Still a long ways out, but both of the latest GFS and ECMWF Operational models bring #Jose very close to the coastal East in 9-10 days

Probabilities to experience Hurricane force winds are rising over the coastal eastern cities not from #Irma impact, but from #Jose.

Jose at the East Coast... Yeah, that place still missing in this summer's bouquet of all-American natural disasters. Bring it on. Lets see what the Trumplins have to say. And there seem to be actually potent Dems in DC who learned how to play debt ceiling pork. What a great year at this circus!  8)

Thanks for the link.  I appreciate YouTube links.  I don't do twitter and the video links just throw up a 'can't play' error on my computer.  I can see all the other stuff, pictures, hilarious replies to Trump that he never reads, etc.  ;D

That video reminded me of when I was little: Sheerness, February 1953 - big waves!

Sigmetnow: a reminder of last year, on earthquakes and hurricanes.
http://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/index.php/topic,1574.msg94908.html#msg94908

Given how the seismographs get pretty active when a hurricane nears land, I guess there must be a link.  It tends to wake a sleeping tiger when you rattle its cage.

Here is an update on the status of Irma as of 5am EDT on Sunday Sept 10 2017.  The images show: Satellite, Radar, Storm Track & Storm Surge, respectively.  Irma is currently a Cat 4 as it hits the Florida Keys and heads towards Tampa.

For 1st time: looking at 2 consecutive Cat 4 landfalls in USA.  #irma will put the worst hit on Keys since Donna in 1960 on same date 10Sept
https://twitter.com/jimcantore/status/906812793554432000
Radar GIF at the link shows Irma headed north.

Only 6 Cat. 4+ #hurricanes have tracked within 75 mi. of Key West in the historical record. #Irma will be the first since Donna 1960.
https://twitter.com/wxjerdman/status/906813636412309504

Irma's central pressure has fallen to 928mb. Only 6 hurricanes in U.S. history have been more intense at landfall. Last: Katrina (2005).

I've been to Havana and hope they make it through this without too much damage. It's a fabulous island supporting a remarkable culture.

Some people in Florida have already had enough of Irma.

As the gusts increase this afternoon and overnight, please remember that @nbc6 radio partners @WIOD & @Y100MIAMI would simulcast my reports.
https://mobile.twitter.com/JohnMoralesNBC6/status/906527156473356289

@Y100MIAMI stopped simulcasting around 2:00 am. Someone came on the air saying that he was tired of hurricane news and started playing music

Communications out of St. John is still a bit sketchy with no formal phone service.  According to the link the damage from Irma  was devastating.  St. John is 60% National
Park, with about 6000 inhabitants.  There are neither deep-water ports nor airstrips; so, importing raw materials for infrastructure or building is limited. There is an inviting
deep undercurrent of artist and craftsman that largely defines the atmosphere at St. John.

Several years back I spent some time on St. John, mostly moored in Great Lamashur Bay
Where I did some volunteer work at VIERS an environmental resource station located back into the tropical bush and not visible from the Lamashur Bay moorings. VIERS attract students from all over the world to do environmental research. There is nothing visible day or night, from the anchorage, no buildings, roads or lights & there in lies the charm, Without the hoards of tourist or the massive infrastructure of St. Thomas, this place was quiet, peaceful and inviting.  I did carpenter work at VIERS and some set-up
for field experiments, in return I was offered three meals a day and a free mooring.
There is no public transportation to this part of the island, so either you walk or move your boat….I walked and enjoyed the tropical beauty.

Perhaps this coming December I’ll sail down again and help re-build VIERS I’m sure there will be plenty to do.

Looking back to Sept. 7 forecast.  National Hurricane Center did an amazing job at projecting Irma's future track.

This was the furthest east the NHC brought the cone.  The area that hit the Keys and SW FL is still in it.

Harvey & #Irma made US landfall as major hurricanes ~15 days apart.  Record between US major hurricane landfalls is 23 hours set in 1933.

Storm tide (storm surge + tide) in Naples bottoming out ~5-6 ft below typical highest tide. Forecast is 10-15 ft *above* highest tide. #Irma

Here is the Windy forecast for Jose on Tuesday Sept 19 2017.  All it takes is for the forecasted storm track to migrate westward (as happened for Irma) for Jose to effect New York:

“Two dozen tower cranes working on construction sites throughout the city were a concern ahead of Irma. Moving the massive equipment, weighing up to 30,000 pounds, is a slow process that would have taken about two weeks, according to city officials.”

Irma is not a her. Harvey was not a he. They're both its. Hurricanes don't have genders.
