Just pulling up and IR shot and man it's incredible to have such a large cane right of the SFL coastline how lucky we are to have dodged yet another bullet. My prayers go out to everyone in this path of this storm.

Florida is extremely lucky!!!!!! Plenty of season left, but they escaped an absolute monster!

More than anything, the lucky place has been Miami. 2004 was hell for Fla and 2005's Wilma clobbered Broward and pts north....the Magic City continues a 19 year Major cane luck streak.

BTW "happy" anniversary Andrew!

GC do you have a high interest/ expertise in atmospheric thermodynamics (just curious based on the general theme of your posts)?

Yes Meteorcane, its an interest for many years.

Enjoy tracking hurricanes and severe weather.

How about yourself?

You know, it's an odd feeling to be so complacent and sure Irene will miss SFL when it's only a few hundred miles away. Weird to think that 150+ miles separates a nice evening w/ some wind from a catastrophy.

Speaking of Andrew, Bryan Norcross on his Facebook page posted the following:

"Here's the bottom line. It could change... forecasts are not perfect. But I have NEVER seen ALL of the best computer models consistently show this level of threat... a big powerful hurricane raking the entire coast and moving into New England... in my time looking at hurricanes. In my opinion, this risk require immediate action because the crush will likely begin tomorrow. If you prepare yourself and it doesn't come... have a party."

Sorry if this has been posted.

Co=Sign that.

Irene's current look is reminding a bit of Fran when reached peak intensity.

[wx247]

Just wanted to say that I am watching the situation unfold from my nice far from the coast home in SW MO and am sending out prayers to all of those in harm's way. I hope everyone heeds the advice of the emergency officials.

2:32 frame...not due west anymore but still wnw for the past half hour

Entering my sophomore majoring in meteorology/math and am taking atmospheric thermo this coming semester already been exposed to some basic thermo in physics. I find it pretty interesting and enjoy your posts hopefully and hopefully can learn a good more about it this coming semester..

I have been in the eyes of several hurricanes with Jim. Georges and Fran come to mind right now. I have a short video of a stand-up we did during Hurricane Dennis in Wrightsville Beach in 1999. It is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TriaDbNDsmw

[cpdaman]

regarding the motion and timing it actually looks (even with wobbles ..so far) that it should pass right about over the 600z forecast point .....but the next point ...a la noonish tommorrow will depend on a more Nw/NNW motion ensuing starting in the wee hours ...that point i think we will miss to the west.

And that's why Bryan Norcross is the best TV forecaster out there. He lays it out quite simply and easy to understand. I remember him during Andrew he kept all of south florida calm when all hell was breaking loose outside.

What an amazing picture. The shear size of Irene is mind boggling.
