Our houses in TV our built to handle 100 mph winds and then some.

The effective wind speeds are greater on the east side as a storm is moving north because the storm's forward motion is added to the wind speed from the pressure gradient.

Our windows are made to withstand 129 mph winds......the roofs not sure.

The latest cycles of the forecast models show the storm tracks from the NWS spectral and HWRF codes to the east of the ECMWF code. The NHC forecasters are going with the more western track as Irma moves north. Here is the latest 5AM forecast track from the NHC:

HURRICANE IRMA

The NHC precipitation forecast still shows us in the 6-10 inch range:

HURRICANE IRMA

tuccillo, any idea what the wind prediction is right now for us? These maps have me seeing cross-eyed! If I am looking at it correctly, they are saying 60mph, but not sure. Once again, thanks for all of your input on this storm!

Gusts over 80 mph seems to be reasonable for Monday. I recommend watching the Weather Channel and/or the local news for the latest thinking by the NHC.

We won't have power on Monday is my guess. Could you ride around in your golf cart and tell us? I will share our Twinkies with you.

Not at all, that's exceptionally informative. I'm talking about people with thousands of posts that feel they just need to say something/anything. (My last post on this thread.) Keep the information coming.
