My prayers are with all in Florida.
Ditto! But I'm going to add the people of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and any other states in Irma's path. Right now, there is still some debate as to where Irma goes once it leaves Florida. Even though the storm might downgrade as it goes along, in terms of destruction and loss of life, I don't see much difference between the various categories. Are 120 mph winds any less destructive than 160 mph winds? And the flooding: Water is water. If your house is washed away, what difference does it make what category the storm is or was?
I can see that in terms of damage and lives lost, Irma is going to be bad for far more people than just those in Florida.
