UPDATE: HURRICANE IRMA has strengthened to Category 5 with core winds at over 176 MPH and gusting close to 200 MPH.
Official tracking agencies and our own modeling are in general agreement that Major Category Hurricane Irma will continue it’s westerly track, causing severe issues along its’ track. This Hurricane will approach the Florida Straits by this Saturday, September 9. Official tracking models and projections from the National Hurricane Center are showing a northerly turn sometime on Saturday, September 9 and into Sunday, September 10. Due to this track projection by official agencies, we are now requesting that ALL PERSONS who live in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina and east Texas give this dangerous storm your full attention. There are some variables that may affect the final track of this storm, so EVERYONE in Florida, the Southeastern States and the Gulf Coast States should be making preparations for some level of effects from a Major Category Hurricane starting as early as Friday, September 8 and extending through late next week.
