Thanks very much,my thinking as well,hard to convince my son in law they have animals but I’m going to give it a try,i think he may be in more jeopardy there than we are here.but as you say it is too early to get exact tracking.
Not my first rodeo,I’ve experienced every storm in South Fla. since 46.
Ok then. Think Donna 1960 minus the track after FL (Irma will most likely turn west, not race up the coast).
Irma will only be Donna if it maintains most of its strength. In contrast Irma will interact with Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, and possibly Cuba on the forecast track. So very likely will be weaker when it gets there.
