Looks Like Hurricane MARIA Will Soon Be a Threat.

Tropical Storm MARIA is projected to strengthen into a hurricane, and follow roughly the same track as Category 5 hurricane IRMA did, 2 weeks ago.

Tropical Storm Maria formed Saturday in the western Atlantic Ocean, prompting a hurricane watch for areas battered by Hurricane Irma last week.

Maria is about 590 miles east-southeast of the Lesser Antilles and is packing maximum sustained winds of 50 mph. The storm is moving toward the Caribbean at 19 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Tropical storm watches are posted for Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominica and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The hurricane watch covers Antigua, Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, Montserrat and Guadeloupe.

Hopefully MARIA will steer more to the NW than IRMA did, and eventually turn North then Northeast, missing the U.S. mainland. But at this point, the next 5 days for Maria, look eerily similar to the path that hurricane Irma followed, as she strengthened.

Don't worry. Everybody knows hurricanes can't make hard right turns.

They DO make hard right turns, Phage. Predicting the exact location of where that turn will occur, is beyond our science.

Except for...like...Irma.
Right?

Oh, sorry. You said "exact." For me, close works for horseshoes, nukes, and hurricanes.

Oooh. Maria, you got to watch out for anyone names Maria. Woman have the right to change their mind on things, changing it's direction can happen at will.

That might put a damper on the Predictions and Prophesies forum.

Good idea.

Maria is t a hurrucane yet. It probably will be in a couple of days though.

Meh, the MSM will have to pick something else to feed the internet, hurricanes are used up.

wile the islands down there may get some trouble this ones a miss .
Not nearly the same track as Irma .
Will turn north before it gets that close to the US looks like .
Its track is west north west irma stayed west till the last mint .
But even still it will be a weak storm as well probly never even get to cat 2 or just touch it .

Being in Panama city fl Every one was all panicking OMG we are all going to die .
I just kept saying relax as long as it hits south fl we will be fine .

Well we got maybe a inch of rain at most and the wind was so light no one even lost power .
Damage caused by Irma in Panama city was all self inflicted as people freaked out .

Now if it had gotten into the Gulf as a cat 4 and had the same track except 100 miles more west I would have headed for the hills .

Missed by a mile ( well 100 miles ) hit Tallahassee fl 100 miles east of here as a tropical storm

I've posted this many times before.. There will always, every year, year after year, small and large... destructive or not... be the hurricane/tropical storm season

So, are we seeing just more media coverage and prediction models here, or is this something relatively different, given this year seems to have it in for that particular area with regard to tropical storms and potential hurricanes?

Lets not forget the severity of the ones we've already seen.

Maybe the oceans are changed in ways that we cannot resolve now. or is it just run of the mill?

I've noted changes in the weather for years. and it's still getting worse. Just because in some or most places, it's not catastrophic, doesn't mean it isn't all part of the entire global climate evolution.

Natural or man made, or caused by cows farts, who cares, is it something to be wary of, or just everyone by windmills and boats?
