Good point, west coast will still feel the effects, but not enough to be truly dangerous. Maybe strong tropical strom force winds?
For sure.
I am sure Floridians and its Palm trees and structures can withstand a nice strong breeze of even 70mph. Looks like we got agreement on the track going to the east side of FL so just drive across to the west side!.
What sucks is people might not be able to get to their homes in Miami and vicinity for days. Whether its flooded or trees or damage blocking the roads.
Also.. nobody asking why this thing will be curving back inland into Georgia/ SC/ Tennessee?
Just like with Sandy, there is a piece of energy coming down right now that will grab Irma and pull her in. This is what models had a problem with days ago. This energy's Strength, speed, and position not known until we got closer!

Our local weather guy Brad Panovich did a blog at 11am and he mentioned the curve into Georgia. He said it's rare but that the curve could happen into GA and up through TN.

Brad P. (Charlotte area) is a VERY good weather resource.

Nice! I haven't been on twitter much and I'm sure it's being brought up. Thanks for letting me know. Brad is cool, I've been following him for couple yrs.
And yeah, isn't too common but how many times do we have this type of timing with a hurricane hitting the U.S and the piece of energy coming in? I think it's more common with winter storms though. Not a lot of course.

It's people who are concerned or scared leaving on West coast or who don't want to wait to see when it turns North...one small jog a little further West and impacts to West coast go up and you don't want to be flying out the door with everyone else who waited until the last minute to see when it actually turns to leave...everyone would be caught out in traffic. Also people who don't want to be in the weaker Tropical Storm force winds that after hours and hours of wear and tear starts to bring down trees and create scattered power outages that take days to turn back on. And with a storm coming from S to N direction resources will be strained/stretched and spread out across an entire state potentially so slow supply chains to get things back to normal. Some opt to head out instead of dealing with that and more.
We actually own the property so there's no issue with repercussions, all it would require to cancel would be a courtesy call to let the resort know that we're not coming. I guess I'm just more concerned with missing out on a vacation when there's a chance that MB may not get hit much at all. We'll probably have to wait another day before we leave to see if we should even bother. Obviously if this was somewhere in Florida we would have cancelled the trip by now, but MB is still up.in the air.
You said you had the place rented out which is why you couldn't use it in the future -that's what I'm talking about. Cancelling their bookings so you can go instead.
Let the resort know? What is this a timeshare?
I'm sorry it's hard to care about you missing a vacation when most of us are spending several hundred dollars if not thousands trying to get out of our own homes and evacuate.

115pm: Worst of Irma's winds and deadly storm surge headed right for Turks & Caicos Islands just before SE Bahamas. Expecting a 15 to 20ft storm surge with large waves on top.
