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.
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.
