Yes...Hurricanes have hit FL for many many years, but this one is a monster because the oceans are getting warmer, and warm water (especially lots of it like the Atlantic) is the food that hurricanes use. The oceans are getting warmer because they're artificially warming up, glaciers are melting now where they never used to be less than about twenty feet thick.

That screed makes zero sense.

It makes more sense than bowing to a queen.  ;)

If I had his money, I'd buy myself an island too. And probably wouldn't give a shit about anyone judging why.  ;D

Of course you would. It's how all liberals are underneath these days: Totally narcissistic and selfish.  ::)

Looks like Florida dodged the worse case scenario as the wall has rammed right into Cuba as the storm tracked slightly south.

NOAA just upgraded Irma to Cat 5 again. Winds sustained at 165 mph

"One older man pushing his belongings in an empty wheelchair in Bayfront Park tried to wave them off.

“I don’t want nothing,” he said, insulting a social worker.

“So you are cool with dying in the streets?” he asked.

“Get out of my goddamn face,” he responded.

“What’s your name?” asked Dr. Mohammad Nisar, a psychiatrist who was looking for evidence of mental illness, a necessary factor for a Baker Act detention."

“We are here to help you. Listen to me. You are being very aggressive. We are trying to help you,” Bernat said. “It’s very dangerous out here.”

Yikes. The highest point in Key West is 18 feet above sea level. In Key Largo it's almost seven feet.

Hitting Cuba is going to help Florida somewhat.  Winds will probably be down at the 2:00 AM update.  Hopefully it stays over Cuba long enough to diminish its strength to a low Category 4 or high Category 3 Hurricane.  If that happens though it might not turn North before hitting Key West then  it could strengthen over the gulf and ride up West Coast enabling it to strengthen back up to a Category 5 and makes landfall on the panhandle and could be a much stronger storm for inland Georgia.

This movie is on my mind now.

Ha. Well not ha, really. But same here. I was thinking that TCM would go like normal networks and go with "hurricane" theme. Also I recall an Addams Family episode, but can't search around and find it, where Morticia was reminiscing about her and Gomez traveling to and enjoying a hurricane.

Most of your statements are explained by your demonstrable ignorance, but this one explains itself.


Here is an online video of John Ford's The Hurricane from 1937.  An excellent underrated film from the Ford canon.

... it's gonna pass the eye directly over Key West, and then head straight for Houston.


Eight ball, corner pocket. You heard it here first.

Looks like the eye is veering to the northwest.  The eye is staying over the northern islands off of Cuba.

All we can do is pray massive rolleyes

As of 2 AM, it is still packing 160 mph winds and still going west according to NOAA. I still think it is moving to the NW.

Looks like they'll need some new hotels along the north coast of Cuba!


That's too bad.

Where are all those plumes of rapid evaporation coming from, in the open sea west of the Bahamas?
You can see them. They're right there.

That is the clouds encountering a dry air mass and evaporating.  It has been very dry and cool the last couple days in the Southeast.  The atmosphere will eventually moisten up if the storm moves into Florida.

Not those clouds. The other clouds.

No thanks.  I prefer not to desecrate my beautiful body but whatever floats your boat! :D ;)  I do like looking at them every now and then especially the ones above the ass, on the belly and on the thighs.  On attractive females that is.  I don't like sleeve tattoos.
