as harsh as it it is i hope it goes straight through my fl brehs and weakens rather than hitting coastal GA/SC with the full force when they ain't really ready for it.

These models keep going everywhere... I think this storm is gonna catch a lot off guard because of how the media is reporting on it

we have a prophet posting among us.



if irma is worse in every way than andrew, why is irma a cat 4 and andrew a cat 5?

:ohhh: on the prophetic brehs

Irma is much larger than Andrew and has been category 5 longer than any recorded storm. Even if it ends up a cat 4 that's after chewing and spitting out numerous islands. Unfortunately Irma has an opportunity to skirt/mostly skirt Cuba then spend 24 hrs or so strengthening again over warm water, then hitting FLA real directly
And sitting there unlike Andrew.

Are you not seeing the numbers?

Irma is wider, faster, and will spend an entire day at least sitting on top of Florida




this is why i booked my ticket, hopefully i can get out - the aftermath and inconvenience of not having power for a few days is what's getting to me.

The storm is larger and will spend way more time over the state. It's a cat 4 that's only a few mph less than the minimum for a cat 5. I'll be honest, I'm food.

yes, that is why i'm asking why andrew is listed as a 5 and irma only a 4.
a 5 is worse than a 4.
It's not just wind speed. It's the length of time and damage as well
The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale rates a hurricane's intensity using wind speed and storm surge, which is the abnormal rise in sea level accompanying a hurricane or other intense storm. The scale also estimates the potential damage and flooding expected along the coast from a hurricane landfall.

I have a bad bad feeling about a sudden shift to the East, the 2 pm Euro and the Euros on Saturday are what I'm still watching out for, Hurricanes in this subsection of the country love sudden twists and turn
