Yes we do!

Having wildfires around me. Very smokey.

florida might just disappear, if Irma keeps this track...\\

Stay safe cat.

kind of a cool gif...

Mother Nature's fury!

i wonder what they are going to do about your nuke plants there? one big wave did that to Japan(1 plant), and yall have 12..

I'm doing good compared to people in Florida and southeast.

sure glad I am not living in that corner of the Woods any longer!
I'd be hunkered down in Nassau now,hoping the Roof is strong enough!

7 years ago on sept 16th they had the same 3 hurricanes in the same 3 spots starting with the same letters.... Igor, Julia and Karl...

Wow, that's creepy.

It would be nice if Irma took a sudden turn to the North right about now.

I don't think anywhere in Florida is safe at this point, and parts of South Florida, especially the Keys will be history.

like like you'll get the outer bands, which is good for you..

Coincidence?......I think not

On the island of St Martin people have been robed at gun point by gangs of looters, the island is jointly owned by France and Holland. The curfew seems to be being ignored!

You'd think as "they "do mess with the weather , seeding clouds and such like that it would be possible to slow it down from the start?

yea, they had some shootouts here in Houston with looters...cops won
..

some think of it as an opportunity to steal. Open season on looters.

I have a silly question:

Why is Irma turning North?
What is keeping it from threading the needle and entering the Gulf?
Is it the winds from Katia?
Is it the temperature of the water in the Gulf?

I mean everyone is so sure it is going to turn North but what if it doesn't?
There has to be a reason for the Northern turn. Weather prediction computers are very powerful and smart. I just don't understand?

If it is wind related from Katia, If Katia is hitting Mexico and diminishing will that change the track? Could it be a thermal difference related to the thermal radiation of the Cuban land mass?

hope you're all safe?
