Hurricane Irma vs. Florida
#71
Either way this is not going to be good - eerily similar to path and dates of Donna which hit Marathon Sept 10, 1960 - then up thru Naples and Ft. Myers. My boat (48 SeaRay) is in the water in Ft. Myers Beach, "hurricane safe harbor" with floating concrete docks, but doubt it can handle a 10-12 ft storm surge. Good luck to all.

not to jinx the situation, (i'm down here too) but wake up and get some better news
down graded to 4 wind 155
similar path as last nites 2300 path.
class 2 by time it reaches orlando
while we're still gonna get hit and damage could occur this isn't the end of the world stuff we've been hearing.

Keep in mind if the storm was 2 mph stronger (157 mph) then it would be back to a Cat 5.

Moving into warmer water (ie: hurricane fuel) as we speak. 3* warmer water actually. From 86 and now entering 89*F surface temps !
If it could bump into Cuba it would help decrease some energy. We'll see.
Hope the recent the recent 'downgrade' as Jupiter mentioned..just 2mph difference...doesn't make people complacent. Don't forget it is based off sustained winds...does not acc't for gusts !
Good luck everyone !
