That north band is just south of Ft Myers
Rain will move up coast and winds will,strengthen
People moving to,shelters should go now IMO because some close at dark and it takes time to,get in.
I'm starting to think that Irma isn't going to move north at all, or won't move north until further west. Maybe the FL peninsula could avoid a landfall entirely.
Echoing your words
You two are the BEST CD "experts" of the various forums I have samples since joining CD
And you have kept any political asides,or character disputes to a minimum so few distractions.
Your patience and your willingness to teach is very much appreciated.
While I hopefully won't be glued to this forum 24/7 like I have been I will certainly be stopping by...
So grateful that the politics have not surfaced yet in all this, gives me a bit of hope, that we can still pull together when tragedy strikes. And thanks again for the great posts. I am here in Delrsy Beach, and these posts have been my go to all week, cant thank you enough.
Infrared Rainbow with Lat/Lon on. Definitely moving WNW but I think it will be moving NNW tonight. This is about like 100 miles from missing Florida. 100 more miles WNW and I think would miss even with a north turn
Official power outages as of 6pEST 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). (Up)(down) comments signify number of outages went up/down from 1hr ago.

i agree. did they ever have an estimate when it was supposed to turn north? just looking at it if it does turn north couldnt it hit mobile?
So much uncertainty even with the storm already impacting Florida. Yesterday it looked like a disaster for Miami and points along the east coast. While they're (east coast) not going to be completely spared, it's looking more troubling for the Gulf side.

Within next 6 hours we should "start" to see it. Was supposed to be around western Keys longitude. About 81.5N?
