It's going to hurt a lot more than business. I don't see any way to build a way around this happening again.

Hurricane Irma has been strengthening, and they are already warning that if it hits the United States as a high level category 5 storm the devastation would be absolutely unprecedented.

One week from this Monday is September 11th ...

Irma now is officially a cat 5, German media report. On its current course it will hit Cuba and then Florida and/or the coast west of Florida. Since it must not stay on a linear path, it can very well turn and pass Florida left or right.

I don't really understand all of this high's and low's that can steer a hurricane, but this seems to make sense: http://www.mlive.com/weather/index.s...ey_to_hur.html

Quote:
The weather pattern over the Great Lakes region and northeast U.S. over the next five days will be a big influence of the eventual track of Hurricane Irma.

A deep upper-air low pressure system over the Great Lakes, followed by a strong high pressure system will be the main steering mechanisms for Hurricane Irma.

Timing of placement of these two weather features will dictate whether intense category 5 Hurricane Irma gets pushed eastward and misses the southeast U.S. or gets steered west and plows into the U.S.


Sometimes I just read the first part, but this time I went back and read the entire web page ...

Quote:
Hurricane Irma is now so strong, the National Hurricane Center issued a "Special Advisory" in between regularly scheduled updates. The National Hurricane Center now forecasts maximum sustained winds increasing to an incredible 178 mph, and maximum gusts to 218 mph.

To compare Hurricane Irma winds to Hurricane Harvey, the storm that flooded parts of Texas had maximum sustained winds around 140 mph.

Currently, there are two differences between Irma and Harvey. Irma looks like it has the potential for higher winds, and more wind damage. However, Irma looks like it may keep moving, which would not bring the catastrophic rainfall amounts that Harvey did.

Stay tuned to this situation very closely. There will likely be significant changes to the forecast track and other details as it gets closer to the U.S.

If the models I've seen are correct and the eye passes just south of the tip of Florida then this storm will be unbelievable

Latest from Mike's and Tropical Tidbits

East / West / Flip / Flop... GFS teasing east coast FL and still very strong and very large. Here is the latest 12z from tropicaltidbits.com. We will get these slight changes each run so can't focus on EXACT landfall spots. EURO trending more west coast. We will see in an hour the latest. The system is so big both sides of the state will get impacts no matter which side it chooses to follow. Still some tracks take Irma over Atlantic waters putting GA/SC/NC and maybe VA still at risk. Irma is 180mph now. A turn is expected near Cuba and close to Florida... but when and how wide the turn are big big questions. New NHC map at 5pm. Latest 11am map touching the Tampa Bay area. Everything you need on Hurricane Irma on my site and APP:


Northbound US1 out of Key West must be bumper to bumper. After Hugo I came to the conclusion don't waste your money buying plywood, generators and the like. Just flee, pack up your car and get the heck out. I live on DELMARVA and I already got bags packed and I'm ready to go.

If Hurricane Irma should hit the USA mainland on 9-11-17 would that be a sign that no one is ready to receive?

David Ray Wilkerson (May 19, 1931 – April 27, 2011)
said these things would happen before Jesus comes back, but all prophecy is subject to another prophet. I am not a prophet just a believer ...

If you think this hurricane is just a coincidence then don't worry ... we are not to worry anyway, but this man sure convinces me that something it going on:

Just listen to the first 3 and 1/2 minutes if you don't want to listen to the entire vision

Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma and now here comes Jose: http://abcnews.go.com/International/...ry?id=49608171

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Jose has formed over the open Atlantic, following closely behind Irma, the NHC said Tuesday.

Nature is nothing to foolishly place bets against. Hope is no strategy.

I took the bait, the first five minutes. It does not need to have "visions" to see famine and war and natural desasters growing in frequency and intensity if you do this and that to nature, and continue to do it, and if you implement these and those policies and ideologies and social engineering experiments and econimic strategies. No, Mr. Wilkerson, "supernatural powers are not at work" here - just natural laws, and man placing bets against them. No surprise who the winner will be.

I can't believe you took the bait. Everybody knows Jesus left Chicago and he's bound for New Orleans.

That's right. The three men I admire most, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, they took the last train for the coast.
