im right in its path but by the time it hits me it'll just be thunderstorms

Irma appears to be making at least...some landfall in Cuba at the moment...which is a good thing, as any landfall it makes will lower it's power...so to speak.











Further here are the latest storm tracking models. The two lower ECMF models, in the third graphic down, (European models) are seeming to be the most accurate.

and now its back to category 5!

Yeah they said that 'might' happen.


/e I just checked again...it's still at Cat 4. Assuming it does turn north soon, they said once it's back over water, it may go back up to Cat 5.


That animation up above is updated every 30 minutes ...so that's where Irma is at the time of that post.
