I find it interesting that Channel 13 (Fox) in Tampa says that the storm surge will be 2'-4' in Tampa. Yet, they don't talk about the strength of the storm. 2'-4' is not much more than a Tropical Storm. I live 40 miles north of Tampa. From looking at the projections, it seems that my house will be in Cat 1 to Cat 2 conditions unless the storm stays out over the Gulf. Am I way off base if the current projections hold?

Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but I am actually contemplating doing that (seemed obvious). This will be my first major storm whilst having an in-ground pool some 15 feet from my back doors, so I assumed it would make sense to backwash some water now to avoid overflow (even though I'm aware the paver-deck has a positive slope and drainage). Am I somehow mistaken?

Personally, I put the pool
Furniture in the garage

But will drain a foot of water out tomorrow.


It's a Floridian thing.

Drain your pool by half, throw your pool furniture to the bottom (with weights if need be) and let it ride out. If we get 6+ feet of rain, would a half full or full pool really matter?

Uh, no.

I've done this for years, it works fine. Cheaper to refill the pool than have a wife whining about wet carpeting in the living room.

Hey stormrrader. Lol... Yeah for this incredible monster cyclone we have to face down here in a couple of days, I am trying find the right words to say about this frightening hurricane. Incredible!! I am starting to wonder are we looking at a potential of seeing Irma get near Patricia's hemispheric pressure record? I think Irma is going to make a serious run at her record.

Always follow NHC, but a slight W shift and Irma's eye technically could miss the Keys to the W and possibly the peninsula. JMHO

nah your on the money with you house. it would have to meander more west for storm surge to be a major-catastrophic issue. The surge in this scenario is wind coming out of the Northeast and back around. The Eyewall should be somewhere over lakeland if this forecast holds up. The doomsday scenario for the bay area is if a storm is coming at it up the coast offshore and the eyewall is off of Palmetto or Clearwater. Remember the wind is counter clockwise

He's talking general Tampa Bay area. North of there (Tarpon Springs/Crystal River) usually get 4-6' during any kind of summer storm or winter one. I would be VERY cautious if I lived in Zone A or B north of the Tampa Bay area.

This storm continues to grow and is exceptionally large compared to Florida. Those saying the east coast has dodged a bullet may have a rude awakening in my opinion:

I think it's pretty unlikely for Irma to miss Florida though...

Said earlier that size making a run at large typhoons, not there, but in the ball park. Intensity, I think about those E Pac monsters that float harmlessly out to sea. Patricia and Linda. Not there yet. But if you put the size and strength together, along with the inertia of the sustained force of this storm, oh my.

you should empty your pool. If its like mine water will rush into your utility room and living room if left alone and your yard isn't even flooding

Just saw pics on national tv, been waiting for them, from the British Virgin Islands. British Virgins caught direct hit. Y'all, incredible. Maybe someone could post them.

Well, if it stays over water and hugs the shore line, then it might keep its intensity all the way up the coast and put the coast in the NE quadrant. Not good for most of us on or near the west coast for sure. Just have to wait and see. I might still drive to St Louis. lol
