It's not 50 inches by any means but it has it tracking up through middle Florida into Georgia and onward. Almost all of that dark red is 15-30 inches of rain on prediction currently.
That would be a disaster well beyond the hurricane impact.

I think you should sit on your fence and see how bad it feels before making a decision. Maybe Tuco can help you out. You can be fence buddies.

The problem is that we get rather lucky over and over and over in these things. They weaken, they wobble, they hit empty spaces. We haven't had a full on cat 5 hit just south of a massive city in awhile. You get that hitting 40 miles under say Miami with 2 days warning and you'll quickly be reminded why they stress these warnings so hard.

I will always think it's hilarious how everyone acts like any time a big hurricane hits Florida it's no big deal or people are stupid and got what they deserve for said stupidity/etc. but one every 15 years hits somewhere else and everyone freaks out about how much of a tragedy it is and how it's never been seen before and nobody could know what might happen and oh god please help us.

edko Did you ever get some new shoes for your ride?
Also you may need to move it up to Thursday if they close down on 35mph+
Just be prepared to flee if it keeps up this track.

Thoughts and prayers!
Seriously though, hope Irma makes a hard right before it gets to Florida, be safe.

Latest track shows it sort of doing that except it takes a hard right before the keys slams Miami then back along the coast and nails Georgia. Another shows it being shredded by Cuba and another shows it trying to bring back country line dancing in the Gulf. These should be getting aligned better in the next 24 hours but last night they were mostly in agreement and now it is all over the place again. Much uncertainty Irma has. Definitely named after a woman.
Going to let that sort itself out and them to update all the models since it is now a cat 5 with 175 mph sustained winds. Pretty much it is going to do what Irma wants to do with that power. That 929mb though. Damn.
