Major Hurricane Irma

HWRF has Irma going right across Cuba. It's been on the southern end of model guidance for a while so I'm definitely keeping an eye on how it evolves. That would be bad news for Cuba, but definitely good news for the US. It also seems to be pretty far west before it makes any turn, but the model only goes to 126hr so maybe it would soon thereafter

This isn't going to end up running up the coast like Floyd unless the timing changes dramatically.

GFS and CMC show TS force winds along the entire east coast.  It's not a matter of timing, it's a matter of whether or not there's a troff in the lakes, or OV.

The 12Z Euro at D7 shows Irma off the east coast of Florida and moving north. If it misses the turn though it could wind up pretty far in the GOM. Or if the turn occurs later it might wind up on the west side of Florida instead of the east side. As landfall possibilities get closer and closer to the D7 and especially D5 lead times the escape routes OTS will start dwindling if this trend for a later turn north continues.
