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.
Carl Rove gave the keys to the Hurricane machine to President Trump.
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.
Amen. Second it.
Prayer said!
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.......
Snowbird buddy gathered up valuables stored in his mobile home in Broward county (Palm Beach) loaded in his pickup and bring them up north Thursday noon has been stuck in traffic and unable to get get gas. For the laterst in Irma’s movements try

Is this storm being over hyped? Wall-to-wall coverage, now storm weakening, just 150 mile an hour and building requirements in US require withstanding at least that much, but it is a great opportunity for the media to sow fear and undermine individual responsibility in favor of government directed mandatory evacuations, and so forth. Especially as follow-on to Harvey, which I think is very different because of the area, I think this reporting and fear regarding Irma is too much.
People are being conditioned to be sheep, do as told, when told, how told. Media is partners by sowing fear 24x7.
Storm already weakening. What is repercusions if storm doesn't meet fear? Weakened win is or should be withing building code requirements and unless people live on the beach, but most are being driven by fear rather than necessity.
Now storm predictions are smaller, less than 150 MPH and to the west and miss Miami and potentially all of Florida. Who pays the costs? And, someone wrote the other day about what if it just goes through into the Gulf? I keep wondering about this. So much fear and hype being thrown around. Guess no one is talking about Russia any more...
Storm moving west, everybody that evacuated wasted their time based on the over hype and fearmongering. Embarrassing. Looks like Irma might miss east Florida entirely. Oops!
Per Breitbart, the models now have it bypassing Miami/South FL and into SW FL. That means it’s going to go into the Gulf!
