Live radar of Irma - watch it regain its form as it pulls off the Cuba shore - and storm surge blog

The loop shows how being over a bit of land degraded its structure, but it is now about to enter very warm water.

Anyone in the path of the storm - be safe, pay heed!

And I just found this interesting storm surge blog on Weather Underground - posted this AM

I see that it's very current, the last time reported is 18:30 GMT, which is about 2:30 PM Eastern time, only about fifteen minutes ago as I write this.

I also see that the eye is staying very close to the Cuban coast, I wonder how long that's going to last. It's not impossible for this to veer out into the Gulf of Mexico and, feeding on the warm waters and distance, become an even stronger storm that would hit Alabama and/or Mississippi head on.
