Hurricane looks like an overhyped dud

Nup this is huge,huuuuuge

Has it landed properly yet? the News are saying 130 mph winds at the moment, and that it is at the lower florida keys. It has upgraded from a category 3 Hurricane to a category4 again.

The west coat of Fla will cop for it.

And you say that while thousands will die, you are a criminal, SIR

Thousands will die?

I was expecting aramagedon and whatnot. This storm isn't stronger than Harvey, but of course with a female name who would assume it would be.

Cat 4, Miami is swamped, over a million without power, and Irma has not yet made landfall on Florida. She will spawn several tornadoes today.

13 people died in the islands of the carribean and it was total destruction.

very few will die in florida.
the news made it seem like the end of the world and so far, even in the keys, just wind.

its all for ratings.

currently cat 4, retard.

Says the MSM, little lamb.

check out the web cams in florida, at the keys and others.

does it LOOK like a cat 4? no

You know, I understand that it may seem ridiculous. But, even after Irma dissipates there is chance for mass casualties. That water won't be going anywhere for a while, which will breed viruses. Some in Texas are already seeing the effects of this. Plus, you will have thousands without power, thousands without homes or whose homes are uninhabitable, thousands in close confinement in shelters...all of that leads to the potential for the spreading of contagions.

Floodwater is often more than rain or ocean water pushed in by the hurricane's storm surge. It's often contaminated by chemicals or sewage. People are walking through this, swimming in it to help people, etc. It's in their homes, their cars, schools...Things like zika and other mosquito-borne viruses spread more easily in water. The water also creates mold problems, which leads to other health issues. In a warm environment like Florida, these problems will only spread more quickly. In poorer areas and areas that are impassable and first responders cannot get through to easily, it will be much worse.

This is far worse than just some hurricane barreling through the Caribbean islands and the Florida peninsula. The real hell will likely only be beginning once the hurricane leaves.

A hurricane is wind and rain, that's what it is. It's weather, not a nuclear bomb. But I love hurricane coverage.

enjoy her I'm getting blown by Irma right now

We don't have Jeff riding out the eyewall, as he did for Harvey. But Irma is still special.

we're still 3 hours away

Irma is not even fully impacting Florida yet. The outer bands that hit last night and this morning are not going to have the same force as the rest of the storm. This is only just the beginning. Give it time.
