Dangerous Category 5 Hurricane Irma had a devastating impact on islands in the Caribbean.
Hurricane and Storm surge watches were issued Thursday morning for South Florida. The Florida Keys began evacuating visitors and residents, followed by flood zones in Miami and Miami Beach. Sarasota FL declared a local state of emergency Thursday morning.
Polk County FL Sheriff Grady Judd said Wednesday that law enforcement authorities would check the identities of people who turn up at shelters--and take to jail anyone found to have an active arrest warrant. “If you go to a shelter for Irma and you have a warrant, we’ll gladly escort you to the safe and secure shelter called the Polk County Jail... “If you have a warrant, turn yourself in to the jail — it’s a secure shelter.” Judd also posted that sex offenders and sex predators would not be admitted to the shelters. "We cannot and we will not have innocent children in a shelter with sexual offenders & predators. Period." Judd's statements unleashed a liberal firestorm via Twitter.

ive seen this so many times..these powerful storms always interact with land the closer they get...Katrina was crumbling as she zeroed in...drew in dry air from Texas. But did a number on the coast...im just hoping the commies take one for the team...
I think it’ could be more of a pull from upper NE - SW level flow from the Yucatan.
Maybe that sonic weapon the Castro tyrants have deployed. Lol.

Adios, Cuba?
They stopped flying planes into Irma. There is no Hurricane in Cuba. And apparently the Cubans will shoot down any plane that tries to say otherwise.

Not just figured out...able to control it with global warming. Arrogance.
It had to be a shock watching Irma intensify with so much of the circulation over Cuba. He can only imagine what will happen over the open ocean on the way to Florida.
Over Cuba to Mexico????
