Fort Myers is getting pounded! Those waves! This is the gulf not the ocean!

Yes, and this is just the "outer bands" still. Full arrival (eye) of this Cat 4 not expected until (roughly) about 8 PM in Ft Myers area. Have friends/fam there, so am keeping watch on this area in particular.

#Brickell Ave looks like an ocean. Rivers of water taking over Miami's financial district. Unprecedented flooding. #hurricaneIrma #irma

Is he still in Marco or Naples?

I dunno but I wish he'd stop driving under wobbly trees and swinging traffic lights!

Storm Chaser Goes Viral Inside Hurricane Irma

Anyone seen Henry today? We could do with his commentary.

Presumably he's been cut orf.

Deputies shot and wounded a burglar and arrested his accomplice at a Florida home as Hurricane Irma blew in.


Florida sheriff's deputies rescued a couple who tried to ride out Hurricane Irma on a small sailboat.


Some Miami Police officers remembered to pack an essential in their hurricane survival pack: Cuban coffee known as cafecito.

The department tweeted a picture showing a coffee maker atop a camp stove. It read: "As our officers ride out the storm, some have brought the (hashtag) Miami essentials to help them get through the night."


About 100 of America's top chefs who had gathered for their annual summit changed gears. They pivoted their planned Monday agenda on "heritage grains" and "how to cut food waste." Now, instead, the chefs will prepare a gourmet feast for Irma refugees and serve it at a church.

Just heard from No It's Not or NIN.

Here is what she sent me:

"I am looking Irma straight into the eye at some point...hope everyone else is okay"

At some point today the eye will pass over NIN. She does not have the Internet now but she said she would keep me posted..
