Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Hurricane Irma

Shapin' up like the '35 Labor Day storm, no?

Sometimes Ma Nature just blows.

We've learned recently that the government has figured out how to generate and control hurricanes and is using them to keep American minorities under their control. They created Katrina and Harvey for racial purposes. I expect that we'll soon hear from 'those who know' about how Irma is another government creation. The liberals want Puerto Rico to become a state while the conservatives don't want all those people added to the general welfare roles. The government created Irma to destroy PR so the people will become refugees and scattered through the US to become welfare voters, voting Dem, of course.

This has to be true. I read it on the internet.

That's only because you have an extraordinary wife.

Yeah, and who do you see saving all those minority folks from the flood waters........some White dudes.

Some of those computer generated tracks are not exactly encouraging for coastal Georgia and South Carolina.

Shaping up to be a real bitch. Stay safe.

I'm betting it rids up the east coast of Florida and slams into the North/South Carolina

If you see Jim Cantore in your hood, you know you're in trouble!

Any chance left that it will turn out to sea? Or is it guaranteed landfall?

I'd rather it didn't

Mike

Nothing's guaranteed with a hurricane except that nothing's guaranteed.

Mike

most likely it will come right up the middle of Florida. It's wide enough to cover the whole state.

yep....Florida is 140 miles wide, storm is 400 miles wide......not a good match.....not much gas
and no bottled water here....Interstate 75 is more a parking lot than a highway......

Stay safe, Sam...

FIL lives in Orlando. Flying him out tomorrow. This storm is not to be taken lightly. Even if it doesn't blow you away, likely loss of electricity, tornados, rain, lack of gasoline, etc make evacauation look good.

Just got turned on to this link. Move the map for a good look at Irma.

Great link!

Did you notice that there is another depression following Irma. WTF? That's not funny. Must be Trumps fault for pulling out of Paris Accords. Didn't have this crap with Obama. Katrina was Bush's fault.

+1 big time. We are still helping the folks down east from the flooding from Matthew. The Tar River area is still a long way from full recovery.

It is a great link. The one behind Irma is Jose. There's also a 3rd one kicking up in the gulf. The Creator ain't happy right now!!

Jose will most likely turn North and blow out in the North Atlantic.

Wife is driving up on the Turnpike from Miami. She is in Orlando now. The Turnpike is at a crawl. No gas at any stations along the way. She is fine, just irritated that I did not talk her into leaving Miami yesterday. Like I didn't try. lol Stubborn women.
Here in Gainesville, it's a freaking zoo. Streets are full. The Walmart down the street had a packed parking lot at 5 AM. Gas has jumped a dollar a gallon, and all there is available right now is high test..
I got two more 6 gallon cans for my Son's generator at his business, just in case. He has large freezers to keep going, about $10K worth of product in them.
Stopped to get a few items for her at Publix. No beer, no bottled water, no bread, very little in the way of canned meat or vegetables. All the frozen food you want though.
