Hurricane Irma hits Florida

Postby PorkChop » Sep 10, '17, 5:46 am

Just been announced on BBC News.

The live webcams in Miami are absolutely crazy already, and it's set to get worse throughout the next couple of days as the hurricane moves in. 12ft storm surge apparently.

Mother Nature is terrifying.

It's great that California doesn't really get hurricanes, because I basically live in a forest of Eucalyptus trees which sort of absorb rain like a sponge and get heavy and fall when exposed to high winds. I've seen crushed roofs all over my neighborhood after a storm that was considered "strong" by SoCal standards. Can't even imagine what magnitude of fuck your shit up a legit hurricane would cause over here.

I get apprehensive by 55-60mph winds that are due tomorrow night which is minuscule to the devastation on the news in America, destruction that could take years to rebuild. Thoughts with all those suffering over there.
