Ouch, not to be a selfish asshole but I'm glad that Irma is not going to hit us here in the Texas Gulf Coast again, I hope it stays far from land and doesn't land anywhere and just fizzles out.

Go right ahead and be selfish lol. I don't think anyone is gonna begrudge you for saying "fuck I hope it hits somewhere else" after all that is going on right now.

I mean going out to sea is the best option but i think you're allowed to hope it doesn't hit you without coming across as an asshole.

 

[xkramz]

So lower the mb the worst it is?

yes

I'm with you.

As a Houstonian, I'd rather see it hit somewhere else. These past couple weeks have been almost unbearable.

I will, however, do whatever I can to contribute toward relief efforts if it makes landfall.

 

[rucury]

PR reporting in. People here are either nervous as hell about Irma or don't even know its coming. I'm just really hoping that shit goes away, university starts next week for a lot of us and we already had a huge setback due to student strikes last semester... I just wanna graduate!!

I'm simultaneously relieved and horrified.

 

[Poltergust]

Latest GFS model:

This is Irma, right? Hopefully it keeps turning clockwise and goes to the sea.

 

[maquiladora]

This is Irma, right? Hopefully it keeps turning clockwise and goes to the sea.

Good news is that the latest GFS model keeps it away from the Islands and the East Coast. Latest Euro model has shifted in that direction too. But it's far too soon to know for sure.

 

[Dishwalla]

Latest GFS model:

Fuck this shit, coming right for us.

When is this for, Sept 10th? Get back into Norfolk on Tuesday, will be looking at picking up supplies then/Wednesday.

 

[MrJames]

Latest Euro has shifted north to join the others.

06z GFS is still running but looks to keep the eye out to sea.

 

[pestul]

That's a hard right turn. A fish storm is a good storm.. any chance the really long range might hit Newfoundland though?

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

The latest video on Tropical Tidbits has some good breakdown of the storm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2XWRaeQeak

 

[teiresias]

Come on hard right turn!!! That latest GFS would be far better than the 00z run for us here in Hampton Roads.

 

[MrNelson]

10 days out still leaves a lot of room for change in the path. A few days ago the models had it on a more southern track. Just keep an eye on it and if you're still in the path in the 5 day forecast, then you can start worrying.

Yep...if it does this I am getting out. Not staying in Norfolk for this

 

[pulsemyne]

My god the size of it on the GFS models. It's a monster storm. Let's hope it is going to be a fish because 896 MB that far north is staggering. If that was further south you would be looking at mid 880's for pressure. (Air pressure is different the further north you go for a range of reasons).

I’m in VB behind the Amphitheater. If she’s coming I’m going.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Ugh we live in DC, but fly out to Maine for a wedding on September 15th. Irma better curve out to sea.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I don't like these tracks

 

[legacyzero]

Latest GFS model:

Man, literally 90% of my family live in Virginia.. My father lives in Hampton. In a double-wide trailer.

06z GFS is still running but looks to keep the eye out to sea.

This would be better

 

[maabus1999]

I'd wait until 4 SEP to get too worried. The ridge will be better modelled, intensity better understood, and recon flight data will be in the models.

 

[MrNelson]

Irma downgraded to Cat 2 for the moment.

 

[maquiladora]

Rhode Island landfall on the 12Z GFS. But it's ridiculously far away: 300 hours. So don't take that seriously.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Irma downgraded to Cat 2 for the moment.

Not really that big of a drop

 

[MrNelson]

Not really that big of a drop

Ya, it was only a 5 mph wind speed drop.

But it sounds better at least

The latest Euro...920mb monster in the Bahamas heading NW.

Edit: Turns towards the southeast coast on day 10. Still a long way to go.

Please, fuck no.

 

[Barzul]

The latest Euro...920mb monster in the Bahamas heading NW.

wtf what changed. I thought it was swinging north.

 

[witness]

The latest Euro...920mb monster in the Bahamas heading NW.

Too close to Florida (Orlando) for comfort, gonna stock up on food this weekend.

 

[fluffydelusions]

920mb is no joke...welp

 

[perfectchaos007]

wtf what changed. I thought it was swinging north.

It will. It's just going to give the east coast blue balls by coming reeeeeeally close before pulling away

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Wherever this hits, it's going to be bad.

I have a lot of family in central Florida (Orlando).

 

[PhantomThief]

Damn this going to be a freaking insane one.

 

[fluffydelusions]

It will. It's just going to give the east coast blue balls by coming reeeeeeally close before pulling away

I don't think anything is 100% just yet on where it's going. Too many factors at play still. Recon aircraft start monitoring on Sunday.

 

[Barzul]

It will. It's just going to give the east coast blue balls by coming reeeeeeally close before pulling away

Fingers crossed then. Really need this to skip South FL and move out to sea.

 

[Plinko]

That's quite a ways out, though. I wouldn't start freaking out yet.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Yup. Just keep an eye on it.

Glad I moved to the west coast if that model holds true. Well I like it here better anyway regardless lol

 

[Thatonemoor]

I live in South GA. Guess I better stock up?

 

[fluffydelusions]

Too early to say for certain. Just keep an eye on it.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Don't worry, our neighbors will take up arms to this storm.

 

[Thatonemoor]

Don't worry, our neighbors will take up arms to this storm.

Oh shoot dude you live in Waycross? I live in Tifton lol.

 

[teiresias]

FUCK

You really need to look at the posting time when someone says "latest" in this thread. That's not the latest.

Never hurts to store a case of bottled water somewhere
