[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 336291, member: 322"] I still give Irma a 30% chance of not making landfall. Once really cool chart Weather Underground has is "Historical" which shows all 11 hurricanes since 1851 that are about where Irma started. Only 0ne made landfall in the US. I kind of knew that since I follow these things. But this time looks different ...... if she keeps her speed up she'll get pushed offshore. But if there is nothing to stop her progress, she'll ram into the US and Tenn may get some rain. I kind of doubt it though. The west side of hurricanes is usually fairly dry and it's the north east quadrant which has the heavy rain. Oh yeah, hurricanes are bigger and badder than they used to be (on average) since the water and air temps are higher. I've said that before but it's really important since the strength goes up more than linearly with the increase in temperature. People can argue over minutiae but that is indisputable. Get slapped in the face enough times (I've been though 8 or so hurricanes) and you really respect their power more. And tend to care more about what makes them worse. [/QUOTE]
