So Gov Scott is saying even people in Pensacola need to prepare to evacuate ?

Wow Stormlover .. I am listening to local radio station out Miami via I Heart Radio and did not hear that.

He stated that on tv as I posted that.

I just posted his exact words. That seems impossible and he didn't explain what he meant by be ready soon, etc.

Hopefully this G-IV mission can get some better details on what's going on with this wacked out ridge. Been some pretty consistent divergent flow over SW FL around Naples, Pt. Charlotte in WV the last 24 hrs. Might be some clues as to where the extent of the ridge is. NOT SAYING THATS WHERE ITS GOING!

I would assume this thing will come up right in the middle of Florida from the South.. and East corrections will commence.. but that EPS run with many members in Cuba is interesting.

Agree about the EPS into Cuba but right now it is still gaining latitude and maybe it's a wobble but it might just miss Cuba...

My aunt drove here from West Palm on Wednesday and it was already bad with gas running out. Can't imagine if someone waited last minute. Do they have a plan to help stranded motorists?

They had a number to call if you had no gas and needed help in mandatory evac area

Be glad when she leaves, tired of hearing the word "WEST".

Hope springs eternal but we're 18 hours or so from nowcasting ...


Beautiful family, BTW ...

I guess Jose is not close enough to Irmas path to be impacted by upwelling ?
