This makes me so nervous. Okay, I will admit I have already been tense for the past couple of days but this ups it. lol

Tallahassee is only 90 miles away from us.

I have been watching the skies and our giant trees on our property and I noticed about an hour ago the wind is picking up and the top parts of the trees are beginning to sway back and forth. Thank goodness our largest trees aren't up around our home any longer. In December of last year we had 12 large pecan, pines, and oak trees cut down that sat closer to our home. I am even happier now that we decided to do it. Although the other tall trees left sit about 250 feet from the side of our home and I know they can be uprooted slamming into our home if the wind gets high like predicted for our area.

I am continuing to pray for everyone's safety in all of the areas where Irma may hit. What I hope more than anything is it wont be as bad as first thought but it will soon hit very warm waters the closer to land it gets and that is very worrisome.

Our daughter and granddaughter lives in Mexico Beach and our daughter called today saying her boat and one of her vehicles is still there at her home and she was thinking about going back to bring both to Georgia. I told her I felt that was a bad idea and she would have to tow the large boat back with the winds getting higher. I told her to not go back and finally she agreed. Not one material possession in the world is ever worth risking lives.

Anyone know what the chances are for Irma to head further west into the Gulf? TIA

I wonder what the chances are too. I have been thinking this since the early models that it looked to me it could go further west into the golf impacting some of the states there. Still looking like FL landfall though.

When, if ever, is Irma going to make that right turn to head north?

It is starting to get windy outside even though the sun is shining. Cannot tell if the winds are part of Irma or just normal....

Irma. A meteorologist on TWC is reporting from Tampa and wind is starting to pick up.

Thank you for sharing this! Zooming out a bit to see her full power is mind-boggling.

Wow.

The wind has picked up here in Ocala, too. There's a different quality to it.

This simulation of the possible storm surge in the Miami area is frightening! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys0nGDN06xE
