last report I saw today shows it heading more nw and probably ended up around NC or Virginia sometime after next weekend if it makes landfall.
If I didn't have kids I'd be gone for sure! My youngest is in 6th grade and I'm 42....counting down till college. I'm out of hear! Western NC/TN/VA area has always appealed to me. Ready for a change and cooler weather. Early, live cheap retirement hear I come just need to convince the wife.

I am all set to do my New York SoBo section on September 8. I don't know what to do... I can postpone and start on September 14 but beyond that, I don't know when I can do it... I've been looking forward to this section for a year!!!
Do I go on the 8th and hope that the storms doesn't hit us or do I wait and start on the 14th and hope that it passes up New York within the week?

I've been caught out on the trial in the remnants of a couple of hurricanes in New England. Typically heavy rain for 12 to 24 hours and it's gone. What's left of Harvey hasn't gotten here yet, but not much left of it anyway. If Irma skips up the coast, that might be a different story.

I start the approach trail Sep 8th and will be on the AT for 10 days! I hope it stays away.
Lots of variables in play to concern ourselves for now.
If it does swing up the coast the track won't be determined until Friday at the earliest.
Getting lost is a way to find yourself.
It's a brave man that can put an X on the ocean.
I live about 60 miles from the coast and have sat tight for a lot of storms. This one, depending on where they project landfall, I am thinking of packing up and leaving. This does not appear to be one to play with.
Good news, is that historically this storm in this location in sept would turn out to sea, and not make landfall most of time
Bad news is thats not what models are showing
As of this morning most of the tracking models are putting Irma somewhere between Cuba and the Bahamas by mid day Saturday, with only a few outlier models showing a turn up the coast. Too hard to predict this far out unfortunately but indications are starting to build its headed for the Gulf.
I filled up the gas cans for my generator yesterday. Hopefully that will work as hurricane prevention insurance. Simply buying the generator after Charlie, Francis, and Jean hit FL back to back to back worked to keep them away for over 10 years...
