Now that Harvey is relatively gone where does the oilam think Irma will hit? How hard? How many states?
Didn’t even know there was an Irma
Hopefully “out to sea”
CA -“Now that Harvey is relatively gone where does the oilam think Irma will hit?”
The forecast for next week – is Carribean Islands & then unto Puerto Rico.
“How hard?”
Right now Catergory 3. It could increase!
When did the oilam become meteorologists? And why would you check with anyone other than a meteorologist?
It’s 10+ days before any potential impact, which means it’s virtually impossible to know where Irma will go. That said, the Computer models I have been looking at, the GFS, ECMWF etc have been trending towards an out to sea track. (I’ll try to update later)
huju: Lol!!! So funny 🙂

Yea, I first learned about Irma through this thread. B’esrat Hashem she will fizzle away far out in ocean.Hurricanes have been around for as long as anyone knows. They apparently were so bad several hundred years that the American Indians didn’t live on the coast (which is why the first Europeans underestimated their population) and ships had to avoid transatlantic crossings during hurricane season. Hurricanes are not “news”.
akuperma: That’s so COOL! Wow. I had no clue that Native Americans preferred to live inland (and did).
Oh yea, you just reminded me… even when Irma happens in the ocean, it affects humans on ships, including some current cruises.
I guess Europeans preferred the coasts because of trade routes, for one thing. Traveling wasn’t too easy back then too. Hmm.
Thanks for the lesson 🙂
Akuperma, I’m curious as to your source . Just looking at the NY area, Indian tribes occupied all of Long island and Manhattan Island, so clearly they didn’t avoid the coasts.
Indians also lived on all of the Caribbean islands.Everywhere the English landed, they encountered indians on the coasts. A special gift that the English and spanish brought did lead to depopulation of the Native American people. Smallpox.
It was the scourge of 17th century Europe and the indians, having never been exposed to it, had no resistance and were devastated.Granted it’s possible that some lived on the coast and others didn’t. Some lived near the coast perhaps, and maybe only seasonally.
It doesn’t have to be one way or another. Various opinionsay be accurate. Claiming all Native Americans as something is a great generalization.
Thank you
Yes. Very true about the infectious diseases wiping out Native Americans.
Another rebuke…
When I learned about Native Americans, we were taught that they saw the sail boats headed for their land but since they had never before seen such ships (and it was beyond their comprehension to expect humans traveling towards them), they believed the ships to be sea creatures.
For weeks and possibly longer, Native Americans watched the ships, or sea creatures, approach land. —This information goes against the claim that Native Americans didn’t live on the coast.
The title should have been “Hurricane Irma.”
R4nd0m3x: Back when August 31st 2017 existed in the present moment, Irma could have approached the US as a Tropical Storm, or it could have dissipated completely before reaching a Hurricane Status high enough for its title to be used in the thread title.
If you would like, you are welcome to create a thread titled, “Hurricane Irma.”
Thank you for visiting A,B,T Motors, where your car comes first!
Irma!
Coffee – my thoughts are with you, hope you’re safe!
Couldn’t remember if you had, figured a brocha never hurts.
For Ubiq -“The forecast for next week – is Carribean Islands & then unto Puerto Rico.”
I’m right again!
FLORIDA PEOPLE !
Advice from a FL hurricane veteran:
EMPTY YOUR DISHWASHER AND PUT ANYTHING YOU WANT TO PRESERVE IN THERE. It’s waterproof and secured to cabinets so it’s more likely to survive a storm.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
(Copy and paste onto your wall to spread the word.)Copy and paste onto your wall to spread the word
How would that spread the word? Also wouldn’t the glue leave a residue?
Meno,
When your wall gets dislodged from your house and crashes into your neighbor’s living room, they’ll be able to read it then.
Meno, actually I received the message via text from a friend. It’s good advice regardless, and I wanted to preserve the message as it arrived to me 🙂
Don’t people say that they saw the writing on the wall?
It makes sense.
by the time im reading this topic, hurricane Irma has increased to category 5 with winds up to 175 MPH.
By the way did you know that it was really meant to be called hurricane Israel but some senate people had it taken down from the name list?…HURRICANE WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT…
…STORM SURGE WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT…* LOCATIONS AFFECTED
– Miami
– Miami Beach
– Key Biscayne
– Perrine
– Princeton* WIND
– LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Equivalent Cat 4 Hurricane force wind
– Peak Wind Forecast: 110-130 mph with gusts to 170 mph
– Window for Tropical Storm force winds: Saturday morning
until early Monday morning
– Window for Hurricane force winds: Saturday evening until
Sunday evening– CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Extreme
– The wind threat has remained nearly steady from the
previous assessment.

roof and wall failures. Complete destruction of mobile
homes. Damage greatly accentuated by large airborne
projectiles. Locations may be uninhabitable for weeks or
months.
– Numerous large trees snapped or uprooted along with fences
and roadway signs blown over.
– Many roads impassable from large debris, and more within
urban or heavily wooded places. Many bridges, causeways,
and access routes impassable.
– Widespread power and communications outages.* STORM SURGE
– LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Life-threatening storm surge possible
– Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for 7-10 feet
above ground somewhere within surge prone areas
– Window of concern: Begins early Saturday afternoon– CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Extreme

Evacuation efforts should now be underway.
– Life-threatening inundation is possible. Failure to heed
evacuation orders may result in serious injury, significant
loss of life, or immense human suffering. Leave immediately
if evacuation orders are given for your area. Consider
voluntary evacuation if recommended. Poor decisions may
result in being cut off or needlessly risk lives.– POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Devastating to Catastrophic
– Widespread deep inundation, with storm surge flooding
greatly accentuated by powerful battering waves. Structural
damage to buildings, with many washing away. Damage greatly
compounded from considerable floating debris. Locations may
be uninhabitable for an extended period.

severely flooded. Flood control systems and barriers may
become stressed.
– Extreme beach erosion. New shoreline cuts possible.
– Massive damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers.
Numerous small craft broken away from moorings with many
lifted onshore and stranded.So scary! At least it went down to a Category 4
right now still cat 5 with 165 mph winds may weaken may not very hard predicting these storms what is scary is that its over extremely warm water keep davening that it misses
Chochom: “By the way did you know that it was really meant to be called hurricane Israel but some senate people had it taken down from the name list?”
Couldn’t be. They alternate male and female names. Harvey and Jose are male, Irma is female. Maybe Israel was suggested a different year?Yes it was a different year. At the time it was one of the most common names in Mexico so it was an automatic “in”. Adolph was also on the list but it was taken down because it might have been considered offensive to some.
By the way, i heard that a tsunami is happening in mexico right now……and an earthquake too. the biggest one of the century, reportedly
It’s supposed t hit Miami tomorrow on shabbos
right now looks to make land fall west of miami and strongest winds look to be south and west of miami including the florida keys. PLEASE DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE ANYTHIN JUST A TINY SHIFT BACK MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. KEEP DAVENING THAT IT MISSES MIAMI.
PSA – always use the latest information to make decisions. Details like this can change.

baruch hashem looks like miami will be spared from the worst. florida town of naples looks to be hit the worst.
hitI also read about the names in the Yated. The names Israel and Adolf had been considered and taken down.
Hazit!!! 😭
From the topic in 2011 called – “Same gender marriage – Immoral?
“Health – 1. The Talmud says that this is one of the crimes for which the Great Flood was visited upon the world and that one of the reasons Hashem doesn’t bring destruction to the world is because Goyim who are Toeivas don’t write Kesubos one to another. (This means legal marriage!) Are you in favor of destruction of the world?”
Right again!
Take a look at the News nowadays!
