Rush Limbaugh is saying the storm is being hyped as part of a plot by liberals and Big Water. I'm not sure anyone is listening to Rush Limbaugh anymore.
OK got it, thanks for explaining.
But this doesn't really matter too much due to this storm's size. Unless it ends up tracking along one of the extreme edges of the cone, the core of the storm is going to affect just about the entirety of the Florida peninsula no matter which coast it leans closer to.

If it goes through all of Florida as projected, it should be what, a Category 2 or 3 f it hits there? Probably just rain, but I'm not a hurricane expert
Atlanta is really far inland. Just some heavy rain and probably gusts to 45 mph

If it stays on that path and stays strong it could be the worst storm to hit the US ever
I wish he could be arrested for saying that shit.

About time. I don't know why they didn't do it sooner.
Met a Rush listener while filling up some sandbags today.

I live just north of them. It's all new construction, despite the low-lying area. Tell him to inspect all the culverts and drainage grates in his neighborhood and make sure they're clear and not full of dirt and debris.
Localized flooding is often due to the storm water system being overwhelmed by trash, not a failure in the engineering.
Well damn, 5pm update was not good for Tampa. I am mostly prepped already but was hoping for it to stay on the eastern track.
Tomorrow we will be within 3 day forecast which is historically much more accurate.
Maybe he and Rush will get Alien kidnapped to Mars to run the fucking right wing baby farms on Mars ffs.

Damn that's not good to hear. Haven't seen the recent update yet.
Cuba could help destabilize the eyewall, reducing it to a Cat 3 or even a Cat 2. Could actually be good. Interesting that the NHC is now starting to reflect the EU model though.
No, he was just hanging about nearby. Telling everyone in line that the storm was a hoax.
LOL thanks I needed that
I asked my roommate to go get sandbags since I'm sick and he only lasted 3 hours before giving up and coming home empty handed.

It's so alien to me - we're so lucky that we don't tend to experience extreme weather on our small island.
Really puts it in perspective, when people moan about our grey summer or perpetual drizzle.
Wow.
Surely if she was fired there'd be grounds to sue?

My state of dread just went into overdrive with this 5pm update. In Orlando in a house mostly made of cinderblock and brick and a new roof but I still want to get the fuck out and go to my dads in Nola. My mom offered to pay anything to get us on a flight to Massachusetts to her house but our dog refuses to go into a crate so can't go there and wife refuses to drive to Nola. We have supplies but man, this is going to fucking suck. I'm already expecting 1-2 weeks without power like Charlie.

As of 5 EDT (21 UTC ), Irma has been Cat 5 storm for 66 consecutive hours. Satellite era record for N. Atlantic was 42 hours (Mitch, David).
Jesus.

The last major model(GFS) that was showing a possible east of Miami track is now finally west of Miami.
Miami and now most of Florida are set for a very bad strike.

Signed up. We all need to stick together through this.
Yes, but I am pretty sure that the written confirmation of the agreement would disappear.

GFS track shows major impacts on Orlando, Jacksonville, Savannah, Charleston, and all the way up to Atlanta over the next 100 hours. Euro earlier similar track earlier. This is going to be a wide reaching impact through the lower Southern states.
Uh, what's the second sheet for?

All the model graphics here can be used for general information and possible trends, but it cannot be stated enough that the only actual forecast you should be reacting to is the official one from the National Hurricane Center. They have all this info and far more, and can add subjective touches that computers can't necessarily do. It's the forecast that emergency and government officials use to make orders and design plans. Most major media outlets show a graphically prettier version of the official track, but not all.
Unfortunately, there's little reason to think it won't still be a 5 for at least another 24 hours.
Thanks I'll hit up lowes in the morning. Do sandbags actually provide any peace of mind? Never done it before but I see friends posting about them

My grandparents have a big house and some acreage up in Ocala, so their place is turning into the storm shelter compound for the other family evacuating from further south. They got some elevation, cleared the trees around the house, and are way inland not close to any other water, so hopefully they should be okay
Good idead. Added myself
The FloridaGAF baseball game we'll be having once this is all over!
Probably just the template that was used.
