"Cone of Uncertainty" would make a great name for a punk band. I'll keep you guys in my prayers, but sure don't want it tracking north either.

Man, this is lining up to he some bad joujou no matter how you look at it. This thing could very easily nail Florida and roll right up the whole east coast. Shit.

Sometimes one must fight back against overreaching cone definition and enforcement.

We are a nation of laws. Cone integrity is important and violaters should be prosecuted.

Looks like another Hurricane Andrew...Dam!

There is a very real chance that the Florida house will not make it through this one.
I'm suppose to be in DC the week after this thing hits, depending on where and what it does I might have to cancel that trip....

Damn, I hope not Larke. Salt Water Cowboy just got rebuilt, too.

There's some good info here if you're a weather junky. It really does remind me eerily of Andrew and that's not a good thing.

Holy Shit!

i was in Jamaica when a CAT5 hit decades ago. I think those winds were 130-150 and that's something I wouldn't wish on anyone.

I'm afraid that before this thing is over and done with, we are gonna wish we had back that $150 billion Oduma sent to Iran. ;)

Irma is at 185mph sustained right now. And, I already wanted that $150b back.

Ah yea, no the St. Augustine house will be gone. Crap! I'm too old to rebuild.
Anyone want to buy a beach house in the oldest city in the US between now and Saturday?

Dang, Larke, Jim Cantore just drew a line on his screen, where they are predicting this monster is headed.....his line went dead center of St. Auggie.....man, I hope your's and Thump's homes survive this thing.
This thing is strong and massive, just like Katrina, with a mind of it's own, and personally, I think it's gonna rake across south Fla. and the Keys.....then, like a crazed bull, it's gonna sniff out that warm open water, and charge into the Gulf......then, everyone along the Gulf from Mexico to Alabama better start praying......jmho.

We just got done remodeling from the last one. This one has the potential to take it totally out.

The whole east coast just had a massive high pressure roll through yesterday. I'd be shocked if Irma could get around to the other side of it. If anything, it would steer it up the coast (like they seem to be predicting) or further out to sea which would be best case.

Starting to think you may be right, BM. Sure looks like it's wobbling west a bit.
