Sounds like things could get mighty ugly.Let's hope,at the very least,that those most likely to be hurt in their homes are able to get the hell out of harm's way.

I saw a video from a Dutch military plane over St. Martin, post Irma. It seemed a lot of structures were still standing, but badly damaged.
One thing I noticed was that some large hotels, evidently with concrete floors and dividing walls, seemed to be just gutted, as though the wind blew out the windows and swept the interior bare. Maybe I got this wrong, but that’s the impression I got. Very scary.

Can you imagine if Irma threaded the needle between Florida and Cuba, kept going straight into the Gulf of Mexico where it would pick up energy and water from the warm waters of the Gulf, then kept going straight to the Houston area where it would unleash its Cat 5 fury on a barely drying out and tired area?
Highly unlikely but then so is the Cat 3 storm coming right behind it hitting islands already devastated by Irma.

Clinton adviser urged using hurricane to boost Obamas re-election bid
| 1/8/16 | (The Guardian) One of Hillary Clinton's closest advisers told her that Barack Obama should use a deadly hurricane to boost his re-election campaign, a proposal that she agreed to pass on to the White House, a new tranche of emails reveals. Blair and Clinton transcripts reveal global concerns of two buddies Read more Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime friend of the Clintons, sent a memo in 2012 presenting a strategy for turning Hurricane Isaac to the Democrat's; political advantage by contrasting it with President George W Bushs handling of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

The pressure systems around Irma are what are going to guide it. Looks like she’s boogieing up the peninsula. Both coasts in big trouble.

Dear Lord please have mercy.
Most of the wickedness of Florida is in the far southern end. What if two or three high pressure systems gripped Irma like they did Harvey — and then Jose pulls her way out to sea?

I hear I-75 is a parking lot with people already running out of gas on it. Lots of not-too-smart people out there.
I foresee thousands going through the hurricane sitting in their cars trying to head north way too late.......

While watching footage, I didn’t notice hurricane shutters on the hotel windows either.

I always believe, in areas where flooding is often a serious potential, that officials waiting to either suggest or demand evacuation is silly at best and wrong at worst.
People in those circumstances should get out of the way and the earlier the better. It only gets worse as everyone waits until finally some dumb official says they must evacuate, and then no one can ‘cause they’re all trying to do it at the same time.
To be clear, if flooding was not that likely in the case of my location, and if I had a good idea my building with its roof would hold, I would not evacuate only for the wind.

I hear I-75 is a parking lot with people already running out of gas on it. Lots of not-too-smart people out there.Eventually a lot of people are going to be killed on an interstate when a storm catches them in bad positions. And then the gubermint morons (and their presstitutes) will have to rethink their irresponsible whipping the masses into a "we are all going to die" scenario.
