Breaks my heart. They look miserable.

I can't imagine in the middle of a hurricane delivering a baby by phone.

There was just a huge gust on Siesta Beach in Sarasota. Wow.

CNN traveling in Key Largo. Much debris on the highway.

Florida Keys Damage

The official numbers have not come in yet, but damage is reportedly massive throughout the Keys. The eye of the hurricane passed over Cudjoe Key in the Lower Keys around daybreak Sunday, and caused heavy destruction from a combination of wind, rain and surge.

The Middle and Upper Keys were also severely heavily damaged and flooded.

The storm knocked out power Keys-wide and caused damage to some of the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority’s transmission lines, impacting the flow of fresh water to the island chain.

In another live-television interview on CBS4, a kid said that he and his family aren’t evacuating Florida because “we are savages.”

"why aren't u evacuating?"

And this man, identified only as Mike, said in a video posted to Reddit that he evacuated Florida when Hurricane Georges hit in 1998 — but that he wasn’t going to evacuate ever again.

Instead, he’ll be riding out the storm in his home boat, he said.

“They’ll either read about me in obituaries, or I’ll be the first one looting Publix,” he said.

smh

And yet, all these real-life incidents would make for a fascinating and humorous novel. It really would. DH just suggested to me that I write one if we survive this disaster

I have a question for my wise WS peeps:
Irma has been downgraded to category 2. Is it likely to stay a 2 or can it go back up to 3 or 4?
