Tropical Major Hurricane Irma (Part 1)

[skywatcher]

I may actually get what I've wanted all along. No, not a track into NC because that's what I called for landfall early on, but instead a track right into my back yard.

Where exactly are you, Taylor? I'm hoping several hundred miles from the AL coast.

They posted earlier today. Extreme as far northwest as Chattanooga, Dalton, Atlanta

145 kt sfc on the vdm 165 mph

141 knots was the highest inflated, so I bet we have a cat 5 again. I wonder if they will find cat 5 in Jose too...

There isn't much tracking left to do with Irma. We all know it's going to happen, and not much will change probably. So, I think we should all go over to the Irma banter and have some fun. lol.

Just started to say. Shes beast mode. Look at this satellite imagery. Lord. Looks to be rapidly intensifying once again.

That is about the stupidest map Ive ever seen. Judging by that map, it shows the same impact level for North GA as it does for Florida. Also in AL, it shows the impact level going from extreme to insignificant in just 30 miles or so.

agreed...really lame map

Did Irma take a bit of a southwest wobble? Regardless, we could see 3 or even 4 landfalls depending on where it goes.

Irma will be a cat 5 at the 11 pm update.

Run the loop outflow on NW side doesn't look as good as rest of Irma, not effecting strength obviously at all but wonder if it's feeling the trough or maybe just maybe a little shear up ahead.... hoping for anything to weaken it any

IMHO - too close to the bar on the beach - taking a sip of rum and smoking a cigar ...

If the eye is just right on the coast and over open water at times, Irma could maintain it's major hurricane status.

Gov. Ivey has issued a state of emergency in Alabama ahead of the storm.
