Hurricane Irma: now a tropical storm, moving into Georgia today

[Y2Dre]

I just want to know what makes em think it will curve up???

Anyone has explanations, serious no trolling... like why not have a prediction of it going straight to the gulf???

The meteorologist I saw said there's a high chance that it goes over the gulf, and if the eye does, then Florida is totally fukked.

not a science guy but my understanding is it's not just warm water like ppl think, the bigger a storm gets or one this size, the more it's affected by atmospheric pressure

You focus on the eye because that's where the devastation occurs. Everything else is practically an extended thunderstorm.

Houston never saw the eye. All the destruction in Houston was caused by the bands.

I'm saying like why not go straight in the path it's taking heading towards Texas?

Is it because the gulf got winds that pushes it east?? I'm just trying to get some basic knowledge.

Dope.

You are correct but need to know where the eye is to know where the eye walls are.

It's just easier to worry about the whole thing. It's so big that no matter where you are, if it hits you for an extended period of time you risk flooding. It is NOT just another thunderstorm. That's what people who've never experienced one always think. Until they realize rain is coming at them from a 180 degree angle and the streets are completely unusable and flooded within minutes and power is out for 2 weeks

Flooding did them in. Flooding from their civil engineering.

This isn't true brehs. The eyewall is were you'll find the strongest wind fields and sustained hurricane force winds but in a hurricane you have to worry about more than just winds. Plus this storm is so large that hurricane gust will extend out to probably the entire state of Florida.

East side of the eye has the strongest storms, drops more rain and where tornadoes are prone to touch down.

The worst thing for the entire state is for Irma's eye to keep off the coastline to the West where it keeps it's strength while giving Florida it's entire dirty side as it makes its way N.

Right the best thing for it and GA would for it to go straight down the middle. Staying off the coast allows it to stay strong up into the panhandle.

They got 50" of rain from the bands. Stop it.

They got 50" of rain. Stop it.

Was the water able to be soaked into an aquifer underneath their surface?

 

[FSP]

It's so crazy too, how the weather just before and after a hurricane is the best you'll ever witness. In Tally, clear skies, nice breeze, comfortable temperature. It's almost like a joke

50 inches of rain plus tornadoes would fukk any city up.

I really wish y'all would stop that shyt.
