Hurricane Irma is hurtling toward the eastern US faster than meteorological models anticipated. According to the latest readings from NOAA, the storm will probably make landfall in Southeastern Florida next weekend, or perhaps earlier \u2013 that is, unless wind patterns intervene and spare residents of Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach from flooding and winds witnessed in Texas and Louisiana, according to NOAA forecasts.<\/p>\n

\u2026Bloomberg chief energy correspondent Javier Blas<\/a> noted that the Hurricane has \u201cshifted a lot further west,\u201d and that, according to the latest forecasts, there\u2019s still a small chance that Irma strikes the Gulf of Mexico, compounding the devastation that Harvey left behind.<\/p>\n
