC come together.

Mainly on the right side I believe ? Tornado threat usually much lower to the west of the center if I remember correctly.

On this run ...
Folks - this is only a model run at this point - lots left to unfold
Just sayin' - keep your dinner down ...

 

[JHS]

The central and eastern parts of both NC and SC would get plenty of tornadoes if this verifies.

... ahhhh - but would you get rain?

At the rate were going, I may need to invest in a generator. I can only imagine there would be widespread powerline/tree damage well inland up here with a track like that, not to mention the elevated risk for tornadoes.

widespread panic ...

anyone got the music ... LOL

Lol, no need for a generator in Atlanta. Maybe some rain and a few wind gusts. The main action would be well east of Atlanta along with the threat for tornadoes. Keep in mind Atlanta would most likely be on the drier, less dangerous side.

I believe 1915 was the year two CAT 4's hit....Galveston and N.Orleans.

It keeps trending west and winds would still be pretty high. Rain totals are pretty high

As much as my potential weenie is coming out about the possibility of some interesting weather in north Georgia let's keep two things in mind:

1. The track of this storm has and will contuine to change.

2. Arguing about the intensity of inland effects a week away from landfall is counterproductive.

Let's follow the models, track the storm, and hope it doesn't cause destruction and human suffering in the process.
