Storm surge flooding of 10-15 ft is now expected along the SW Florida coast.  This is a dire and life-threatening situation.

Still cat 3, or has it upgraded again?

It will upgrade tonight when it leaves Cuba's coast...hitting 90 degree water..

Yeah, that water in the Florida Straights will be like a lovely, hot bath for Irma to rest and recoup in.

Water is coming in pretty rough already on Miami Beach...yet still you see a few die-hards hanging around (that would be me, probably).

The kids love it when a storm goes through.  All my friends that surfed would head out to the beach because they would finally get some righteous waves. :)

I75 north is crowded from tampa north.  Big slowdown for about 20 miles south of ocala.  Otherwise good.  301 was very good.  I75 south was great.

Very few gas stations have gas.  Those that do have huge lines.  There are phone apps which will tell you which stations.

‘God Will Bless That Man’ for His Hurricane Irma Kindness

She desperately needed a generator. So did he. Guess what this complete stranger did for her?

by Maureen Mackey | 09 Sep 2017 at 11:49 AM

A Florida resident named Pam Brekke spent hours upon hours, even days, dashing from store to store for supplies as she and her Orlando-based family prepared for Hurricane Irma ahead of this weekend.

Fox News and People Magazine both carried the story — and this one will last far beyond the news cycle.

Why? This is real. This is about people. This is about neighbors helping neighbors, strangers helping strangers, human beings going out of their way for other human beings in a crisis.

Brekke, who works as an upholstery cutter, needed a generator. As store shelves grew increasingly empty, she kept searching. This purchase wasn't just for comfort but for absolute necessity.

Her father-in-law, who is 87 and battling congestive heart failure, needs oxygen to get through the night — "and I’m worried about this storm," Brekke told WFTV, an Orlando television channel, as tears came to her eyes.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Based on radar, this thing is taking its time making that right turn.  Won't be a bit surprised to see 4 pm advisory show a westward shift of the projected track.

(Another) westward shift, which I love for me, but hate for other people.

Hopefully it won't get into the Gulf and then head for Houston.

I remember back in 1988, we in SE Texas were freaking out over Gilbert's forecast to hit our area.  That storm never made a turn, and basically ended up being the most straight line storm in recorded Hurricane history, hitting Mexico, just south of Brownsville.

I know the forecasting tools have improved greatly in 30 years,  but these things seem to have a mind of their own sometimes.

Thankfully  my family is safely out of Naples but they have many elderly friends who could not or did not leave  Those of you who are the praying sort please pray for those in the path of this storm

Nobody has any ill-will towards Florida, by any means. However, I'm sure that people in coastal States on the Gulf, are going to breath a hugh sigh of relief when that 'monster' turns North.

My sister's house on Sanibel Island is already at sea level and it's on the beach...I haven't talked to her today as I am sure she is a nervous wreck...luckily they are at their Chi home and didn't have to evac.
