yall need to stop saying where youre going. loook at irma shift to follow everyone that evacuated

 

[chekhonte]

So presuming that this storm will be devastating to property will hurricane/flood insurance even pay out or will they buckle?

I have no idea how this works and what might be in my mom's future if her home is destroyed.

 

[geomon]

Even in 50mph winds, you don't want to be driving across that bridge. I'm afraid it's already too late for them

You couldn't pay me enough to cross that bridge with wind over 35mph.

I know we are focusing on Florida and Irma but CNN has a atmospheric pressure explanation that made it look like Jose could be forced into New England coast. What is the projections for Jose?

The insurance companies themselves are insured.

No one knows yet. I've heard of it looping but other than that...

That eye is looking healthy again, Cuba merely bruised it.

Is there a map of flood zones for Miami Dade County somewhere?

Latest IR loop

Please evacuate before its too late.

This hurricane is such a monster.

 

[twinturbo2]

$15,000 spent on shutters, a reinforced door and a reinforced garage door on the house is worth it.

What are the winds in the different bands here? Is the 150mph stuff only in the darkest red part?

Oh man is Jose gets here (New England), I'm probably officially running away. Hopefully it's not that big though.

 

[sflufan]

Oh man is Jose gets here (New England), I'm officially staying in doors.

Because of the far colder waters of the North Atlantic, you can be reasonably assured that Jose would be a far weaker storm than Irma should it impact New England.

That's good to here, at least.

After consulting google, it seems the storm will dissipate.

Phew!

Curious choice to only have cameras on the East coast.

 

[Linkura]

MCO should be officially closed down, as of 13 minutes ago.

She was probably on one of the last flights out.

She was, but only because her flight was 3.5 hours late getting there.

I'm in Bradenton (just north of Sarasota). Would it be too late to drive to Eastern Georgia?

Not at all. You may start seeing some tropical force winds as early as tomorrow morning ~8 am.

Is flooding or winds the primary concern?

floods do more damage and kill people

Irma stalking us on GAF?

Well better start hiding messages in email tags now

 

[kinggroin]

Is flooding or winds the primary concern?

Both


Depends how fast she tracks across the state

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Is flooding or winds the primary concern?

flooding. they're expecting 10-15' storm surges in the Keys and the lower west coast of Florida. anywhere near that amount of water puts the keys and western shore under significant amounts of water.

 

[RobotHaus]

Is flooding or winds the primary concern?

Yes.

What causes the turn, and not continue into the Gulf? Water temperature?

 

[breakfuss]

What causes the turn, and not continue into the Gulf?

Haha, this is something I've always wondered as well.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Unfortunately we must issue the following warning ⚠️ DO NOT SHOOT YOUR GUNS AT THE HURRICANE!!!

https://twitter.com/CSGV/status/906512170405507073

Tornado Warning including Key West FL, Big Pine Key FL, Summerland Key FL until 6:45 PM EDT

https://twitter.com/NWStornado/status/906637646637801472

 

[Unknown Soldier]

What if the hurricane grabs the bullets, turns them around, and shoots YOU back?? Then what motherfuckers?!

 

[III-V]

What causes the turn, and not continue into the Gulf? Water temperature?

not an expert by any means but from what I understand the Bermuda high swells and contracts, and the turn is expected to happen when that high pressure system contracts, causing the turn.

 

[aspiegamer]

When NOAA49 wants that data but also must remember to not have a political incident:

Although that is some consideration, they usually don't fly over anything that's not a US territory. It's a military call signal, which could be confusing.

There's also no reason to fly over land. The data collected there is pretty much worthless. That's true of both the high altitude and missions that go through.

So am I wrong in thinking that the people showing up at that Southernmost Point spot in the last hour or so are not getting out of the Keys in time? They think they're going to ride this out, do they?

Only thing they will be riding out is a 20 foot wave back out to the ocean....

 

[Brinbe]

All I know is there will be lots of regret after this one is over. Ppl should have heeded those warnings to gtfo

 

[Mifune]

My mom and stepdad in Naples are hunkering down at home. They have shutters and the house is as ready as it's going to be. I begged with her to go to a shelter but she's not going because they're all full and her part of Naples hasn't been evacuated (they're not super close to the coast).

I just don't even know what to say.

 

[StopMakingSense]

If they left now they would be fine. But conditions are going to be deteriorating as they make that 90 mile drive to the mainland, and only getting worse for each minute they stay on Key West.

 

[III-V]

These are tropical storm force conditions, and while the roads are bad and have some flooded areas, it is still possible to leave. Hurricane force winds will begin early tomorrow for them.

Hopefully they are leaving now, as conditions will only worsen into a nightmare scenario.

That is interesting to read up on, thanks!
