Let's hope it does the turn as shown...

Mikey,
it did not even start the Turn Southwards,
so why worry that it may not do the Turn northwards after the action still not done?
the typical american media is runing hype which get's worse Storm by Storm,
i guess a very large industry brings big bucks into some azzheads pockets that way.

Yep, you right. I think we should first see if it really does the turn and then worry or not.

Good morning Cyberspace world.
any sh.itty pants to clean up or heart attacks to report because people watch sh.it on Foxx or CNN and believe what they hear there?

today's morning update is easy and simple,
No Sigificant changes on anything!!!
as stated yesterday a thousand times, it is too early to get a ccurate Tracking of Irma for next week,
is is simply too early and the influencing factors of significance do still not exist,
because that forecasted tracking goes by "expected" but still not existing conditions north of the Storm.

as i wrote yesterday, the name of the game is Patience.
we will not know anything beore tomorrow noon and maybe not before sunday evening.
til then everything on tracking is very vague speculation.

as they did twice yesterday, NHC over night again moved their 5 days forecast point some miles further North again,
that means again further away from the caribbean Islands.
but i did not hear a single guys/gal happy about that, i only hear negative sould on a he.lls trip grabbing every single piece of negativity they can lay hand or ear on.
what a rotten world.
you have to get a life, guys, lñearn how to enjoy life and grab the good moments.
we are on a beautiful week with perfect beach weather and this weekend should provide exactly the same.
how can people be so stu to panic about something for next wek's ending and due that forget to enjoy the good week we just passed?

Rant over, i really don't get it how humanity can be such a bunch of TV rottened negativity searching garbage.

the good:
the NHC moved the 5 days waypoint for Irma again some miles north, away from the caribbean, a trend that runs continuously since the tracking started.

the most reliable tracking model is the European ECWMF,
but its runs show no agreement with itself of any kind.
the simple reason is that the main influencing factors for teh Storm's Tracking do still not exist, so they are given as input to the model runs in different strengths and as different times of start/endings of the occurances.
until now the model does not show anything reliable, it will take at least an other 24-48hrs before it will show the real close to be 5 days Tracking for Irma.
that final tracking may be close to the same as shown now, it could also point in exactly the opposite directions.

while the american model is know for inaccuracy on Tracking forecasts fo more than 48hrs out,
it's accuracy is not that it would provide the wrong headings, it is juts not bring a Storm exactly on the point after 5 days looking into the future.
for now, following both, the american model did it's job for the 24 and 48hrs outlooks very well
so for now the general directions pointed out by the american model are the most exact we have available to look on.

by now, all forecasts call for a Cat4-5 Irma missing the Caribbean Islands to their NE, on a close Pass which will bring a powerful southern portion of the Storm over several Islands and flooding rains over all the northern Caribbean with very strong winds. that is what everybody on a Island in the Northern Caribe should await for late next week/next weekend.

once the tracking models get accurate/in agreement, that basic outlook of effects will shift.
it can shift to the better by bringing the Styorm on a bypas further north
and it can shift to the worth bring the Storm closer or even straight towards the Islands to hit anywhere from the US Virgin Islands down to Barbados and anywhere in between.

by now it is senseless to run panic about smething that doesnt exist.

it is Huricane season, so i take it as a given fact that everybody has the house all the time ready for such event with the basics for such event on stock.
and unless you are a person who would fly out to run away from a Storm, thereis nothing else to do, no need to panic ahead of time. when it comes you will be here, you have no other way to go, so take life as it is, it's factual.

Irma is on construction, as awaited. Outer Bands are cut back, for that closer to the Center the TS Activity zone is more compact, more powerful. a new haircut that looks good.
til this point, this Storm is ingeneered perfectly, no cheap dominican or american construction labour, somebody built the real deal.

Enjoy the Weekend and on Sunday afternon coffee/Drink!!! we may have somethin reliable to count on.
time to hit the Road now,
weather is much too good to not take a morning run on the dirt bike before i get the Princess from school.

fear mongering at it's best, eh?

irma is well covered by dominican media and ONAMET (mentirologia, as miesposo calls them) is not issuing any warnings as of yet on the account of not being able to accurately predict movement of a hurricane so far ahead (it is said to hit our area in about a week).

having said that, this season i have seen more info on handling emergency situations. there were few articles in local and national media regarding hurricane warnings and how to act accordingly.

in DR it is always advisable to have extra supplies not only because of hurricanes but also because of the earthquakes. have additional water bottles, keep your gas tanks filled (both cooking gas and generator fuel), stock the pantry with cans.

keep calm and keep on chillaxing.

exactly that.
just back home from the quick ride, somebody has to get the Princess from school and that i don't leave to anybody than myself, lol. it is a beautiful day and i hope i find an hours or two in the afternoon for a ride to the other side along the Cape,
too nice to miss out on such.
what i also noticed, right yesterday, as a Buddy of mine had to reshedule our appointment for a cold one and a chat here, is that some Destination Management Companies hold now emergency meetings with their Staff to inform about the handling of the situation in case Irma would run havock around us.
this particular Destination management company from yesterday was Hola Tours.
nice to see/hear that every year again something changes for better, something good added.

yeah, looks nice,
BUT keep in mind that the NHC takes a midway/compromise between the american further north pointing and the European right over PR and DR pointing models.
it is simply too far ahead of time to show reliable tracking.
the predicted changes on weathe rconditions north and NW of Irma started to pop up.
we have the large High built up East of the US Coast wandering ESE wards and a Wave up NW of the assumed Path of the Storm. during the next 48hrs we will see how strong they are to effect the Heading of the Storm and if they really get the heck outta there by sunday's end to allow Irma to move again WNW wards .

tgsfc1.gif


the Storm should make a "Dive" below the Wave/pass it south and after the Pass come back on the usual WWNW'ern directions.
if such will really happen we only can patiently wait to see results.
Maybe Irma give's a Fock and just wanders straigh over it on a straight westward course.
thenit just is important that the Storm does not forget to come back on the usual WWNW tracking and all will be fine.

time to hit the road now

After going-through several SUPER TYPHOONS in the Pacific, I can tell you a Cat 4-5 Hurricane is no walk in the park and can definitely spoil your day and many days thereafter!

The death and destruction from a category 5 direct hit is no joke.

A Dominican friend told me one of the leading causes of death and injury in a major storm in the DR is flying zinc panels.

I like a little storm keep things interesting I hope it hits

Want to keep things interesting go do some extreme sports, go bungee jumping, hike Pico Duarte or go skydiving, this is not a "little storm", this cat 5 storm can cause major damage, devastating floods and multiple deaths, especially in DR & Haiti

the flying zinc panels is a memory I have embedded in my mind since Hurricane David, it was surreal, lucky for us we were watching from the safety of our secure home.

Hopefully this storm veers South as some have predicted but at the very least looks like some significant rain will come

http://detrasdelrumor.com.do/republ...la-ruta-de-irma-onamet-esperara-para-alertar/

SOUTH???
then it would bring it's full powerfull Northeastern Quadrant all over our Island, from the Cape here at my place on the East to the Western Tip of Haiti, which would run Havock on the Island much more than any Storm did in this milennium, Countrywide.
a nortehrn pass with the weaker SW Quadrant over us would already be heaviest flooding and strong windpowers for widest parts of the Island, maybe all the Island, depending on distance.
to get the northern Quadrants would be the worst, aside of a straight walk over with the Cneters Hurricane Force powers of course.
let that thingy pass us far north, 3 days of downpour, a heck of mudslides, no problems with drought for the rest of this summer, agriculture azzkicked with crops missing, heavy distructive stormsurge along the Northshores and also in the destructive range for the whole East, Caribbean side Wave Wise on the safe side of the Island and thats it.
walking South, through the Craibbean Sea, could become a close call to be very deadly and irreprable destructive on the Beaches there, too.
