OT: Irma track

[LionJim]

Okay, it seems as if Irma is going to go right up the middle of Florida and then on to Atlanta.

I know enough about these things to know that there's going to be a lot less rain than what we saw with Harvey, but how much less? I imagine the storm surge will be bad around the Keys and Miami but once it goes past, say, Orlando, what kind of precipitation can we expect to see?

The latest track I've seen has Irma's line up through Florida moving more to the west, so that it'll pass over Tampa.

I looked up Andrew's track: it was SE to NW and just clipped the Florida peninsula and still caused tremendous damage. This one is going to be bad.

Irma Weather Almost identical To

"The Labor Day Hurricane"

September 8, 2017
by tonyheller

I pointed this out a few days ago.

The current weather in the US

is almost identical to

the weather on September 5, 1935

when America’s most intense hurricane hit Florida.

Ryan Maue -

The atmosphere must know something about hurricane Irma --->

Record lows from Houston, Texas and into Atlanta, Georgia Thursday morning.​

Similar conditions to September 5, 1935
when America's most intense hurricane hit Florida.
