Hurricane Irma - #2

[mpnola]

Hey yall! I'm just joining! Everyone here in new Orleans is both holding our breath because Katrina was supposed to turn and didnt! And holding our hearts for Florida, knowing the devastation that is upon them. Stay safe everyone!

Looks terrifying you guys. This is the live "rainbow" satellite loop (Irma long floater). This is what I'll be hitting refresh all night.

Hurricane Irma to batter Florida with catastrophic storm surge, wind and rain
By*Renee Duff, AccuWeather meteorologistSeptember 10, 2017, 1:46:23 AM EDT

https://www.accuweather.com/en/weat...tastrophic-storm-surge-wind-and-rain/70002657

"Irma is projected to reach Category 4 strength when it makes landfall just east of Key West, Florida, around 8 a.m. Sunday. It may intensify further over very warm waters in the region, so landfall as a Category 5 hurricane cannot be ruled out"

 

[margarita25]

"Downtown Miami will be spared from the highest winds; however, occasional wind gusts between 80 and 100 mph could bring down trees and power lines and cause destruction to mobile homes."

Exactly what I have been thinking the last couple of days.

 

[LaLaw2000]

My sister in Houston lives off of FM 1960 in Champion Forrest did not flood but couldn't get out of her neighborhood for a few days. I have a brother in Victoria, Texas. Both had vacation homes on the coast with minimal damage from Harvey. Have a granddaughter at Ft. Hood, Texas.

I posted here on WS in 2008 about my brother in Pinellas County on the waterway. I have a niece in Big Pine Key, Florida. She went up to my brother's and now the hurricane is to be bad there also!

I'm in Louisiana where bad weather inevitably happens frequently.

I think my whole family needs to just move to Alaska or somewhere. We are all emotionally exhausted from worrying about each other. I'm worried about my brother and my niece because they did not evacuate and are in a condo on the second floor of the building. As long as they have their beer, rum, and their Jimmy Buffet music, they are happy campers. I just talked to them a little while ago and told them to let me and the rest of the family know if they survive. I was being only a tiny bit sarcastic. I'm more worried than they are.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the path of Hurricane Irma. Take care all of you!

*I almost didn't post on this thread except to say my thoughts and prayers are with all Floridians. What are the odds of having family in both Harvey and Hurricane Irma?? I'm moving to Alaska. I mean it!
