I combined the images of Hurricane Andrew (1992) & Hurricane Irma (today) at scale in a gif. Irma is a damn leviathan. pic.twitter.com/4HEw1NNxxd

Yeah, Irma is big, but there have been much larger hurricanes in the Caribbean and the Gulf in my lifetime. Still, it will be devastating.

Incidentally, the current forecast track of Irma shows it’ll pass through as a Category 2 where I grew up — literally through the city limits of Lake City, FL.
