Hurricane Irma

Hurricane Irma from space. That's Puerto Rico just catching dawn to the immediate left of the storm. It's 100 miles end-to-end.

History repeating itself.  Seven years ago, almost to the day, there were three hurricanes in the Gulf/Atlantic.  They were named I, J, K:  Igor, Julia & Karl in order of development, but Karl, Igor & Julia from left to right.

Fast-forward to 2017 and we have three more I, J, K hurricanes: Irma, Jose & Katia.  Nearly the same size, in the same order, on nearly the same day.

I wonder if you could go back and see similar storms developing like this across the Midwest/Plains over the years at the same/similar times.

 
Good news is that Jose may likely dissipate as it follows the wake of Irma and potentially starts interacting with Irma. Let's hope so any ways...

Someone needs educated.....


 
Been talking with my dad a bunch. He was a meteorologist in the air force, and did tracking when he was in Hawaii. He thinks we should be ok where we are. I'm leaning towards riding it out, we're well supplied, 30 miles inland, and 30 feet above sea level.

 
My understanding is the NE side of the hurricane is the worst for wind? If so, the east side of Florida is screwed as this thing heads north up Florida.
