[Hurricane Andrew]

The Islands took the worst part of the eyewall it seems.

Do I see a double eyewall forming?

Not good. Images of the damage are going to be startling.

Seems to be

Think its just the eyewall expanding and deepening, may be wrong though

I have a hotel in Moultrie, GA. Do we think that will be far enough out of the path? I can find anything that is just a little further ... I will have to go really far to find anything else.

Far enough to live through it without too much inconvenience? Yes, barring a car accident getting there or a stray tornado or that kind of thing. You might lose power if a tree falls nearby, but at a hotel they may have a generator anyway.

Similarly, the Bahamian government has evacuated most of the inhabitants of the southern Bahamas (most importantly, Inagua) to Nassau.

well radar is definitely showing a 3/4 outer eyewall already. lets see if it closes off.

Yup, why is she going through so many EWRC?

So... the squashed appearance on the western side is starting to go away and the storm is starting to look frightfully symmetrical again. I can hardly fathom it looking more intense than it does, but it's been full of surprises so far.

Symmetry is back...best its looked since this time yesterday.

[dukeblue219]

Looks like the pressure is continuing to fall based on the live recon data. SFMR registered 151kt unflagged in the SE quadrant....

You'll see some bad weather but you should be safe there!

[brghteys1216]

Lots of lightning in the inner core of Irma.

[KBBOCA]

Irma's eye now over Spanish Town, British Virgin Islands.

It's almost as if Irma were willfully trying to take a path through the Northern Leewards / Virgin Islands to hit the most islands. A few miles to the north and she could have missed a direct hit on any, but Barbuda, St. Barts, St. Maarten, Anguilla, Virgin Gorda... all very much direct hits. Terrible.

[gfsperpendicular]

As Hurricane Irma barrels toward Florida, many people are rushing to get out of the state before it hits. But as that demand increases, travelers are complaining that ticket prices are skyrocketing.

https://consumerist.com/2017/09/06/airf ... cane-irma/

Even for a Cat 5 hurricane companies can't resist preying off of demand?

[bob rulz]

Even if an EWRC is starting, there's no reason to think it won't just do what previous ones have done with this storm - that is, finish so quickly it doesn't affect the intensity. There's still so much we don't know about EWRC. Perhaps in a storm where the structure and conditions are this good, they complete "perfect" EWRCs, as there is nothing structurally wrong with it to stop it from completing quickly?

[caneseddy]

Wow!!!!
