Everyone living south of Tennessee keep an eye on the weather this week.
Louisiana boy here. This reminds me a little too much of Hurricane Andrew. Feels bad man.
My brother is driving up from Miami soon. My roommates said Irma is approaching or will surpass Andrew's force, but I can't find anything that pops out saying as much. The projections this morning showed it's most liking Tokyo drifting back into CFL. Looking for newer models soon.
Hopefully Puerto Rico d̶i̶d̶n̶'̶t̶ doesn't get a direct hit. They have so many other problems they don't have the resources to rebuild: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-storm-irma-puertorico/puerto-rico-declares-state-of-emergency-ahead-of-hurricane-irma-idUSKCN1BF25W The power company’s system has deteriorated greatly amid Puerto Rico’s decade-long recession, and the territory experienced an islandwide outage last year. Governor Ricardo Rossello, echoed the concerns, saying: “It’s no secret that the infrastructure of the Puerto Rico Power Authority is deteriorated.” Rossello has activated the National Guard, cancelled school for Tuesday and declared a half-day of work."Despite the economic challenges Puerto Rico is facing, the approved budget has $15 million for the emergency fund,” Rosselló said in a statement.
Ricardo Ramos, the director of Puerto Rico’s power company, predicted the storm could leave some areas of the US territory without electricity for four to six months.
Whatchu mean "didn't"? It's still approaching Puerto Rico. Is 2017 a good year for anything? Even the hurricane season is brutal. Yeesh.
n̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶!̶ p.s. it's all good, I just got confused
Leeward Islands are Fucked. 185MPH sustained winds will hit the islands Wednesday, then it moves toward Puerto Rico and Cuba. Florida is in for a world of pain if this thing stays a Cat4 when it makes its turn. Everyone in the Keys should start bugging out if not already on the way out. https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/extremely-dangerous-cat-5-irma-storms-leeward-islands
