I have been reading, also <lucky me> watching Jason's forecasts.
Question:
St george Island, about what- 170 miles east of Pensacola (?) 70 mi. east of PC so we are getting ready. This is a skinny barrier island; we will most likely be evacuating... but
If does make landfall in the west-panhandle area, what kind of effects would St George Island feel? Would we even have any major/medium effects here?
PS- We reserved a room in Dothan!
Thanks for any replies/thoughts/opinions.

What is everything coming to ,if this is true about the weather forecasters saying come back at 11:00 p.m. there will be a big change in the forecast ,We'll if they need a draw that much to make a false statement like that then --we'll i just dont know!
I'm like most everyone else Jason shoots from the hip!!!
As long as iv'e been on this site ,he's been very straight forward and tell's things based on facts!!

I used to watch SNL, I know someone from their band. I usually watch MAD tv but enough about me. Man keeps on it's NW course not changing. I am concerned about the flood from this storm, it should be called the Flood. The way the models are predicting it, that Ketucky area could get about to 20 inches of rain on that rain filled l and the whole eastern seaboard gets loaded with rain.

the trof is still impacting it, and that may also be why the pressure rose a bit, even though fluctuations are to be expected.

Unless there is divine intervention, that was the last land near-miss for ...

Get your boat up in a canal or bayou somewhere. Yes, it's a large boat but if you can get it tied off on four corners you might have a chance at getting it to ride out the storm. We used to do this in the area I lived in. As long as everyone tied their boats securely; all were OK. I agree, get it out of the marina - you can't trust everyone to secure theirs and that will destroy yours.
God speed, my friend.

Maybe large storms like to avoid land because the frictional effects are stronger? your thoughts.

I notice the recon planes are still reporting lighting in the eyewall. This morning's discussion noted that lightening and hail have been reported and that this is unusual in a hurricane of this size. Can you explain why that is? Is it more common in smaller storms ?

Take an image of and super-impose it, centered, over the GOM.
WOW!  That's BIG!
I quit watching loops yesterday when one did a little dance like a cat food "chow-chow-chow" commercial.
I thought I was losing it!
(glad someone else seen that too)

Ok.....I just spent some time looking at all the past advisories. I was curious to see how far off the has been on their five day forecast. I began with the first advisory on September 2. The initial 5 day forecast location predicted to be at 14.0N, 60.0W at 2pm on Sept 7. I then compared that to the actual place was on 9/7 at 2pm (11.9N, 61.2W). I did this for each succeeding day, comparing the 2pm forecast and actual locations. I drew up a map comparing the actual path of to the five-day forecast plots. The attachment link above is my crude hand-drawn map....but you still get the idea. The red line is 's actual track. The black line is the interconnected 5-day forecast plots. As we already knew, the 5 day forecast has been skewed way north of where actually tracked (sometimes over 200 miles off). Initially, the hurricane was moving faster than projected....but in the past 3 days, the projection has outpaced . The intensity forecast was awful as well. The hurricane center vastly underestimated the strength of from the start. Each five day forecast was off by a minimum of 20 knots and as much as 65 knots underestimated.
So, while I whole-heartedly agree that the guys and gals at the do an outstanding job, they have been truly at a loss when it came to predicting 's course or intensity.

Is it just me, or does it look like there are two overlapping eyes? I don't see it on other satellites, but it looks pretty strange on this view.
