The loop is pretty much known quantity. It's everything after that going to be the tease
00z Euro shifts west again.
Is this indicating wind speeds with the colors?

The green is noise
Lol, cool reference there, maybe photoshop some Spider-Man into it...
No, though, seriously, this one indicates wind, right? I'm evacuated, trying to figure out when to get home and how.

The tornados are crazy down here
The chart says it is wind in knots.

Any reports on Miami or Keywest yet? Was looking at livecams but all looks "ok" given it was coming as a high cat 4, low cat 5. Or are things expected to get worse as it rotates back around?

Just saw in the other thread the Miami Herald is reporting just about everything is flooded/under water.

Jesus, that is scary
This just makes me hope more of these reporting in the lead up to landfall put emphasis on flooding & storm surge over wind. You can hunker down and find shelter from winds, but a storm surge can literally come out of nowhere.

So we lost power at our parent's house, but luckily, our (my brother and I's) house is still on. So now we're refuging back over here.

I miraculously have power, internet, and reception in zip code 33032. The winds have not stopped since 6am

As long as you aren't in the flood zone it's all fine here. It's basically a tropical storm, it's not so bad. Downtown now has rivers for streets, crazy.

Kind of a bad way of looking at this. Surge and flooding is going to be bad even if the winds are not super strong.

The local gas station here in Newnan, GA is out of fuel. I guess between the FL evacuees and the Texas hurricane slowing shipments we are running low. We are also in a flash flood watch and are expected to get tropical storm like conditions tomorrow.

I ended up staying with some relatives in Newnan, GA when SC was still to be a direct hit. Luckily I filled up yesterday. How long is gas usually gone when this happens?

I'm in Northern Kentucky and I'm amazed how many Florida license plates I'm seeing this far North. I'm right next to I-75 but I've seen 12 in my short time out today.

I drove down to Dallas, have seen almost 7 fellow Floridans here.

I will admit that I am not that knowledgable about meteorology and that the pulled phrase sounds hyperbolic, but what is the reality with Jose. I just looked at the last released data and it's a very strong storm not that far behind irma. It looks as if it could take a higher path and go right over Florida. The high pressure system that is lifting Irma up could also draw Jose in?
I believe it is now expected to gradually weaken to a tropical storm in the Atlantic (and probably go away totally without coming near land)

Once you get away from 75 and 85 there is plenty of gas in metro Atlanta. I stay in Smyrna and the gas stations have no lines and plenty of fuel.

Depends on the model.
Euro makes it a fish storm after hovering near the Bahamas for a bit.
GFS is making it the new Long Island Express by Friday, but that's 9 days out and at the same point with Irma, the GFS was sending her to New England and that never materialized.
TarpitCarnivore

9 days out is the key component here. When Irma was 9 days out it was making direct landfall over my house in NJ.
Also worth noting the Euro is only every 12 hours so there are huge jumps in location whereas the GFS is more frequent. This can account for one looking like a fish and one not.
Thank you!

Any updates on José? I know Irma making landfall is the hot topic but the Governor announcement thread became the Hurricane Irma thread and we still have 2 other active cyclones.

FUCK!!!
That is really, really bad news. This will push Jose right towards the US. FUck!
The models I see don't have it making landfall, just buzzing the coast. But this is also still over a week out, so a lot of things are bound to change.
It's 10 days away. It'll likely go out to sea.
To put that forecast in perspective, Irma was supposed to merge with a cold front and slam into NY Harbor as a Category 5 hurricane tomorrow, according to forecasts 12 days ago.
It's suppose to weaken to a mid end cat 1 while meandering close to the Bahamas and then possibly restrengthen after that.

Jose isn't looking so hot right now with all that shear. For now, he's a couple of days out until he gets near land, so there will be plenty of time to watch him.

Who knows. We'll find out in a few days. Can't put your guard down yet

okay guys time to regroup the info. What are we looking at for the next few weeks?
Need to keep a watch on Jose and there is a new storm just starting off of African which if it forms will be Lee, too early to tell what is going on with either. Projections for Jose have it hitting every state on the east coast at one point.
