Well, with Hurricane Irma going to Category Five (also known as Category Jesus Christ Almighty!), evacuations being ordered in Florida, and martial law being declared in the US Virgin Islands I figure this one warrants its own topic.

Holy Shit!
Yeah she's a big bad bitch. Puerto Rico looks like it's going to have a bad time and likely Cuba too. At the moment it looks like we'll just get a brush with the southern edge where I'm staying in DR. So I'm going to stay put and leave Friday like I originally planned.
