Sorry. I would want to hear from some ugly looking guy who knew his stuff. There used to be weather lore about these guys, Nash Roberts in NOLA, Max Mayfield, Neal Frank, Bob Breck, Bryan Norcross. These guys understood the storms and did not do things like confuse the storm direction. JMO Here is a clip of Nash in 1992 on Andrew. I saw this at the time it was broadcast. | |||

I have a question (as usual). If evacuation orders are in place, where are the Weather Channel reporters staying? Are any hotels open/available? Are they staying in shelters? Sleeping in the news trucks? I'm guessing restaurants and even convenience stores are closed too, making it tough to find food as well. God bless America. | |||

Media are taken care of. Emergency personnel typically watch out for these people. During Katrina, Cantore stayed in the Armed Forces Home in Gulfport. To his surprise he became part of the story when the storm surge was higher than expected. | |||

I heard Jim Cantore was at Germain Arena which is being used to shelter 7,000 or so people and in Estero. Al Rooker and Anderson Cooper were both in Ft Myers. | |||

Some of these people think they are movie stars. I think the term TV Personality comes to mind. They do not miss any meals or live in the field like the rest of us. | |||

Some hopeful news in terms of intensity: WTNT41 KNHC 100258 TCDAT1 Hurricane Irma Discussion Number 44 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL112017 1100 PM EDT Sat Sep 09 2017 Irma's nearly 24-hour traversal of the north coast of Cuba appears to have affected the hurricane's structure and intensity. An earlier NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft and a more recent Air Force reconnaissance flight both measured maximum flight-level winds near 105 kt and surface winds near 95 kt. The planes have reported a double eyewall structure, which has also been observed in WSR-88D Doppler radar data from Miami and Key West. Irma's intensity has been conservatively lowered to 105 kt, and I'd rather wait to lower the winds further until we've seen the full data set from the Air Force mission. Irma has stuttered near the north coast of Cuba for the past few hours, which may be a harbinger of the north-northwestward turn that we've been waiting for. In any event, Irma appears to be moving very slowly toward the northwest, or 305/5 kt, very gradually shifting away from the north coast of Cuba. With the hurricane located near a break in the subtropical ridge, it should turn north-northwestward soon and accelerate near or along the west coast of Florida during the next 36-48 hours. Because of Irma's hesitation to move northwestward, the new track guidance has shifted ever so slightly westward, and the new NHC track is just a little left of the previous one. Although it is likely that the eye will move near or over the Lower Keys Sunday morning, the hurricane's angle of approach to the west coast of Florida makes it very difficult to pinpoint exactly where Irma will cross the Florida Gulf coast. If an eyewall replacement occurs within the next 6-12 hours, Irma has an opportunity to restrengthen a bit while it moves across the Straits of Florida. After that time, however, southwesterly shear is expected to increase to 25-30 kt in about 24 hours and then continue increasing through 48 hours. This shear, in addition to Irma's core interacting with Florida, is likely to cause a weakening trend after 24 hours. The new intensity guidance calls for an adjustment from the previous forecast, although it conservatively lies near the upper bound of the reliable models. Irma is still expected to approach the Florida Keys and Florida west coast as a major hurricane, and combined with its large size, will produce significant storm surge flooding in those areas. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Irma is expected bring life-threatening wind and storm surge to the Florida Keys and southwestern Florida as an extremely dangerous major hurricane tonight through Sunday. Preparations in the Florida Keys and southwest Florida should be complete since tropical-storm- force winds are already affecting portions of the coast. 2. There is an imminent danger of life-threatening storm surge flooding in portions of central and southern Florida, including the Florida Keys, where a Storm Surge Warning is in effect. The threat of catastrophic storm surge flooding is highest along the southwest coast of Florida, where 10 to 15 feet of inundation above ground level is expected. This is a life-threatening situation, and everyone in these areas should immediately follow any evacuation instructions from local officials. 3. Irma will bring life-threatening wind impacts to much of Florida regardless of the exact track of the center. Wind hazards from Irma are also expected to spread northward through much of Georgia and portions of South Carolina and Alabama. 4. Irma is expected to produce very heavy rain and inland flooding. Total rain accumulations of 10 to 20 inches, with isolated amounts of between 20 and 25 inches, are expected over the Florida Keys, the Florida peninsula, and southeast Georgia from Saturday through Monday. Significant river flooding is possible in these areas. Early next week Irma will also bring periods of heavy rain to much of the southeast United States where an average of 2 to 6 inches is forecast, with isolated higher amounts, from North and South Carolina to Tennessee and eastern Alabama. This includes some mountainous areas which are more prone to flash flooding. Residents throughout the southeast states should remain aware of the flood threat and stay tuned to forecasts and warnings.

I've been watching the Ft Myers 2 stream on Youtube and it's horrifying how much that entire area could change with a 10 foot storm surge. Thankfully, they just lowered the wind projection to 120 mph. | |||

They have since corrected the two storm stats thank God! Hurricane force winds stretching out 195mi would be a record! Regards, Will G. | |||

They only have water if the water system operates. This is why I own a three gallon stock pot and a Big Berkey water filter. So long as I have access to water and wood, I have safe water.
