My hunch as it skirts Cuba, it will likely minimize some before turning north onto Florida, so by the time it reach our areas we may see maximum winds of maybe 115 possible as a cat 3 near the minimal side of the cat 3 level... this is the best I could expect and hope for... and then, landfall would be across the middle keys and then main landfall west of the east coast of Florida, possibly closer to the center of the State... so it would still be a serious hurricane but absolute devastation may possibly be diverted... we'll see... Of course, this is my best hope and also wild hunch based on the push south with Cuba serving as a wind break... By this time tomorrow morning I'll be out of communication with the world, at least for a while, we're already hunkered down in our bunker... GZ

5 AM IRMA UPDATE At 500 AM EDT (0900 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Irma was located near latitude 21.7 North, longitude 73.8 West. Irma is moving toward the west-northwest near 16 mph (26 km/h), and this motion is expected to continue for the next day or so with a decrease in forward speed. A turn toward the northwest is expected by late Saturday. On the forecast track, the eye of Irma should continue to move westward away from the Turks and Caicos Islands and toward the southeastern Bahamas this morning. The core of the hurricane will then move between the north coast of Cuba and the Bahamas during the next day or two, and be near the Florida Keys and the southern Florida Peninsula Sunday morning. Maximum sustained winds are near 155 mph (250 km/h) with higher gusts. Irma is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some fluctuations in intensity are likely during the next day or two, but Irma is forecast to remain a powerful category 4 hurricane during the next couple of days. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles (295 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 925 mb (27.32 inches). nhc.noaa.gov GZ
