Thankfully the first advisory does show it curving back to the north fairly early on

At least he's far from land.

Just casually intensifying 30 mph in 3 hours at 45°W in October, as you do

Kirk is the first major Atlantic hurricane on reliable record at 19.5N 44.5W in the month of October.

Absolutely nuts to have a storm this powerful this far east this late in the season.

This thing’s like the opposite of Helene: beautiful storm that is hardly threatening any land. Helene was an ugly monster.

Man that thing is in beast mode. Up 50 mph in 24 hours.

Yikes. GFS forecasting 18+ inches of rain for Florida from the potential storm in the gulf

Kirk looks like something straight out of the Pacific.

Obviously this is in model la-la land, but wow I hope the GFS isn't on to something around the 20th and 21st for Florida.

A repetitive hurricane hammering of Florida has always been a possibility. There's just no way to prepare for or deal with it if it happens. Hoping it doesn't.

That track in particular was a beast - straight up the east coast of Florida, starting with a big blow to Miami, then crossing to the Gulf. Total nightmare track.
