Biblical shit’s going down in the gulf. While Hurricane Irma – the largest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic bears down on Florida – a week after southeast Texas was devastated by hurricane #Harvey, a new hurricane, Jose, has cropped up right behind the Irma. Meanwhile, recently upgraded Hurricane Katia churns in the gulf of Mexico.
The National Hurricane Center said that Jose is “quickly strengthening,” after quietly following Irma across the Atlantic for the past several days.
3 storms out there right now. #Katia formed this morning, expected to move into Mexico. #Jose should head out to sea. #Irma we're watching! pic.twitter.com/iGm7RY88FU

Via ZeroHedge:
Located about 1040 miles east of the Lesser Antilles, Jose is headed at 16 mph on a steady west-northwest track, steered by the same ridge that is helping to direct Irma.
On its current track, Jose would reach the northern Leeward Islands by Saturday, but the ridge is predicted to weaken enough by Saturday to allow Jose to arc just northeast of the islands. Conditions are favorable for Jose to strengthen into a hurricane by later Wednesday, and it could approach Category 3 strength by late in the week. About 25% of the European model ensemble members bring Jose into the northern Leeward Islands, but all of the GFS ensemble members keep Jose north of the islands.
Irma and Jose
Katia
Recently upgraded from a Tropical Storm to a Category 1 Hurricane, Katia looks like it’s going to slam into the west coast of Mexico sometimes Saturday.

And the island of Barbuda – which some estimate 70% of has been destroyed.
And it was such a quiet hurricane season until Harvey kicked off the destruction.

“Jose” better not be a “Dreamer”. DC is screwed if it is. Who the fuck is naming these things.
Fucking racists. You don’t see any white American names like Donald.
