These people may very well end up having to brave the storm STRANDED IN THEIR CARS ON THE HIGHWAYS and that is NOT a good situation!

PLEASE, PLEASE KEEP THE RESIDENTS, TOURISTS IN FLORIDA IN YOUR PRAYERS!!

Miami is now in the ‘worst possible position’ as Hurricane Irma heads for the US mainland. With the storm barreling toward the tip of Florida for perhaps a catastrophic blow this weekend, the US National Hurricane Center forecast reported that the most likely path of the eye of the storm had shifted. The center said it had become likely that Irma will make landfall on Saturday in southern Florida as a dangerous major hurricane and bring ‘life-threatening storm surge and wind impacts’ to much of the state.

‘It is wider than our entire state and could cause major and life-threatening impacts from coast to coast. Regardless of which coast you live on, be prepared to evacuate,’

AccuWeather founder, Dr Joel N Myers, said there was no way the U.S. was going to avoid another catastrophic weather event.

Florida Highways Jammed In Mass Exodus

As Hurricane Irma inches closer to the Sunshine State, Floridians have begun a mass exodus north, causing backups and slowdowns on the interstate. Thousands of cars have hit the road with some gas stations running out of fuel. The storm could strike the highly-populated eastern coast of Florida, and based on the projected path of the Category 5 storm it could be one of the largest mass evacuations in US history.

Irma is Producing one of the largest mass exoduses in US history

Miami is now in the ‘worst possible position’ as Hurricane Irma heads for the US mainland. With the storm barreling toward the tip of Florida for perhaps a catastrophic blow this weekend, the US National Hurricane Center forecast reported that the most likely path of the eye of the storm had shifted. The center said it had become likely that Irma will make landfall on Saturday in southern Florida as a dangerous major hurricane and bring ‘life-threatening storm surge and wind impacts’ to much of the state.

‘It looks like it’s shifting, even though it may be just 20 miles, it puts Miami right in the worst possible position,’ CNN meteorologist Tom Sater said.’Because when you look at the formidable storm, the strongest winds, the strongest storm surge, the bands of heavy rain are always in that north, northeastern quadrant.’ 


‘We’re running out of time’: Miami is turned into a ghost town as Floridians wait in bumper-to-bumper traffic to flee Hurricane Irma’s wrath after the storm leveled entire islands and killed at least 18 in the Caribbean

  • Meteorologists are now predicting that Miami will bear the brunt of Hurricane Irma when it hits the mainland
  •  
  • Millions are hitting the roads to get out of the eye of the storm, expected to make landfall Sunday morning in South Florida, with winds and storm surge as early as Saturday night 
  •  
  • The entire southern tip of Florida is under evacuation, and the orders continue county by county all the way up the east coast of the state 
  •  
  • The governor of Georgia has also ordered an evacuation of the state’s coastal areas, including Savannah
  •   
  • The storm has the potential to do $125billion worth of damage when it strikes Miami – and possibly much more
  •  
  • Category 4 storm has caused devastation in the Caribbean, killing at least 18 and leveling entire islands
  •  
  • Extensive damage has been reported on Barbuda and St Martin, with over 90 per cent of buildings wrecked
  •  
  • The storm is currently battering the northeastern coast of Cuba

Miami is now in the ‘worst possible position’ as Hurricane Irma heads for the U.S. mainland.

With the storm barreling toward the southern tip of Florida for perhaps a catastrophic blow this weekend, the U.S. National Hurricane Center forecast reported that the most likely path of the eye of the storm had shifted and that it could hit Florida earlier than expected. 

The center said it had become likely that Irma will make landfall late Saturday in southern Florida as a dangerous major hurricane and bring ‘life-threatening storm surge and wind impacts’ to much of the state.

‘It looks like it’s shifting, even though it may be just 20 miles, it puts Miami right in the worst possible position,’ CNN meteorologist Tom Sater said.

‘Because when you look at the formidable storm, the strongest winds, the strongest storm surge, the bands of heavy rain are always in that north, northeastern quadrant.’

Just before 5am ET Friday, the hurricane was centered about 55 miles northwest of Great Inagua Island and 495 miles southeast of Miami. 

Irma weakened from a Category 5 storm to Category 4 on Friday morning with maximum sustained winds near 155 mph, but it remained a powerful hurricane and it could intensify again as it enters warmer than normal waters around Florida. Irma’s core is expected to hit Florida early Sunday morning, but its tropical force storm winds can arrive as early as Saturday morning.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami issued hurricane warnings for South Florida and the Keys late Thursday night as Irma tracks toward the state. A storm surge has also been issued for the same area.

Evacuation orders are in effect for the southern tip of Florida almost all the way up the east coast and for the Georgia coast.

GEORGIA 

Georgia ordered the evacuation of the state’s coastal areas. It applies to all areas east of Interstate 95, including the city of Savannah.  

Florida Gov. Rick Scott has been pleading with his citizens all week to evacuate if they are ordered to, and to prepare – no matter the direction of the storm.

At a Friday morning press conference, his message grew even more dire.

‘We’re running out of time. The storm is almost here. If you are in an evacuation storm you need to go now,’ he said.

He added: ‘This is a catastrophic storm that our state has never seen. We can rebuild your home but we can’t rebuild your life. Protecting life is our absolute top priority. Our number one priority is protecting everyone’s life. Everyone’s life is important. No resource or expense will be spared to protect families.’

While current projects show the storm hitting Miami and then going up the state’s east coast towards Florida, Scott said that all Floridians needed to prepare because the storm’s so large and powerful that it will cause serious winds and storm surge on both coasts.   

‘It is wider than our entire state and could cause major and life-threatening impacts from coast to coast. Regardless of which coast you live on, be prepared to evacuate,’ Scott said. 

He ordered all state offices, schools, colleges and universities to close from Friday until Monday to free up space for evacuation shelters and staging. Most school districts and universities had already voluntarily agreed to close due to the looming arrival of Hurricane Irma over the weekend – but many school districts and colleges in north central and northwest Florida had remained open.

More than a half-million people were racing to flee on Thursday and live Google traffic maps showed massive delays on crowded highways stretching from Miami to Savannah. Gas trucks were also brought in with police escorts in a bid to help get residents fueled up so they could evacuate. 

‘Floridians are strong and resilient. In times like this we band together and help each other. We will continue working around the clock to help you prepare and after the storm we’ll be here to lift each other up and recover. We will make it through this together. Florida is an amazing melting pot of loving people,’ Scott said. 

Normally quick trips turned into daylong journeys for Floridians on crowded highways amid a constant search for gasoline and lodging. 

Airline seats out of Florida were in short supply as well but American, United and Delta all said Thursday that they were adding extra flights in the next couple days.

An armed man caused extra panic and delays at Miami airport on Thursday night after he was shot by police – prompting the evacuation of an entire terminal. 

Evacuation orders are multiplying by the hour in Florida. Currently the entire southern tip of Florida is under evacuation, and those orders continue county by county almost all the way up the east coast. 

Officials say that more evacuations could be called as Irma draws closer.

On Thursday, the governor of Georgia also ordered the evacuation of the state’s coastal areas, including the large city of Savannah.  The last time Georgia was struck by a hurricane of force Category 3 or higher happened in 1898.

As additional evacuations continue to be announced, Irma could potentially create one of the largest mass exoduses in the country’s history. 

Forecasters warn the storm could hit anywhere from Florida to North Carolina over the next few days. The most severe impacts will be felt on the eastern side of Florida, including Miami, West Palm Beach, Melbourne, Daytona Beach and Jacksonville.

AccuWeather founder, Dr Joel N Myers, said there was no way the U.S. was going to avoid another catastrophic weather event.

        ReadMathew7,

        Welcome to the internet.

        Everyone has seen the Bush Sr. speech, it’s the building block of a lot of conspiracy theories.

        Your second video is from the History Channel, which is government controlled MSM, and not a good source of info. HAARP has been around a lot longer than 1992, for example.

        This might all be new to you, but you really don’t have to spam it all over a website where everyone already believes in NWO, FEMA prison camps, Martial Law coming soon, shape shifting reptilians, Nibiru, HAARP, Flat Earth, Hollow Earth, Roswell, MIBs, the moon landing hoax, the poisoning of our food, death from cell phones, Obama being the Anti-christ, etc.

        You’re really just taking up space and making yourself look obnoxious.

          The Destruction of Edom

          3: The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

          4: Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

          15: For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

      Probably should have left before the chaos.

      “Hey mom, Irma is supposed to hit in the next 6 days, maybe we should leave town?”

      “No son, we’ll wait until the last minute so we can die in a traffic jam on the freeway. My job is more important than your life.”

    • Kreidebrei

      If you look at pictures it seems that the highway in the opposite direction is empty and NOT used for evacuation. How stupid is that – or is it intended??

      • Jeffery Pritchett

        I dont know, but you’re right, it should be open to evacuation traffic since people shouldn’t be going in.

        Maybe for rescue vehicles to keep going in? But they should still allow at least half the road way open to evacuations.

      • Hi NSA, kiss my artichoke

        And where is the military with C-130′s and C-5′s?
        Where’s the duce and a half trucks?
        Why are there not emergency refueling stations set up?
        Seems like a lot of common sense things are being left to Irma’s wrath.
        NOT blaming the guys and galls in uniform… just the idiots that command them.

    • Canderson

      This is manufactured.

    • wiseoldlady

      Many should be flying out of the state if the highways are so jam packed.

      My parents had a 7,000 square foot beautiful home in Bradenton around 1980 right on the gulf. Many 13,000 square foot homes-mansions were built beside them. This summer, in July, my daughter was there and MOST of those homes-mansions are now for sale. I think the weather has played a great role in all this. When I was there in 2006 the area was more healthy looking than what I saw in the facetime videos my daughter sent me from this past July. Why….the geo-engineering….chem trails. I remember tons of tree frogs would engulf your vehicles every morning decades ago. Still have many relatives living in Florida from Miami all the way up. Hope they all stay safe. Just some thoughts to share.
