Hurricane Irma

[crimsone]

They're under the eye of a hurricane and still streaming.

What the actual?

[chillyblast]

Yup and its roaring through there the wind currently.

 

Crazy.

So possibly skimming another coast? Raking all the way up West Florida but not truly making landfall? Irma is certainly turning out to be an interesting storm! 

Finding I am having to quickly relearn quite a bit I learnt some years ago and find the links to the data and info again too! lol

Still a category 4 so we should soon see if the weakening happens.

I know the feeling!

Plus, a few new sources.

Also... This one's handy for recon... (and if you come back out to the main site, it has a live archive of all recon data in decoded form... yet I still find the need  to look at the raw VDMs)

These mad SoBs are showing the world what it's like in Key West as a matter of record...

For anyone at home CNN seem to be showing continual coverage of Irma-between the breaks that is-.Reporters from various locations around Florida.

[crimsone]

I wonder how this guy's doing...

Looks crazy on Rod DePhillips stream on FB live.

[Barking_Mad]

Pretty gusty here on this camera. Footage from top of the building in the centre of here

[chillyblast]

Off topic a little but can you imagine listening to that wind for hours on end, just listen:

I've been seeing links to windspeed sensors giving 80mph-110mph. Pretty terrible but not the 175mph that the Caribbean islands had to deal with. Maybe the strongest winds haven't quite got there.

[chillyblast]

Jeff was saying earlier the 140-160+ winds were at 2000 feet and not at surface level.

Looks like slightly more than a light breeze

[crimsone]

Worth mentioning that Key West would be on the western edge of the eye, if in the eyewall proper at all.

[Polar Maritime]

Surge now in Key West.

Tidal surge and flooding

Ive been watching the build up, love the way they keep on saying "this is the least of the worst" and the weather reporter ( red dress lady) stating the eye as had a little wobble and looks like going slightly more east now.
