It's probably just a wobble but northern edge of the eyewall finally brushing 17N..... either way I think the Islands are in trouble.

180 mph on best track
Shocking
This thing might be 200 mph at some point at this rate. 190 mph is the atlantic record

Anguilla looks like it may take the hit. This was just posted on StormCarib.com from Anguilla. I think it says about as much as you can say if you're there. Can almost here a quivering voice in the last sentence like holding onto one last glimmer of hope before all hell breaks lose! 
"UPDATE TUESDAY 8:00 AM – Lord help us! Direct hit in the morning, now cat 5, Hurricane Hunter/NOAA report winds near center of 175 mph – WITH HIGHER GUSTS. Fluctuations won’t make much difference - 45 mile wide core. At least cat 4. Here right now – wind N at 0-10 mph, bar. 1009.4 steady – pretty day."

Strongest hurricane on record this far east in the atlantic
The 12z model runs will be telling for sure

The advisory says the gusts right now are at 215 mph. Just insane. Better be no ships near it.
I hate those slight -----!From Allan

I am ROTF! The thing is, it still makes sense!
Just curious anyone know if one model is verifying better then others with current location strength of the ridge and the trough?
FWIW NAVGEM brings it up the spine of Fl....

This is terrible. Wherever Irma decides to go is going to be a catastrophe. This might be worst than Harvey.
Wind damage wise it probably will . Flooding wise it shouldn't be due the fact the storm will be on the move and not just sitting

Yeah it probably will be esp if it hits the Dominican Republic and Haiti

Irma definitely looks ready for an ERC. The inner eyeball is warming and doesn't look as healthy.
