Hurricane Irma - #2

[Rott Mom]

This is absolutely horrific - Irma won't let up. I can't imagine what Floridians are going through.

Not sure if this was posted earlier, but two police officers were killed during this hurricane.

I feel like an idiot responding to my own post, but I don't know how to link about these police officers.

Hey Cariis. Wind is strong near Ocala, but nothing to make me really afraid. Kitty is in the window watching in horror as water comes down.

It is very noisy. We've near 6" of rain. Power has been steady, but just now flickered.

I will probably sleep, knowing DH will be vigilant. Long-term relationships, you take turns being weak. :loveyou:

Here's a happier story:

6:10 p.m.Lauren Durham and Michael Davis had big plans for a beach wedding this month. Hurricane Irma had bigger plans.
So instead of a poofy white dress, Durham got married in her Air National Guard fatigues, with no makeup, in a vast hangar filled with rescue vehicles in Orlando. Davis is a senior airman in the guard, like his bride, so they had called to say they'd miss their own wedding.

9:32 p.m. Sunday: Tornado reported in St. Augustine

“It sounded like a massive train going through. We really didn’t know what the hell happened,” a woman who was home at the time said. “Thank God we are alive.”

7:44 p.m. Sunday:*St. Johns and Flagler counties are under a tornado warning until 8:15 p.m.*

7:36 p.m. Sunday:*Several St. Johns County bridges are closing ahead of Hurricane Irma's local impacts. Officials have ordered the closing of the*Usina*Vilano*Bridge, Bridge of Lions, O’Connell 312 Bridge, SR 206 Bridge,*Shands*Bridge and Palm Valley Bridge.

Officials said they will remain closed for an extended period of time until the barrier islands have been assessed and the Florida Department of Transportation deems the bridges safe for vehicular traffic.*

6 p.m. Sunday:*Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry said Sunday that it is time to stay in your safe place as Jacksonville braces for heavy rain and strong*winds beginning late Sunday night.

Jacksonville is expected*to see storm surge between 3 to 5 feet along the coastline.*

Sunday night, there will be high tide along the coastline and river from midnight to 2 a.m.

A tornado watch is in effect until midnight and residents should be on standby for tornado warnings. People need to continue to be on standby for flash flood warnings.

Jacksonville should anticipate sustained tropical storm force winds with gusts up to 70 mph.*

Sheriff Mike Williams said JSO is continuing to monitor the bridges. Bridges will close if there is sustained winds of 40 mph.

I can't tell you what to do - but please stay off of your balcony. Go "hunker" down - have your beer like you wanted to and
be safe. It's critical. Nothing to see out there. You have to be safe.
