ATL: IRMA - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[MGC]

Wild ride right now in the USVI I'd imagine. BVI have a chance to regroup while in the eye. Looks like the outer eyewall is coming close to PR now. Cycloneye hold on to your hat and stay safe.....MGC

Wikipedia suggests there are two Buck Islands in the area. One near St. Thomas and one near St. Croix. Not clear which one is being referenced

[ronyan]

Officially 24 hours @ 185 mph.

[NDG]

Right when the shed was getting torn apart.

[GCANE]

Shed getting shredded.

[AutoPenalti]

Exterior of shed looks completely destroyed.

Most likely St Thomas, St Croix is further south and they are not in the inner eyewall.

Getting CLOBERRED IN St. Thomas NOW!

Prayers for you all there.

I just spoke to my uncle in PR on FB, he is on the SE side of PR in Salinas. This is also were my dad is, my dad's street always floods. He said the wind is picking up and the streets are already starting to flood.

Sweet pea, prayers up for all there.

[O Town]

Shed about to get ripped off its foundation.

She seems so calm. Noticed that about a lot of the live feeds. Those island people are way more chill than us.

Actually if you view the line plot on the NHC website the storm landfalls in Miami-Ft Laud area. Pretty much a direct hit.

looks more west this run e

[Raebie]

South Carolina governor declares state of emergency.

Thanks for sharing! Poor shed Just think of the damage Irma would cause to a non-secured mobile home and surroundings...

[NDG]

Just as I thought the 12z Euro shifted a little to the west.

[Sanibel]

Bailey's General Store on Sanibel Island has propane...I just tanked up...


The people there are old Floridians and the older man who filled my tank told me "most of us are staying"...

[Hurrilurker]

Irma already ingesting dry air from the flow over Puerto Rico, I would expect the pressure to keep rising. Next, Hispaniola will certainly have a negative effect, even without direct contact.

[Hurrilurker]

Don't these guys know that you always buy BLUE sheds and only blue sheds!?

[sweetpea]

Just got a text from my dad in Aguirre, PR (Southeast side of island). He said the are getting alot of rain but not too much wind yet. He does still have power.

Puerto Rico is just too small of an island to make an impact. In fact latest recon indicates pressure is dropping rapidly, down to 913mb extrap.
