I'm changing my Instagram

Hello everyone, sorry I haven't posted anything on my blog since Hurricane Irma came through.

It has been over 2 weeks since Hurricane Irma hit Florida, and apart from some tree damage, everything is back to normal now, that is until the next hurricane comes.

Anyway, as you can probably see by the title, I'm changing my Instagram around a bit. You may notice soon that some of the photos on IG: jackfawsittphotography have been removed. This is not Instagram's fault. I was the person that removed the photos due to them not matching the style of my Instagram.

I am also cancelling the meme page at IG: jackfawsittmemes. The account is now known as IG: jackfsflo, and will contain pictures of my time in Florida.

Sorry for any inconvenience with this post, I just wanted to update you's about what I'm doing to my Instagram accounts.

I now have a Hurricane Irma page

This is a quick update to let you know that I now have a page on this blog to keep track of Hurricane Irma as it approaches Florida.

EDIT: As a result, I will no longer be posting about Hurricane Irma on the blog section, only on the Hurricane Irma page.

The link to the page is here

Hurricane Irma update

This is a quick update to let you know about Hurricane Irma since in my last blog post I mentioned that this hurrricane may be headed towards the general direction of Florida and especially Miami.

As of 6 September 2017 at 11:00 EDT, the track of Hurricane Irma is headed either head on for Miami or tracking up alongside the coast of Miami and possibly hitting Freeport in The Bahamas. The intensity and severity of the storm for Miami will depend on what track it takes, but worst case scenario: Miami could receive rain of 25cm (10 inches) and peak winds of 300 km/h (185 mph). 

Therefore if I am not active on Jack Fawsitt Photography for a few days, this is why.

I am reaching out to the people affected by both this storm as well as Hurricane Harvey that hit Texas a couple of weeks ago. I hope for the very best that Irma does not impact Miami harshly, but if it does, I am fully prepared for the circumstances that may arise from Irma.

Could Hurricane Irma hit Miami?

There is a looming threat for the Caribbean this week in the name of Hurricane Irma.

This has been a hurricane for a few days now and the path of the storm is constantly changing. As of this post on Monday at 4PM EDT, the path of the storm is expected to continue to track West towards the Leeward Islands, US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and then impact The Bahamas and Cuba. Afterwards, the storm is expected to make a sharp turn to the North and possibly impact Miami and South Florida before continuing into the United States, weakening rapidly.

The main questions to answer about Hurricane Irma's impact are: 'Is Hurricane Irma going to hit Miami?' and if it does: 'How damaging would the impact be?'.

For the first question, the majority of models at the moment do indeed suggest that the hurricane will indeed hit in or near South Florida, although some suggest that Cuba or The Bahamas would bear the brunt of the storm. Alternatively, some models suggest the hurricane may harmlessly drift out to sea, not affecting the East Coast of the USA. 

For intensity, we will need to see where the storm tracks. Currently, if the storm continues on its present track, then the storm would first make landfall in Northern Cuba, where a mountain range lies. Consequently, the hope is that the storm weakens enough so that the impact on Miami is more limited than the Category 4 storm that it is expected to become by this weekend. However, there is still a chance that Hurricane Irma could strengthen further near the Caribbean where the water temperature is 31C (89F), and this could possibly mean that Miami may be in the firing line of a Category 5 super-storm.

So, could Hurricane Irma hit Miami? It is too early to tell.
