          300 km/h (190 mph) winds.

          Holy sh-t.

          If you're scoring at home the record is 408 km/h (253 mph).

            Cat 5s are incredible. It's really hard to imagine an EF4 to EF5 tornado with impact the size of a GD hurricane center. I think of EF4s and EF5s as total destruction. I think of Cat 1 hurricanes as bad, but really not the worst considering winds are 75-100 mph. When you get the Cat 5, the energy is hard to even fathom.

            Rarer though is the strength of the hurricanes, with Harvey making landfall in the US as a category four.

            There have never been two category four storms making landfall on the US mainland during the same season, since records began.

              I've seen estimates that a cat 5 hitting NYC would do more structural damage than a 15kt nuke.

              I've been in a cat 1 (Belle 1976) and I cannot conceive of winds twice as strong.

                Looking through photos from our St. John trip and comparing to current radar and the eye wall is currently about a mile in the background of all of our shots from Annaberg Sugar Plantation.

                Over the island of Tortola.

                Can't even imagine although I sorta can coz I can still picture that view in my mind's eye.

                  Looks like the folks in Savannah and Hilton Head and Charleston should be on the lookout.

                    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.


                    Thanks Gurt, we'll be fine either here in place or getting out. Latest GFS run has Irma close or right on South beach and heading north. Hope your sis is secure and safe. Pucker factor is going up for Miami area. One good thing is that the East coast is less susceptible to inundation from storm surge. Less being a relative term --

                    South Carolina has just declared a state of emergency. New Euro is up. West of the GFS, hitting around the middle Keys and heading North. This morning's eastern trend doesn't seem to have survived the latest model run.

                    Have a few more shutters to put up.

                      Is this because the FL / GA coast is a line so the waves likely hit obliquely while the gulf coast is an arc so the waves more likely hit directly? (If so then Savannah is f-cked.)

                        Wisko, I'd quote but too much to trim on mobile. I'm at work, now in Baton Rouge, will be headed north on the Mississippi.

                        Keeping an eye on Irma still, but don't believe I'll head home (Brandon/Riverview area) with current tracks. Tomorrow will be my 'decision' day, and I'd travel back Friday if it shifts back west.

                          Most of the latest model tracks seem to be hinting at something dangerously close to a direct hit on the Miami area. I'm thinking that would probably be a bad outcome. Hopefully they keep moving east.

                              This will be the first time multiple cat 4s or above make landfall in the US in the same season.

                              Ever.

                              But no, climate change isn't real so don't mention it in government reports.

                                Their average error at that range is close to 200 miles. Keep that in mind.
