Hurricane Irma

[Brometheus]

I'm in Houston, lost most of my things to Harvey due to flooding, very little wind damage. Have family and friends in Miami and I'm hoping Irma does not hit So. Fl. Be safe, cuidense my brothers.

Sorry to here that man.Hoping you and your loved ones are safe and that the recovery is quick. Goodluck!

 

[Brometheus]

Anxious over Irma. Moved to Philly this summer. Very strange being far away from all of this

 

[Notsince1985]

We just watched one, Harvey that didn't.

As soon as Harvey organized itself in the Gulf, it turned right.

Stop changing your story

My story was that Atlantic hurricanes turn north. Somehow you brought Harvey into it after Harvey was a mess until it got into the Gulf.

Your story is that you care so much about being right, you can't tell when people are messing with you.

We know how this is gonna go down: We're gonna get hyped until we put up the shutters, at which point it veers away from us.

The reference point is looking increasingly more obvious: The Miami area needs Irma to make landfall in Cuba and remain over land as long as possible. All the proposed tracks that include Cuban landfall keep Irma away from South Florida. Irma turns north in those tracks either in the Naples area or further out into the Gulf, later threatening the panhandle.

The tracks that keep Irma just north of Cuba are the ominous ones. The expected northward turn in those models is smack toward the Miami area.

The good news is that each recent update has trended Irma closer to that Cuba landfall.

You do realize that if this thing heads north on the western side of Fla that the Miami areas are in for the worst of the storm?

The idea is to keep wherever your at to the WEST of the eye.

Some of the models have it so far off the west coast of Florida that Miami wouldn't feel much impact. I'm not saying those are the consensus at the moment but the trend has been westerly.

Scroll to the middle of this link for the map with the "Latest GEFS Model." You'll note all the red lines well off the coast and aiming toward Tallahassee.

I hope that becomes the trend tomorrow with the more reliable models. Max Mayfield on Channel 10 is the best local weather guy regarding hurricanes and it's not particularly close. On the 4 PM news today Mayfield showed the current track of the Euro model and also the best American model. Currently both of them have the eye of Irma heading north and basically covering Miami at 2 PM on Sunday.

Isn't that always how these things end up? The ones you get panicked about and prepare for don't hit. The ones that you take for granted are the ones that get you. We spent days prepping from Matthew when 2 days out the forecast was Jupiter taking a direct hit. Nothing. Three months later a random tornado came through that nobody was ready for.

The new update from NHC has it hitting the north side of Cuba this Saturday (obviously, these things aren't gospel).

Literally every update has moved the storm south and west. Lets hope (selfishly for us) that keeps happening.

I do not want that thing in our gulf waters!! Temps out there are very high right now, that's a cat 5 waiting..I would just as soon it stay in the Atlantic, even if it means we take it on the chin. It gets to the gulf and its gonna be substantially worse for whomever gets stuck with it

You'd better hope so. Unless the low pressure system comes in to pull it north, this storm is going to do a lot of harm. Currently category 4

 

[CanesFan23]

First off, anyone in its possible path needs to start planning now. I just spent the last few hours running around town gathering supplies and it's already a mad house. It's only going to get worse.

My guess is this thing has a chance to affect the Ark St game and the FSU game.

It's projected to possibly be in the Miami area Saturday evening. Would they cancel the travel for precautionary reasons or player safety returning home?

If it goes out into the gulf and comes up toward Tallahassee and hits with any strength, the city may be without power for weeks. I live in Tallahassee and that weak as Hermine had some people here without power for 9 days. If there's ANY chance of it hitting Tallahassee, you can bet your *** they're be looking for any excuse to push that game back later in the season.

Nobody is saying to take it lightly.

still some uncertainty in the forecast. hopefully it misses S. Florida. I don't live down there anymore, but almost all of my family does. either way, stay prepared guys.

Yeah, I'm sure the people in Houston thought Harvey was "good news", or that it wasn't "ominous", because it didn't hit Miami.

***** stop crossin' yo' shriveled up nuts hoping Irma hits other people and not you.

Fuq you, & fuq Irma.

 

[Notsince1985]

The only thing I don't want to see, is everyone saying "I guarantee___." That's what happens every single time there's a hurricane. 967 posters cancelled the FSU game last year. Done deal. Wasn't happening.

 

[bobshrum]

Too far away to worry about

Matthew was right next door to FL and they still got the prediction wrong

Did you forget Ark St is away?

Zero chance it affects that game. Maybe we'd fly out Tr night instead of Fri but even that s unlikely to be needed.

The real concern (football-wise obviously) is this affecting prep for FSU week. We might not be able to practice at home is this thing centers on S FL. Also possible concern about home games moving forward, althougjh I'm guessing Hard Rock has be designed to withstand this type of storm.

If you live anywhere in the southern part of the state coast to coast from Key West up you better be making plans to GTF out of there.
These things are hundreds of miles wide and your banking on a computer model moving it a 1/2 degree west which is 1-15 miles max.

S. Fla is gonna take a hard lick and I'm hoping all of you guys down there take heed and batten up and get out cause this thing looks nasty.Please be safe.

As to you I'd sit there and keep hoping that it will move another half degree west so it will hit someone else.

 

[Hurracanes]

I'm in Miami, and I can tell you everyone I speak to is prepairing for this storm and not taking it lightly.

Get out and go where? Unless you are in a mandatory evac zone, that's horrible advice.

The game is away, but an airplane would have to fly the team back into a possibly closed airport, and 120 players and staff members could have homes getting pummeled by a Cat 4 hurricane during the game. It wouldn't be the first time that the road team was affected by a natural disaster.
