Hurricane Irma is gaining strength in the Atlantic as it moves toward the Gulf of Mexico, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) announced Thursday.


Irma was upgraded from a tropical storm to a hurricane with winds from 74 to 110 miles per hour at 11 a.m. Thursday morning.


Irma is “expected to be an extremely dangerous hurricane for the next several days,” an NHC public advisory said.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

People.   They do call it"Hurricane Season" for a reason.  This shit has been going on since the !st Monkey in Florida decided to throw a coconut instead of his own Poop at his neighbor.

IMHO it is much more likely that Irma will track up the East coast.  Perhaps a glancing blow to Florida.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

If you look at the history of "similar" storms that is what has happened.

Irma has a long way to go. Early model runs are often wrong on the storm track. Texas does not need a second hit.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Matthew.  My mom is about a 1/2 mile from the intracoastal in Jupiter and with that monster coming in she decided to go to a friend of her's house further west.  The friend lost power for several hours.  My mom's place never did.

Yes  and taking a look at where the track controling high pressure sytems will be located as it moves this way.
