I just don't see how this things gonna turn north like a lot of projections say

looking at all the wind within 6-700 miles of it and everything is headed directly west. The only part heading north is just below the hurricane itself and that's what's being sucked up into the thing

if it was a bit more north I could see it, but eh will keep posted

Better safe then sorry but I agree. And if that thing turns north and hits South Fla at a Cat 5 we are the most unlucky SOBs on the face of the earth.

Hurricanes are not steered by SURFACE winds. Looking at a surface map for the purposes of prediction of movement is fairly useless.

Hopefully Irma finds another way to go. After having Harvey in Houston last week, I wish nothing like that upon anyone. Y'all be safe.
