I think Levi Cowen in his AM blog said it would turn after clearing Cuba but part is still scraping around I think

The CNN meteorologist just said "IF irma takes the easterly track and hits Fort Myers..." and "IF irma takes the easterly track and hits Sarasota..."

First time I've heard a meteorologist use this terminology with Irma, making me believe she may not hit Florida at all!

General motion so far since arriving at Cuba, almost looked like it wobbled NNW or N last few frames, but we've seen that wobble before.

Cuba is a long island. If that's the case, it will go well into the Gulf, then head north and end up a Cat 5 before slamming into the Florida panhandle or Alabama. There's a lot of warm water between Cuba and the panhandle if it doesn't make a landfall on the west coast of FL.

Interesting from The Weather Channel. Most of Miami drains by gravity. The water goes into the sewer and out into Biscayne Bay but with the very strong East winds blowing in like that and raising Biscayne Bay and pushing water the other way, that will slow down the process of the sewers working. Seeing some flooding in Miami now.

He just said live while standing in flooding the water is 88°F

This is my worry. I'm in Mississippi, and we were devastated from Katrina. Everyone has expected this storm to hit Florida, so no evacuations in any of the Gulf states other than Florida.

yeah, it's not suppose to go there, but it wasn't suppose to hug the west coast of Fla either. If it doesn't head north in a few hours, all bets are off.

Maybe it's my old eyes, but the VERY recent animations seem to show NW or even N motion.

Official power outages as of 8pEST Saturday 9 September 2017 (source: power company) (some of these will be storm related, others will be every day variety mixed in): Note: crews will go and attempt to restore power until winds reach a certain limit, then you wait. The "area" comment after the county listing is just to give people an idea where each county is since most people know city locations better and does not mean those specific cities are without power, just somewhere in that county).
