Hurricane Irma, FL Nters We May Be Next

[el cuco]

Man I currently live in Atlanta. Majority of my family lives in Orlando, Apopka, Mt.Dora (Central Florida). Contacted most of em and they all stayed. Offered my parents and they declined. Born and raised in Orlando area and never feared a hurricane. But this one is like the “perfect storm”. Based on the current trajectory it’s hitting straight through the middle of the state. I’m shook

Our initial plan was Georgia as well, but at the rate traffic is flow northbound I'd fear running out of gas. I drove up from S.FL to the Orlando area now it looks like it's shifted left heading down the middle of FL and passing Atlanta... I really hope this thing takes another massive shift, since yesterday morning it was still pretty close to the eastern coast.

I wasn't nervous at first but now I am starting to feel a little shook myself. I'm just praying it's not as bad as they're saying!

Y'all gonna ride it out in Orlando?

Yeah man.

 

[jape]

I work down the block from Due South. Love their beer

Made it to Orlando finally

They make some good brews, I definitely give them props for this one considering that you could barely find any bottled water. Hope you and your fam remain safe. Let's just hope it makes another shift and heads further west!

Don't let it dropping down to a 4 fool you this thing is still a beast. It's got a really good shot and picking up steam once it passes Cuba and potentially getting back to a 5 with all the hot water around the area but hopefully it doesn't.

Florida is not just Miami. Yesterday hundreds of miles of barrier islands along the east coast looked like that. The rest of the state, and even that area, is looking way better than yesterday. Are you in Florida?

Just curious how many of you are natives and how many are transplants ? Team Native myself

I wasn't born in the US but I have been living in MIA for about 15 years, so I might as well be a native.

Man I hope none of you Florida dudes still in Miami lol

I'm still here, me and my fam have nowhere to go.

So no. You're not in Florida.

I live on a barrier island on the east coast of the state. Within a hundred yards each way down the street are intracoastal waterways that rise and fall in storms. Yesterday after hearing projections about a 9-10 foot storm surge, I spent several hours barricading possible points of entry for rising water as a result of storm surges, knowing that even if the water did get that high, all of my neighbors and I would have nothing to come back to. To me, and the millions of others in my exact same situation, Irma being downgraded and those projections dropping is good thing and a really big deal. The difference between it hitting the entire state as a potential 4/5 and a 3/2 is huge. It can literally mean the difference between having a house and not having one. I've got family in Miami, trust me, they feel better today than yesterday too.

The only thing more obnoxious than all of the prep for this storm is all of the people online who are not living it, but feel the need to tell everyone how bad it is going to be. Don't know how many relatives/friends from out of state I see posting on Facebook telling people how bad the destruction is going to be. If you want to help, pray, ask how you can help, or keep your mouth shut.

Hope your family and their homes are safe!

I heard his broadcast, his gist was "liberals will use tragedy to link it to politics talking points about global warming, and subsequent liberal legislation"
