Wow. Hurricane #Irma is now expected to *exceed* the theoretical maximum intensity for a storm in its environment.

These storms get to a maximum and then fall down. They gather their strength back up and then fall again.

The Eye Wall and subsequent low pressure will tell you the magnitude. Anything under 950mb is one bad ass system.

If I am in Florida my trip to GA starts now.

#Irma has now surpassed Luis (1995) as the leading Accumulated Cyclone Energy generator in the tropical Atlantic (10-20N, 60-20W) on record.
