Hurricane Irma Live Thread Part II
NHC/NOAA ^ | NHC/NOAA | NHC/NOAA

Posted on 09/07/2017 8:09:47 AM PDT by NautiNurse

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.

A Cat 5 landfall in Cuba. Lots of death.

It’s actually trending a bit south, I didn’t see anything in the forecasts that had it ever going south.

It’s slowed a bit obviously - I think there’s a wobble north. Maybe getting to the famous north turn moment. Or just a wobble. I’m done trying to understand this storm for tonight. Going on 8 hours sleep in 2 nights.

God bless us all!

Irma just went up to a Cat 5 again with much of the circulation over Cuba. Lord help us when it is over the Florida Straits. Look at the intensification of the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane in the same region. Irma is already a Cat 5 before moving into it.

Oh WOW!...not at all surprised she’s back up to cat 5.....the eye wall bumping along Cuba’s coast hasn’t done squat....some are saying she’s gone inland but I’m not getting anything on that.

There is no Hurricane in Cuba. They have always been at war with the US. Do you want you chocolate rations or not ? Ignorance is bliss in Cuba, unfortunately.
