Hurricane Irma on the way.

As Han Solo would say..."I have a bad feeling about this."

I have been watching this storm and it could be a
very bad one. Several models are saying it will
hit CAT 5.

It's likely to miss you malaise but it could be heading
for the US east coast.

This one bears watching.

it could still go out to sea, but that's looking less likely. Tracks have it going anywhere between Miami (and one is right over Mar-a-Loco) and Cape Cod. They're all over the place right now.

The models need some more time.

I think they will have a more solid feel
after the weekend.

who accurately predicted Harvey's landfall, who says that Irma will hit somewhere around the Jacksonville, Florida to southern Georgia area. It's out of the range of the condo that she's selling, with the closing taking place in very early October, so she's breathing a sigh of relief. I tell her that it's too early to predict anything, but she is looking for some sort of comfort here.
