Najjači uragan do sada približava se SAD-u, zabilježili ga i seizmolozi

Seizmolog u Nacionalnom okeanografskom centru Southampton Stephen Hicks kaže da je seizmometar na Guadeloupeu, grupi otoka u južnom Karipskom moru, snimio približavanje uragana pete kategorije Malim Antilima, još jednoj grupi otoka na Karibima.

"Snimke od posljednjih 48 sati na Guadeloupeu pokazuju da se uragan pete kategorije Irma približava Malim Antilima", napisao je dr. Hicks na Twitteru.

U kasnijim objavama dr. Hicks je pojasnio da je pozadinska buka, poput vjetra u krošnjama ili valova, ono zbog čega su seizmografi "ulovili" Irmu.

Irma je već sada najjači uragan ikad zabilježen izvan Kariba i Meksičkog zaljeva, i tokom vikenda će najvjerovatnije pogoditi kopno negdje na Floridi.

The hurricane force winds in #Irma are wider than Florida. You won’t need a direct hit to get Wilma-type winds & storm surge on both coasts. https://t.co/qz5xsVSuUT

Uzbuna zbog uragana proglašena je na Djevičanskim Otocima, u Portoriku i na Floridi.

Guverner Floride Rick Scott kaže da se tačna putanja uragana još ne može predvidjeti, ali da bi njime moglo biti pogođeno milion stanovnika Floride.

Zbog veličine i razorne moći ovog uragana, vrlo opasni vremenski uvjeti mogli bi vladati i stotinama kilometara izvan centra oluje - najrazornijeg dijela uragana. "Raspon Irminih vjetrova širi je od Floride", smatra Bryan Norcross, specijalist za uragane na Weather Channelu.
