See, see! Trump’s harsh, violent rhetoric again!

Awww shoot.

The scary part now is that there is a chance that Irma make a direct hit in the Miami, FL area. And that will make Miami Beach extremely vulnerable to wind and flooding damage.

[Does so]

By aiming at Cuba’s north shore, Irma’s gonna impact the Florida Keys!

[CincyRichieRich]

I’m not poo pooing this but on all forecasts, including accuweather, whom i respect the most, know they WANT the storm to hit, so there is that bias...also as storms strengthen, they nearly always weaken in last 100 miles due to outer bands hitting barrier islands.

I’m watching this one CLOSE! I have interests in the FL panhandle and it is looking like the models that I trust has it scatting up the west coast of FL to the northern big bend area.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Looks like its going into the Gulf now

I have never in my lifetime experienced so much mainstream media and weather sources HOPING a big hurricane will strike at some shore of the United States, as if that would be a good rebuke to a president Liberals don’t like and Marxists hate.

The election derangement syndrome has metastasized into a viral cancer.

[onedoug]

But they can predict the climate.

[Spiridon]

If that path holds it looks like entry into the Gulf of Mexico is possible.

Looks like you may have a visitor.

They say that high pressure area out in the Atlantic is what may what prevent the hurricane from making the typical north-northeast turn.

[njslim]

If look at weather maps see there are 2 high pressure system

One out over Atlantic, second over Midwest

If remain in position IRMA has path right for east coast

[Enlightened1]

The Jet Stream and the Ocean always change. So right now it looks bad, but it could change.

My understanding is the Gulf and the ocean East of Florida is like bathwater. So we are probably looking at a Cat 5 Hurricane.

[cgbg]

This is a major change in the forecast—very bad...

[HotHunt]

Come on people. Hurricanes can be devastating. Always have been. This is not news to Florida.

I live in north central Florida, deliberately away from the coastlines. But if Mother Nature aims one right at us, nothing we can do at this point.

There is not many places worse in the US for attracting hurricanes and tropical storms except peninsular Florida and the other east and gulf coast states.

If for some reason I get wiped out in a storm, I'm moving back to Arizona where I'm from. The worst thing that happens there is 120 degrees summer days occasionally.

But hot weather doesn't destroy your home and possessions. That "dry" heat doesn't sound so bad after all compared to wind and water damage caused by a hurricane.

I have lived most of my 66 years on the Texas coast. If there is one thing I know it's that hurricanes will do what they do. (And) what they will do is SURPRISE YOU. That is why I retired and moved to the Hill Country. Now I am only surprised by the occasional scorpion or snake.
