Hurricane Irma Cat 5 Aimed at Florida
« on: September 07, 2017, 10:47:55 AM »
Yesterday, Hurricane Irma with sustained winds of 185 mph for more than 24 hours, set a record for a hurricane in the Atlantic. The islands of Barbuda and St. Martin were devastated by Irma with her winds at still at 185. The prime minister of Barbuda has reported that Barbuda “is totally destroyed, 90 percent at least.”

Last night the storm passed by Puerto Rico and is now effecting the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Tonight it will hit the Turks and Caicos, and the Bahamas. Florida has a serious problem with millions of residents in the south part of the state in grave danger if Irma does make landfall at the southern tip. There is already a shortage of gas as many begin the exodus to safer ground. It is estimated Irma may hit Florida on Sunday.

Irma is more powerful than Andrew that 30 years and three weeks ago destroyed over 28,000 homes in Southern Florida, and at that time was the most costly disaster to hit America. The forecast of experts can change, but at the moment warnings have gone out that Florida appears to be in the eye of the storm in just a few days.

Just for the record, Andrew was in August of 1992.
