Re: HURRICANE IRMA LOUNGE

Experimental IBM Deep Thunder model now progging a worst case scenario for Miami, S Florida.

906mb Cat 5 landfall near Key Largo at 04z Sunday Sep 10. Surge alone would demolish much of the region. Winds would likely exceed ability for even the most well-built buildings, high rises, condos to withstand having windows blown out, structural damage. Cranes would likely sway into buildings, or crash into and on them. Etc.

*EXPERIMENTAL MODEL. AS AS WITH ALL MODELS, USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION!*
