Ian in re-strengthening! The 2pm update from NHC shows 120mph maximum sustained winds and 955mb.

Moving north at just 10mph

This is hysterical and very compulsive viewing ! We'd be the same down here in Hastings

There was almost no disruption to the hurricane's core as it crossed western Cuba; looking at the satellite loops you'd think it hadn't made landfall at all. This means there is next to no need for the storm to reorganise before restrengthening. Also, the cold front arriving from the NW doesn't look like causing as much weakening as first thought (and the weakening will be even less significant if the track continues to trend eastwards), In any case, a Cat. 3 which has come down from Cat. 4 is usually worse than one which has come up from Cat. 2 ( they tend to be more mature hurricanes with larger wind fields - Katrina is the classic example here). Throw in a big slow-down in forward motion as Ian approaches the coast (perhaps even a stall) and you have the potential for both prolonged storm surge and prodigious rainfall.

On the other hand, the wind field is still relatively small. I wonder if there's a chance of an EWRC before reaching Florida (which would expand it).

This could be akin to Katrina levels of devastation around tampa if Ian reverts a hundred miles further north on landfall on current ec guidance

It looks to be turning slightly to the northeast.

I have my fears about this hurricane and Florida. Will enough of them take it seriously?

I can't remember its name but a few years ago there was a super-hyped hurricane for Florida which didn't end up as bad as expected (it lost puff after the Caribbean), I think it was the one when reporters were bracing against the wind as if it were Armageddon but in the background people were ambling down the street like on a calm day.

Several models now showing gusts at landfall close to 150mph - you're more likely to fly than amble in that.

To a degree I understand how those on the East Coast can be complacent (understand not agree) but those on the west. Of the 160 that have made landfall in Florida only 17 have done so on the west coast. 

Hopefully the uniqueness of this situation will mean people will take it seriously, the alternatives are unfathomable.
