IRMA

This might be the strongest storm to hit the US ever...
I have never seen a lower pressure in the Atlantic..Scary stuff..

Harvey was not as strong storm, slow moving at wet...This is a different beast..

Holy crap this storm is big.  Jason where do you see landfall?

anywhere from Key West  up to Wilmington, NC...Current guidance has it paralleling the Fla coast then going into the Carolina's..  My sister lives on South Beach   and my close friend lives in Wilmington..This is not a storm to mess with..

Hopefully they all stay safe, Jason. Back-to-back record storms WTF!

We're heading to Ocean City MD on Friday ---- go figure

 I started following this storm a week ago..I had to do a double take. the central low pressure was shocking..this is the type of storm you see in the western pacific.. one of the super typhoons

WTF? Every time I fly Delta they claim delays for weather!

Crazy ass storm. My brother and his family are near Tampa and they bugged out today to head inland / eastern FL since the storm looks like it's going to hit Tampa area the hardest.

Can't imagine why anyone would live in Florida, even without the hurricanes.
