Tropical Storm Irma - now Hurricane Irma

[Rat]

Irma is so powerful it is registering on seismic equipment? It is actually registering on the Richter scale.

This is media sensationalism. Strong hurricanes typically do this, we just don't hear about it.

Just watched video of Irma rattling Anguilla.
BOY!!!!!
225mph winds made Harvey look like a gentle summer breeze.

Total devastation.

St Martin too.

Sitting here at Keesler AFB in Biloxi Mississippi watching how this plays out. Supposed to be in Panama City Beach on Sunday for the winter. May sit here until Tuesday.

I bet recon finds even stronger Irma when it gets there. Looking as impressive as ever. Probably going to make a run at 190-200mph [emoji33]

That is insane...maybe like Harvey where they had add a color for the rain amounts, we'll now have Cat6??

About to have a mass exodus of F16s from Shaw AFB in SC. Had a meeting today and the prediction is that it is going to be bad here. Don't blame the AF for wanting to move 3 billion dollars worth of jets.

If they let me ride in the jet.. I'll pitch in $20 for gas!

I really didn't think I could laugh on this thread, but that is some funny stuff

Glad I could add some humor to an otherwise bleak situation.


More seriously though, weather guys, is it safe to assume anything that forms is going to mature and develop ? Conditions just seem ripe.
