Irma's a Cat 5 now. Sustained winds of 185 mph. She broke her own record of 180 in hours. America's Penis is going to be flat up against it's butt crack soon.

I have a brother in Miami Beach, which already floods during high tides thanks to climate change and now seems to be in Irma's bulls-eye. He lives 2 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean.
Just texted my sister in law and they are making plans to evacuate. Not real clear where to, though. Not much high ground in Florida.
This is one major instance where I'm hoping the weather forecasters are wrong.

Latest projections have it hanging a right at the Keys and heading straight up Florida.  


Sort of puts this into a new perspective...although not for the rich motherfuckers who benefit from putting up cheaper buildings for poor people to drown in!

That's why it seems that more are forming in the Gulf because they don't have to fight their way through the winds.

But Harvey formed in the Gulf and exploded to Cat. 4.  That's exciting.  When Irma gets through with Cuba on its back side and the Florida Keys providing minimal resistance to its more powerful upper right quadrant it will have some time to reform over the very warm waters of the Gulf.  Then, where shall it go?

Then 2 major hurricanes to hit the US the first year trump gets elected. Both hits states that voted for trump. Dead silence from evangelical fuckwits...
