Yeah I believe that expired. No word yet if it touched down.
There will.be several quick spin up twisters the next 24 hours or so with this landfalling cyclone

I would say 100% chance strengthening is over and weakening has commenced looks like a Cat.2 based on latest recon

Exactly. A large hurricane is dangerous because they produce higher storm surge.
Again, I acknowledged Irma is a very dangerous hurricane, my point is she would be much more dangerous if she hadn't hit Cuba.

Very odd to me, it sounds like we are getting worse conditions here than they are in Orlando at this point in time, from the reports I've seen here.

Sure the water will come back around and be higher than where it started but I have trouble seeing the epic surge for points north verifying. Which is a good thing. Only time will tell. If you look at donna there was also surge in Naples and Marco but I can't find reports of epic surge north of there. I should say tho, it doesn't take huge surge to do damage in many of these areas as they have not really been built up to mitigate it. Much of the peninsula below the big bend just really takes a perfect storm to create humongous surge because of coastal topography and the typical angle of approach. Back home in Mississippi and really across the northern gulf , the big surges are never preceded by water pushing out. It just comes in, and then in some more and then in some more and then boom it comes in all at once.
