ATL: IRMA - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[UpTheCreek]

Someone was talking about the cemetery a few pages back. Said it was 18' above, not 8'.

Yellowlab,

I can't explain it. I grew up in Key West and for what ever reason the locals never evacuate. I was young when Donna came in and what you see now is what you would have seen then. No different when Betsy came through, locals are just that way.

Anybody know what the highest surge is on record for key west? Is it location and topography that make getting higher than 10 on key west difficult? I did some research and all I can find is 1846 storm that cleaned most of the island and residents fled to Solaris hill, and that says 8 ft. But I think Wilma was 8 feet, and they are saying 5-10 with this one. Not sure what Betsy was. I will say Wilma wouldn't have had as much battering waves as a storm like this. That may surprise residents who flooded in Wilma but may come back to a foundation.

Looks like there is a tornado warning around the general vicinity near my home, anyone have an idea if it's radar indiciated?

[Preemptivestrike]

Is it having interaction with the Northern Cuba coast again?

We evacuated from the Brevard coast to Moutrie, GA and now it looks like it will be worse in Moultrie than it will be in Brevard. How frustrating.

I wouldn't speak so soon. Euro should 94 mph winds here and the storm isn't even close yet so too early to tell about any effects

No storm surge in Moultrie.

You made the right call with the information at hand.

Do understand your frustration. this to shall pass

Peace, friend. Your family is safe, only TS conditions projected for your locale

I've been following Miami met John Morales on Twitter since this was looking like a major impact for Miami.

Can anyone give recommendations of the best Twitter accounts / mets to follow for SW FL - Naples, Ft Myers, Tampa...

Check Paul Delagatto in Tampa. He's done a bang up job. Not sure if he does Twitter.

THANKS!! Found his twitter account

It is not moving wsw, it is the inner eye wall rotating inside the outer eye wall. About to take off in the next 6 hours. I will pray for the Florida Keys that the idiots who stayed behind do not die. Also, praying for you guys in all of Florida. Be safe.

Thanks Tarheel. Hunkering down here in Jax.

Isn't it rare to have a large tornado from a hurricane?

Significant Tornado Potential starting to rotate onto the east coast.
Going to be a long night.

All prepped here in Polk County. We are expecting the worst, boarded up nearly all windows/glass doors. Praying this storm has some mercy on Florida. We have about 6 children under 3 in the house. #prayforus

Cloud tops continue to warm on infrared satellite imagery. Looks like the EWRC + Cuba has really taken a toll on this system. Let's see what Recon shows on this next pass.
