Did you catch the new shift in the winds?

Trajectory for Irma is now going straight up Florida. Euro Models have the eye going up from Miami and up Central Florida.

Good news, by the time it leaves Florida, it will prob be a Cat 1.

1. Right up the pooper

2. Not good news

There is no path that is good, and it will still be at least a Cat 2 even if it rides the absolute middle of the peninsula. Otherwise, it would be a Cat 3 off the Georgia coast. The route up the spine of Florida would have huge storm surges on east and west coasts of Florida.

Yes, the storm surge would be less in GA, SC, and NC but moving the suffering elsewhere does not make it good news.

3. How is it supposed to be for Orlando?

4. I'm sure Disneyworld will be the first to recover totally.

Might have a problem getting the visitors in, though. All those roads and ancillary services trashed and all.

I've heard somewhere 100+ winds are possible here. I'm looking for the source on that.
