Hurricane IRMA

Once again this trippy link...

earth :: a global map of wind, weather, and ocean conditions

https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-79.65,23.01,1217/loc=-71.944,22.049

See current wind, weather, ocean, and pollution conditions, as forecast by supercomputers, on an interactive animated map. Updated every three hours.

I've had this up on one of the screens since Freeze posted it.

Once it hit Turks, that storm moved due west, towards Puerto Rico, into the "corridor" towards Florida.

But yeah, according to those trippy graphics, it's moved straight to the left for sure.

Now North Florida is overrun with evacuees and there's no gas and no where to go except hunker down. If it skips land, gets out into the gulf and comes my way, it's been nice posting with you guys these years

Where are you?

Donker on his way to Florida to rescue the folks

**Fishhead** · 09-08-17, 11:19 PM

As of this hour, NAPLES and the KEYS are in GRAVE danger

**Mac4Lyfe** · 09-08-17, 11:27 PM

Is it me or is the fukkker headed back to Houston??? Unfukkingreal.

**JIBBBY** · 09-08-17, 11:33 PM

Florida has endured many hurricanes.. This not that different... I think this is all over blown and the fake news is hyping it up for ratings.. We'll see though???

Jibbby - I have friends in Turks n Caicos whose homes are in rubble. Here's a church that was a shelter until the roof collapsed. And remember that homes in these islands are built to a much higher code than homes in Florida...

Provo airport...

Looking at this thing from when it got close, I didn't understand why more of these shit models didn't have it going west. You guys should be alright. LA could get fcked if Donks lover Katia pushes it to sit in the Gulf. Meteorology is a cake job. I love the shit from when I was a kid. Would have been my job if I didn't fck up my life.

I don't think any of the models had it going West like it looks now. It looks like it may hit the keys and a little bit of South Florida but come straight into the gulf and slam LA and MS?? Maybe even get pulled more West towards Texas?

I just bought an inflatable boat but it won't be here for 2 weeks. Dammit.

**JIBBBY** · 09-09-17, 12:16 AM

^^^Well Mac you would know better then I.. I never experienced a hurricane or even a tornado living on the west coast out here in Cali.. Just seems like every news station I'm watching on TV right now is all gloom and doom..

I figured Hurricanes are nothing new for the Floridians..

One line had it swinging into the Gulf then LA, and MS area. It looks like it is going to start taking its upward turn soon after it bounces off Cuba, so all should be well in your area. Probably goes up, and just shits on the Keys and Western Florida. Tampa doesn't look great now.

Did you get any supplies? I know for the longest time you boys weren't really in the mix.

Jibbby - it's one of the most horrible things to experience. It's like a tornado that won't stop for several hours. The roaring sounds and the pressure build up on the roof is frightening. You just duck and cover expecting the house to collapse at any minute. Then the unfortunate souls who's house isn't strong enough are thrashed into the streets, dodging debris, wind, rain, down electrical lines, etc. People are literally clinging to trees, bodies, animals flying. Hurricanes are devastating wherever it lands. You just pray that the eye never comes near you.

Earthquakes are very frightening as well. I've had my share in LA. The unexpectedness of a quake and wondering if more is to come is gut wrenching as well. But, it's normally over after several minutes and you just have to be lucky to be in the right place at the right time. Hurricanes take days to come and then you are stuck for several days, it's normally calm a few days before, then you get rain, then you get battering rain, then you get wind and battering rain, then you get the locomotive in your living room for several hours, then that sound dissipates but still more wind and battering rain so if your roof blew off, you get flooded, then more rain, then the calm and the aftermath. Homes in South Florida are not built to withstand this.

**JIBBBY** · 09-09-17, 12:56 AM

^^ Yup Mac, I think I'd take big earthquakes over big hurricanes then... I've been thru some big earthquakes personally speaking..

I was literally at the epicenter of the Northridge earthquake here in LA years ago.. I could not stand, everything was flying around the room and crashing on the floor, all the lights went out so it was pitch dark also which made matters worse.. I could hear crashes and bangs out side, neighbors screaming, car alarms going off, etc.. For a second you really think it is the end of the world..

I had to just sit in my bed wide eyed and hope the roof didn't fall down on my head.. Very scary are the big ones.. They are over very fast though unlike the Hurricanes though....

I was skiing in Squaw when that hit. We had to take the back roads home because a couple of freeways collapsed. My place in Westwood had a huge brick Chimney that cracked. I couldn't stay in my place until it was inspected.

Northridge looked like a war zone, we drove around checking out the damage.

I was living on the beach in Marina Del Rey when Northridge. I jumped out of the house onto the sidewalk and several cars parked on the street were bouncing up and down like they were on hydraulics. People started coming into the streets screaming. I could hear a couple houses behind me crackle like they were about to collapse. I spent the next couple days looking at the beach, afraid to death that there was going to be a tsunami. Santa Monica got thrashed. They had a Catholic Church that damn near fell to the ground and houses 2 - 3 blocks from the beach were inhabitable. I still don't understand why SM got hit so bad? I really didn't know how bad it was until I saw the 10 had collapsed.

My mom visited me one time when there was a small tremor. I could hear her in the bedroom going, "woah, aww, whew, wah", I said mom calm down it's just a quake. She finds out the next day that the epicenter was like 100 miles away... She never came out to LA to visit me again.

Yea...we got hit by Hermine last year so people were prepared. Ironically I've been keeping empty water jugs for a non-hurricane related reason, so we'll have 20 gallons and I'll freeze as much as I can. Not much else we can do but hunker down and hope we don't lose power for too long or a tree doesn't fall on the house.

**stevek173** · 09-09-17, 06:21 AM

100 pts to 1st poster to post as storm is hitting with storm in background

200 if you're outside

Stay safe everyone

Houston will be fine from this one. The west coast of Florida is fukked. Tampa and St. Pete will be slammed. They have several low areas and storm surge will be a big issue there. Because of the size of this thing, Miami and Orlando won't be out of the water either. The most maddening thing to me is that the ensemble models and computer models are putting out is a little different than the NHC. I'd probably leave if I had a place to go and the roads weren't slammed. Most of mine & the wife's folks are in the hurricane path too. I can't go off too far because once it passes, I have to get back. If it starts wondering out into the gulf, where it won't hit land, we'll have to head somewhere. We went through a Cat 1 last year and it knocked the power out for 4-5 days. Just hope this one doesn't do the same.

Also, something else nobody is talking about now...this thing is going to go into Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee and park it down for a few days. Going to be some flooding there.

**Cuse0323** · 09-09-17, 06:23 AM

Hope all goes well Dane. Check in when you can after the hit. Looks like it's starting to head up your way once done destroying some of Cuba. I can't help my armchair meteorology.

Wish everyone well in the path.

I don't get how these newscasters stay. Who signs up for that job? Anyway, yeah best of luck. Damn Irma taking out Mike Evans from me.

Which is exactly what I said. The models got it wrong. It doesn't matter why they got it wrong. It only matters that they got it wrong.

24 hours ago I was in the center of the cone. Now, I'm not even in the friggin cone and the models are saying it's to go up the west coast of FL and blast all of the people who evacuated southeast FL.

**TheLock** · 09-09-17, 07:05 AM

8:00 advisory and the storm is no longer moving West North West.

Now it's moving West 12MPH. They have no clue where this thing is going.

This thing could move into the Gulf and end up a Cat 5 that plows into New Orleans or Panama City, FL.

This is what I've been saying all along. Something weird about this storm.

**Auto Donk** · 09-09-17, 08:14 AM

looks like my false flag thread is being borne out by the facts.... this f'n storm never, ever showed up on any legitimate radar......

what the fuk did the gov't feel the evactuation of s. florida was so necessary for?

why the fuk did it feel the need to station warships and actual military as opposed to national gaurd?

this thing was a band of thundershowers when it crossed the domincan republic, scattered thundershowers when it went over peurto rico, and now miami has pigeons sitting around on south beach with the feathers unruffled, wondering where all the gay boys are to feed them some crumbs.....

what a disaster.... uh, i mean what a non-disaster.....

i would note the one model now has the thing getting into the gulf of mexico and heading straight to htown......

**Auto Donk** · 09-09-17, 08:17 AM

my friend in doj said the russians and their weather machine were going to destroy mar-a-largo unless the us paid them billions and billlions, kinda like dr. evil in goldfmember.....

once trump caved, the russians aren't going to turn the storm northward, but gonna let it drift aimlessly until they find someone else to threaten with it.....

most overhyped storm in history. looters in miami going to have a field day. when those who obey the governor and fled return will find their houses in fine condition but nothing left inside. looters currently organizing for their biggest payday ever with so many gone. no one their to stop them.

**jjgold** · 09-09-17, 10:33 AM
