Mike Theiss, a Storm Tracker, said on TWC by phone just now that when the storm passes, he will check on the Hemingway House caretakers and the cats.

He also mentioned some people riding the storm out on their boats?!? :gaah:

A boat is one of the worst places to ride out a hurricane - a boat gets tossed around like a toy in the storm surge and the wind.

I hope their stupidity doesn't cost them their lives.

When Hurricane Irma veered toward Naples, Fla., it was too late to evacuate

Florida has been bracing for Hurricane Irma for days, but the westward shift of the storm caught this manicured Gulfside town, known for its yachts, quaint canals and beachfront mansions, off guard. By Saturday, it was directly in Irma’s path. Naples wasn’t ready for this.

“They didn’t tell us we were being evacuated until the very last minute,” said Barbara Sobol, a 70-year-old Cape Coral resident who looked deflated as she took a timeout from the hours-long line, while her husband kept their place. Just minutes earlier, an elderly woman had fainted and was taken away by ambulance, suffering from what seemed a bout of heat exhaustion.

The line was filled with yapping pooches, which were permitted to accompany their owners inside. But Sobol said the commotion of the shelter would probably upset her cat more than the commotion of riding out Irma in an empty house. “I left food for her at high elevations in different places. She’ll find it,” Sobol said. “This shelter is a strange, noisy place. She’d be scared here.”

GFS midnight model continues to forecast an easterly path, as well as cat4 storm at landfall in south FL, both points different than NHC.

The Broward County sheriff's office tweeted late Saturday that with wind gusts measuring 45 mph, they are pulling deputies off the road until conditions are safer.

That is a relief/ Scary for those in need but keeping these men and women safe is paramount so they can help on the other side of this storm.

If you rewind the video to earlier in the light, it appears that the flashes are lights on a jetty or pier. I went to surfline to check out other south beach videos. I believe it might be buoys on the jettys.

I think they are stationary buoys to indicate a hazard, such as a shoal area. There were some rocks that jutted out into the ocean from the beach if I recall today when it was daylight.

I am.

Local news said an hour or two ago that FPL will no longer be restoring power until the storm passes.

I am enjoying A/C and TV while I can.

Best of luck to you and all! Do you have water frozen for ice? Maybe fill up some extra Tupperware containers and pop them in the freezer real quick if you have room!

I think there is a good group and we will all be on our best behaviors, myself included! (Easy breezy, no pois to sleuth except mother nature herself).

According to the National Hurricane Center’s 11 p.m. update, the center of Irma is expected to cross the Lower Florida Keys Sunday morning and then move near or along the west coast of Florida Sunday afternoon through Monday morning.

Irma should then move inland over the Florida panhandle and southwestern Georgia Monday afternoon.

Maximum sustained winds are near 120 mph with higher gusts.

Im tellin ya, if my baby dog can't go, I won't go. It'll be ok, we'll just go down together. But that's just me. I of course don't have dependent children, and certainly don't advocate parents letting their children die in a hurricane, but Somehow I'd find a way to take my fur boy with me, hell or high water. Well, he is a children to me.

Absoluuuttteeellllyyy.....
