from Ryan Maue on twitter. "Eastern Gulf of Mexico ocean temperatures (SST) are bath water just like Straits of Florida. Some vertical shear won't overcome this fuel."

While it's slow, just wanted to say thanks for the info from someone who has been lurking around some of you guys since several years ago on another board. Always a lot of good info and I've learned a ton, even though I still feel clueless a lot of the time. I'll be happy to throw you guys a few bucks soon. Y'all are great.
Back to lurking. Thanks again.

Uh oh. That sounds like Irma finished her tour of the Cuba coast and is ready to turn up. Praying those on the west side of Florida prepped.

Not making light of any human costs with Irma, but agriculture losses may be historic. Many may not know, but Florida has a diverse agriculture "footprint" Cattle, row crops and of course citrus. South GA, includes, peanuts, pecans, cotton and other row crops.

Wow that's some warm water in the Eastern GOM....Lordy mercy
Sure wish I didn't have to close on my house and move during this! Didn't calculate this in the time crunch and not sure what to expect. Yikes!!

This track is almost as bad as the orginal east coast track the GFS had as far as population and even worse for surge. Yes Miami-Lauderdale have arounf 6 million but Tampa has over 3 and then Fort myers has 3/4 of a million, Naples half a million and so on... Problem is there is quite a bit of experience with strong storms hitting SE Fl, no so much with Tampa so we are not sure what the impacts will be like of a strong cat 3 or weak cat 4 storm (possibly even higher)

8 am advisory has Irma at 130. I expect a false sense of relief

It seems that because of the SW movement, N GA is looking worse for winds. I don't know what that could do.I see the 00z Euro went even further SW into Georgia . Hard NW turn has been showing up for days . Looks like we are headed that way
