    My daughter used to live in Orlando. Thank god she moved to Phoenix; she just saved me the cost of a ticket to fly up to us.

      Yet, another reality check on Houston.

      Exactly what is government for? I'm not so sure.

        Are you really shocked by this? Money is all that matters, you are old enough to know this by now. The developers got theirs, screw everyone else.

Lee County (Ft Myers, Sanibel, Cape Coral;named after Robert E )hasn't made a call yet but will likely follow suit shortly. With Irma looking like it will move pretty much South to North it's a bit difficult to decide where to go. It will be just be following everyone North. Plus right now Irma is about 300 miles wide. FL is mostly around 150 miles wide. Major hurricane moving up the west coast could be really devastating. NE quadrants are always the worst, and millions of people and lots of low, low land from below Naples up well past Tampa. All that could go well under water.
          According to Rush Limbaugh, all you're going to see is a little summer rain and a gentle breeze at worst. This "evacuation" and "dire warnings" are just liberal climate change propaganda bullsh** that red-blooded Americans should ignore.

            And when they have output like that, they get ignored. Trust me on this, the GFS has been absolutely dreadful, especially with tropical cyclones, since it's supposed "upgrade" at the start of the summer. Most meteorologists have been ignoring the intensity output from the GFS with regards to storms, because it is completely unreasonable.

                      Overnight model runs have shifted east a bit, and NHC advisory reflecting about a half step until future models show consistency.

                      Good news for me and Wisko on the gulf coast, but I have a good friend in Freeport Bahamas and others up the eastern seaboard that could see it now. Kinda torn.

                          Hope you're still in TX? Or are you hustling back to catch a piece of Irma too? Sheesh... what luck.


                          Stores out of water, gas stations out of gas in much of S FL as everybody is getting ready. Fortunately the big run started early enough that resupply will probably get in well before the storm. Pretty much everything is closing Thursday and Friday in SW Florida. A better shift overnight for the West coast, but we're all pretty reluctant to feel better about Irma as the track has shifted back and forth every day. When will it Turn? Bermuda high shifts east and the high over the US sinks lower and Irma heads North between them... Where that will exactly be located is anyone's guess yet and 100 miles could make a huge difference.

                          And yeah... my house not getting crushed might mean two or three others some place else get it. Hard to feel good about these shifts either way. I personally know a number of people who have/will head toward South Carolina... today Irma may follow... tomorrow who knows? For most of the locals in S. FL I'd say the current anxiety is pretty high, but it's caused as much by uncertainty as anything else. If some body just could say "Here's what's going to happen." everybody could just get on with going about their plan and would feel a bit better.

                          Going to go put on the hurricane shutters this morning. Barring a major change, currently planning on heading North tomorrow.



                          Edit: Oh and one more thing, current NHC has the 5 day eye centered just a few miles west of Okeechobee which is held back by the Herbert Hoover dike. Everyone knows the dike is in need of repair... Biggest disaster here was in 1928 when the San Felipe hurricane drown nearly 2000 people after the western dike was smashed... A similar failure now would be an unimaginable catastrophic disaster.

                            Good luck Wisko.

                            My sister is in Boca. I've told her she is welcome and can even bring the cat, but she's gonna ride it out. She's been through a few of these including Andrew, so I guess she knows what to expect.

                            Hoping for the best for all concerned.

                            See that St. John and St. Thomas may be in the path or at least are gonna get a close shave.

                              For my friends and family in Puerto Rico, the slight shift to the north looks promising.

                              But I feel for friends we have made in St Maarten. They are right in the eye for the last broadcast I saw in TWC. Ouch.
