Time for a road trip.

Looking at the weather maps, I predict Irma is going to go into the gulf, that the weathermen are wrong. Florida's going to miss the bullet with minimum damage.
-
No predictions here, but if I lived anywhere in Irma's forecast path I'd already be elsewhere by now. This storm could do anything from running straight up through Florida to hugging Florida's gulf coast to cruising right on past, spinning up again and then pulling a Katrina further west.

Fake news. Deaths reported on the news. :'( :(

That's just a liberal conspiracy & because teh gayz can has marriage now. Well, it is according to various f***witted politicians and purveyors of supernaturalist mumbo-jumbo.

It is really unfair to label weathermen "wrong." It is not over yet, and, of course, predicting a hurricane's path, days in advance, with absolute precision, is impossible.
I flew my daughter out on Thursday. She just started her college in Fort Lauderdale, half-an-hour north of Miami, along the coast.
One phenomenon caught my eye, though: "Hurricane Irma Is So Strong, It's Sucking Water Away From Bahamas' Island Shore"

Likely some degree of storm surge on Florida's eastern coast. Dunno if there'll be a backlash in the Bahamas afterward. Irma's current path is allowing it to draw water from the Gulf too as it moves north. I have a friend in Orlando…last I heard from her she was planning to hightail it, but where to?

The same phenomenon observed in Florida too:

I'll give the superstitious of "ye olden days" some credit: they often saw destructive natural events as punishment for their own shortcomings and failures (as delineated by their particular norms). Their modern-day degenerate counterparts OTOH… ::)

Speaking about the modern day...

Are you sure? that is a good way to go ;)

Just two words about the hurricane in Florida
F-ing looters!
People suck
-
...F-ing looters!...
-
More looters:
-
Florida was "lucky" that Irma was only a Cat 3 hurricane by the time it made final landfall, and that it was at its most powerful over the Everglades rather than a major city.
Now here comes Hurricane José (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov).

Ah, I apologize ... turns out, those were not looters, but brave young men:

No looters here. I take it nobody's interested in The History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides?
