Category 6? If Hurricane Irma Becomes The Strongest Hurricane In History, It Could Wipe Entire Cities Off The Map
Published on: September 2, 2017
Meteorologists have been shocked at how
rapidly Hurricane Irma has been strengthening, and they are already
warning that if it hits the United States as a high-level category 5
storm the devastation would be absolutely unprecedented. Of course, we
are already dealing with
the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey,
and many experts are already telling us that the economic damage done
by that storm will easily surpass any other disaster in all of U.S.
history. But there is a very real possibility that Hurricane Irma could
be even worse. According to the National Hurricane Center, at 5 PM on
Friday Irma already had sustained winds of 130 miles per hour. But it
is still very early, and as you will see below, next week it is expected
to potentially develop into a category 5 storm with winds of 180 miles
per hour or more.
I suppose that it is appropriate that such a powerful storm has a
very powerful name. In old German, the name “Irma” actually means
“war goddess”…
