High rise buildings likely experiencing wind gusts close to 100 mph. Stay away from windows! #Irma

Now enough light for visible sat, zoom to the eye, (-) for zoom out, into edges for pan

Sustained winds of 52 MPH gusting to 64 MPH at a station in St. Lucie County

Mentioned on WPEC CBS 12, unsure of which one

[KBBOCA]

And to clarify re: radio in Miami,

It's not that the am / fm stations are offline. THEY ARE PLAYING MUSIC INSTEAD. As confirmed by met John Morales.

No. They just decided to play music instead.

Wow. And this is with Miami "dodging" the storm according to some...

[gatorcane]

Looks to have slowed down and possible a NE wobble looking at radar. Slow north movement

[KBBOCA]

Conditions in Kendall:

Gusting to 70 MPH. Will get worse


Also per John Morales a few minutes ago: 100 MPH gusts likely now for Miami high-rise buildings.

I've yet to see one report of a sustained hurricane force wind. Not even in key West close to western eyewall. Something may be inhibiting these winds from reaching surface. We aren't even inland or dealing with land friction or weakening which should reduce winds further to the north. The high inland wind warnings may not verify.

What's her recent recon winds at? I see she is at 130 on nhc

Pretty close, the highest uncontaiminated SFMR I saw was 125.

8 am. #IRMA's center (purple) is trending E of the official forecast track (yellow). This has implications Re: landfall point later today.

Stop these kinds of posts until the event is over.

We might get a GFS win out of this storm yet!

Saw this with another Cat 4 approaching FL

Here is a Google + GIS map that will always show the latest NOAA storm surge forecast. Red = 9+ feet! Click “Map Tips” to see the legend.

That's a very scary picture. When the water goes out like that, they warn people a tsunami is coming and to run for your life.

In this case the water won't come back until the eye has passed to the North, but yes extremely scary

I'll let you know after the storm is over.
When I get power back in 7-10 days at the earliest.
We're projected for sustained 110+ with gusts 130-143 mph.

But hey, what do I know, I live in the bullseye.

I was close to write the same, looks like it slowed down when it was hitting the keys

Thanks for posting that. I thought the radar was playing tricks on my eyes. This is a little better, not even close to great for my area, bad for everyone to the east who sounded the all clear.

Officially 70 mph wind gusts at the airport where the anemometer is actually on the western side of the airport even further inland, so I wouldn't doubt that the coastal areas are receiving hurricane force wind gusts easily.

Dewpoint: 24.4°C (76°F) [RH = 90%]
Pressure (altimeter): 29.39 inches Hg (995.3 mb)

news footage from Key Largo showing the said powerful winds and gusts despite being outside the eyewall, same thing for Miami Beach
