    Yes, but if continues the trajectory of moving east it may end up hitting landfall by west palm and we will be on the softer side of the wall. This looks better than the model I saw earlier where it made landfall at the upper keys. Looking better. thanks for the update keep you posted.

    Puerto Rico just got a Hail Mary with the eye moving slightly NE of them. Thank God.

    Path little altered from yesterday, though Irma just picked up some speed (17mph now) which can mean it will make the turn a bit more to the west. That isn't the best news for SFL and Miami.

    Track still shows skirting past Miami and heading up along the coast from there towards GA and SC.

    WUG says storm surge in Miami should be 7 to 9 feet, which isn't that bad considering the strength of the storm and the fact it is slated to hit during high tide.

    This supposedly has to do with deep water in the area that allows for the pushing of water down in the surge rather than out.

    No, I'm not a meteorologist. But I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night (and will be again if I have to evacuate Tampa).

    One tracker I saw this morning had it still having 120 mph winds when it passed over Orlando.

    Screw up the whole state.
