Hurricane Irma Projected To Reach Category 5 And Hit The East Coast \u2013 Panic Prepping Begins In Florida<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

\"\"On Monday, Hurricane Irma strengthened into a category 4 hurricane<\/a>, and some meteorologists are projecting that it will eventually become a category 5 storm before it eventually makes landfall in the United States.\u00a0 And since a \u201ccategory 6\u201d<\/a> has not been created yet, category 5 is as high as the scale goes at the moment.\u00a0 Over the past couple of days, the track of the storm has shifted \u201ca lot further to the west\u201d<\/a>, and at this point it appears that Miami is the most likely to take the full force of the hurricane.\u00a0 But as we have seen, trying to forecast the behavior of hurricanes is not an exact science.\u00a0 Irma may never become a category 5 storm, and it may never hit the U.S. at all.\u00a0 Or it may zip past Florida to the south and end up making landfall in the Gulf of Mexico.\u00a0 The truth is that we just don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

But for the moment things are not looking good for Florida, and a state of emergency has already been declared for every single county in the state<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

On Monday afternoon, Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency<\/strong> for every county in Florida in anticipation of Irma. A state of emergency was also declared in Puerto Rico earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

Another scenario still on the table is that Irma curve northward and miss the East Coast entirely. This would still generate large surf and rip currents along the East Coast. However, this scenario is the least likely to occur at this point.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And as I mentioned above, many are projecting that Irma will become a category 5 storm just a few days from now.\u00a0 The following comes from the Express<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n
