Hurricane Irma strengthening in the Atlantic

My weather app shows Irma is back up to Cat 5


For some reason I can't get my satellite image to upload. Anyways it's Cat 5. Winds are 162mph

It's back to a cat 5 again-4 or 5 still horrific. Said to sustain or maybe pick up more speed between Fl and Cuba.


Track shows a cat 5 shifted to the west.

That's confirmed Violet thanks !!!

That shift to the west just makes it worse, the storm surge is pushed by the east side and the most damaging winds are also on that side.

Ok I have the image now and I'll get the one from NHC uploaded as well

Wonder where all the gators go with all the water which is about to be dumped inland.

They go crazy.

a reply to: violet
Yeah. That's the eye. The storm is wider than the peninsula though. By a bunch.

After Wilma, I had a couple in my pond.

I called the wildlife people. They told me not to worry, that they will leave shortly.

They did.

Hardly any point in focusing on the predicted track. It encompasses the entire peninsula

Which is why this graphic may be more illustrative.

im in naples fl where irma has its gps set to, and besides gators we have to worry about pythons which have agressively invaded the everglades.

Seeing on social media that hurricane Jose has been upgraded to a category 4, nearly a category 5 and warnings for Barbuda, Saint Martin and Saint Barts.

a reply to: MysticPearl
Yes Jose is a cat 4 and very close to being a cat 5 now. Two mph off of that upgrade I do believe . 155mph currently. 157 is cat 5

We might not be done.
