Tropical Major Hurricane Irma (Part 2)

Probably underperformed on rain. Only got about 2 inches, when models were showing 3-5. Wind was predicted around spot on. ATL registered a 61 mph gust. Lost of tree damage and power outages.

Glenn Burns said the 61 mph gust in ATL was not the norm. He said most areas peaked around 40mph

It didn't even come close here in Alabama. The winds were way higher and stronger. Opal rocked us here where I live. We were without power for a week or more after Opal. Widespread power outages and trees down everywhere.

Yep opal was a beast and a good portion of Alabama was on the east side of the storm AND opal was FLYING NE after landfall which only made the winds worse . Irma is crawling through and went ET
 
I believe that if this thing would have stayed over the gulf and made landfall up around the bend in FL or eastern panhandle, this would have been far worse over GA and AL. Irma making landfall in south FL truly saved us from things being much worse IMO.
 
I think this storm did exactly what the forecast said with the exception of rain. The wind was a bit worse than Ivan but it as drier and colder for sure

There's a great thread in the general weather forum to discuss the upcoming heat and other stuff related to September weather. Thanks guys
 
IMBY it performed how the models said it would. GFS was closer on actual gusts. Euro was a little over zealous on the potential wind gusts speed
 
My home away from home could have been worse for Hilton Head
