towards the end he spoke of how strong the wind felt and that the hurricane hadn't even started yet....you could see the realisation on his face of what was to come and it wasn't good :(:(

Yes I expect he must have heard the fate of Barbuda and St Martin, it's not looking good for T&C either. He did say they have a Cat 5 hurricane shelter on the island so I hope it holds out!

I'd being interested to see how long Astro Potente can keep his live feed up and running, how many hours until the eye is over the turks? 7? 

Looks bad enough as it is!

Just heard on the BBC weather the eye is expected there around midnight our time.

903mb would make it into the top ten most intense by central pressure ?

It would 

here are the last there gfs runs. 

Concentrate on Okeechobee, the big lake, and you can see that the winds increase on each run. The purple appears on the 12z just now. 

Gfs is Bringing the winds west into Florida on each run. IMG_1209.thumb.PNG.eebbda18c367260f920f5f74fb3de69a.PNG

The hurricane currently looking like a direct hit on Miami Dade county with a population of nearly three million. 

Its not difficult to say there will be massive property damage.

Loss of life will be determined by the amount of citizens too daft to leave or too poor to leave.

The 12z UKMO still brings Irma over Cuba and weakens her as a result.

I thought we were done with this scenario but UKMO is persistent.

I think a wet suit & arm bands would be better than a coat, anyway I'm surprise Tomasz can get a flight ?

I am surprised the BBC can afford to send a weatherman to Florida to do a forecast he can do from London. 

Perhaps we are just presuming he is doing the forecasting work, perhaps general reporting? Perhaps going to help at shelter etc?

Good God, it just gets worse.  How long will Irma keep up this level of destruction?  Am struggling to comprehend all the updates and the lack of her deterioration.

Or those that are undocumented that fear arrest and deportation by Trumps police force aka ICE 

Ieven saw a quote from the Polk County Sherrif saying that all was welcome at the shelter and if you have a warrant for your arrest you'll be going straight to Jail

They seem adamant that Irma is going to weaken down to a cat 4. With waters touching nearly 32c, that is a very conservative shout in my opinion.. I hope everyone does the right thing and evacuate this one. It isn't looking good now :(

Its amazing the difference between the 0z and 12z UKMO runs. 0z which follows a very similar path was resulting in a cat 4 / 5 hurricane hitting south western Florida, while 12z shows it being a cat 2 - difference being it goes 10-20 miles further inland on the 12z of Cuba and instead of keeping its intensity it rapidly loses power.

I think the reasoning mentioned in the discussion behind the weakening was vertical shear. However they did strike a note of caution that this may not happen if the timing wasn't right

Not seen the track myself but possibly interaction with the mountains of Cuba?

No, its the other end of Cuba. The difference is that the 12z it goes on the spine of Cuba so the center is fully overland, while on the 0z it was on the northern edge so part of it was still over water and able to get power. It shows though that the 12z is very unlikely to verify as does require exact placement to get that lucky.

Just for reference, the east Florida coast has two nuclear plants right on it. Turkey Point and St Lucie. 

I know they're built to last....but that can't be good can it.

I see that Turkey Point already has form ....http://allthingsnuclear.org/dlochbaum/fission-stories-48-hurricane-andrew-vs-turkey-point

Latest GFS run has the eye of Irma literally just off the Floridian coast. This means very little because damaging winds will still affect areas as far inland as Okeechobee. Wouldn't take the GFS to be wrong by much for the eye to landfall.
