Can't leave out the Palmetto Bugs and Snakes.
I saw that but couldn't figure out the picture source or why a Russian stream would have it before anywhere else.
Maybe they had a flight go by for some reason?
*Edit*
This seems to be the source, they had a helicopter survive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=108&v=l-2KhmOCtvg

Ion cannon from space?
Would have to somehow cool the water as a hurricane goes through it, or just find some way to nerf the energy.

Homes in the Caribbean made out of wood? That seems insane. In Puerto Rico everything is cement cause of how often we get hurricanes and tropical storms.

So looking down the twitter sourced above. I found a picture citing a hurricane Katia. This hurricanee formed in the gulf and will head over Mexico. How often does this type of storm happen. Also With Harvey having just been in the gulf shouldn't the temperatures of the water be lowered. How did a hurricane form there so soon after?

I believe this is the first time 3 hurricanes will have been active in the atlantic/gulf at the same time.

Good news, I got a hold of my mother in St. Thomas and she's fine.
I was a nervous wreck these past few hours. Constantly calling for hours and finally got through.

Awesome news. Glad she's ok!
Switching to green energy would be a start.
The power of the storm is just insane.

Checking in. Still living in Jupiter.
The models show Irma heading east enough for the winds to barely touch us, but some folks think it'll be a direct hit on Mar-A-Lago? If it's the latter, we're screwed.

So friggin' cool. Terrifying, but cool.
Not if Trump and the GOP keep cutting science funding.

What models could you possibly be looking at that indicated that Jupiter which is right on Florida's east coast will "barely" be touched by the winds?!?

What a great observation by the smartest and bestest president with the biggest hands

Just to reinforce how strong a cat 5 is, here is a picture from Barbuda:
That was a reinforced steel cell phone tower...and Irma took her down like she's Godzilla.

"There are things you can't fight, acts of God. You see a hurricane coming, you have to get out of the way. But when you're in a Jaeger, suddenly, you can fight the hurricane. You can win."
We need Charlie Hunnam, stat.
That doesn't sound good at all
Living in the orange zone, we're prepared. But it also won't be too fun.

That's what a tweet sounds like when a person is unable to empathize.
This hurricane, its real windy!

Most powerful, not largest.... but I think complexities like that are lost on him.
It could be.
Regardless, it's looking like it will at least be a Cat 4. Which is still catastrophic.
No it would not be awesome.
It would be like sneaking up on the Grim Reaper himself to give him a wedgie and a wet willy.
Naw. Hell naw.
90% destruction would do that. The pics and videos I have seen are crazy. Sadly I can't see how only 1 person died, I hope I am wrong.

Concrete? They should be fine. I don't remember if that's super near the coast though.
Seems pretty damn near based on gmaps. Within a few miles?
Concrete is a relief tho

Not really. Has happened last in 2010 and 2008 before that.
As the name implies, Delray Beach is on the coast. In fact, parts of Delray Beach are well within Palm Beach County's mandatory evacuation area.

Good!
Fuck that's horrible.
America sucks so I don't have much hope for Trump but hopefully some other better countries step up and help them rebuild.
