Daily Mail: 'We're running out of time': Miami now a ghost town as Floridians wait bumper-to-bumper to flee Irma that has 1.4 MILLION under evacuation as FEMA warns the deadly hurricane could 'devastate' the US
* Meteorologists are now predicting that Miami will bear the brunt of Hurricane Irma when it hits the mainland
* 1.4 million people are now under evacuation in Florida and Georgia
* Floridians are sitting in hours-long traffic jams to head north for shelter before the storm
* The storm has the potential to do $125billion worth of damage when it strikes Miami - and possibly much more
* Category 4 storm has caused devastation in the Caribbean, killing at least 24 and leveling entire islands
* Extensive damage has been reported on Barbuda and St Martin, with over 90 per cent of buildings wrecked
* The storm is currently battering the northeastern coast of Cuba
Apocalyptic scenes are playing out across the Sunshine State, as more than a million people flee Hurricane Irma's wrath.
In the usually bustling city of Miami, the streets and beaches are eerily empty and businesses boarded up. Meanwhile, Floridians sit in hours-long traffic jams on all roads leading north to seek shelter with friends and family.
An estimated 1.4million people have been given mandatory orders to evacuate in Florida and Georgia, and that number is expected to grow as the storm approaches. Mandatory evacuation orders are in effect for all of the counties in the southern tip of Florida and for most all the way up the east coast. Residents in the coastal areas of Georgia, including Savannah, are also under evacuation.

Now even Fox news admit humans responsible for global climate change.
Rush Limbaugh, living and working out of his home base in Florida announced that the storm largely exggerated by the liberal press. But now he too has fled the storm
Since this site is largely concerned with military matters, I note that our Pentagon has for some time now stated that global climate change is a national defense issue
I will leave it for wiser minds such as A.S. to offer a better perspective on such matters, when, after dinner, comments begin to flow
