WVU Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Is gas hard to get there to as well as water?Yes gas is scarce and long lines for water and impossibly long lines for any kind of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeman Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Where you at WVU? i've heard that no one who isn't near the shore should evacuate, they should simply go to a secure bldg.I still think it misses the coast by 50-75 miles but hits SC probably at perhaps a cat 3.

FISHHEAD Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Its pretty cool being directly underneath the eye of a hurricane, this happened in Tampa early 2000's when there, forget which hurricane.............when the eye is directly overhead, there is a complete stillness in the air.

mikeman Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 The surges are what to be concerned with...........the eye of the storm doesn't have to hit the coast directly.The greatest storm surge would only come with a landing(direct hit), if it misses the coast by more than say 30 miles, there would be far less surge, mainly a still devastating erosive surf. it appears to me it is going slightly further north than expected, if it continues it will make the turn north sooner, possibly missing fla entirely, with the greatest chance being the area north of miami where the coast bows out.

mikeman Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Each day the cones have shifted east, 2 or 3 days ago the fl keys were still a probability, now they're pretty much eliminated, as of now the best est is a hit on the coast just north of Miami(which would be really bad), MY professional guess is a very modest shift of perhaps 40-60 miles east, missing the easternmost coast of Fla by 35 miles or so, but the rest of fla by far more, keep in mind it will be speeding up when it turns, by late tonight we should know more.

yisman Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 thanks for checking in. i was going to look at the National Weather Service but figured I would just check with WVU and Merlin; our two resident meteorologists This. Can't be exposed to the fake news the weather service is throwing at us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trytrytry Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 it will miss the FLA coast by 33 miles avoiding the worst of the worst. still some problems but not a land hit of the eye in Florida. s carolina low half of coastal part of state will get a weaker cat strong 1 or weak 2 landfall hit however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timely Hitting Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 these guys are great. shocked neither even have a meteorology degree; no point in getting one... just ask Merlin and WVU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
