Florida,let the carnage begin

[user 6493]

,,Florida is going to take a beating no doubt about that,,,I am watching this storm not because it can do me harm but because I have family over there,,,I expect up dates thru out the day on how bad J-Ville is being hit,,,I will post them as I get them,

the Keys should be getting hit about now

 

[user 6493]

first contact today,,,steady rain and gust to 33 MPH in J-Ville

 

[user 6493]

Irma's track has shifted a little more to the west, so the Eastern side of the state won't take the beating that was earlier projected at this time it will go thru the Pan Handle of Fla. the entire west coast of the state will take a pounding,,,

yes I think a lot of folks did go up the Western side to get away from the storm,and now the darn thing is chasing them

 

[jontte]

[jontte]

but,anyone who left their pet behind,deserves to be mauled by Irma

i saw the rout it's taking.and it looks like it'll west of nashville tn..

Going south of me to the west of me tomorrow through Wednesday. I don't expect a lot more than rain and some wind up here. Also tomorrow's high temp is 67F, so that should help keep weakening it.

I am expecting some rain fro Irma here in Arkansas,,,,but it should not be much

It has gotten further away from us but I still spent the day securing stuff and putting things away. Just in case.

 

[DrHenley]

No rain yet but we've had some steady wind close to 20 MPH the last 24 hours. Power went out last night for a couple of hours and small limbs are down all over. The models are showing the center of the storm passing through here tomorrow night at 8 pm.

Stay safe chaps you can replace kit you cannot replace lives.

 

[Brent S]

I don't expect much more than rain from all this and some wind gusts. It's raining here this morning and I guess it will deteriorate all day. I believe the center will pass SW of us overnight tonight. The only thing I could really worry about would be a tornado coming off this but that's not something you can prep much for.

I lost contact with my family members in Jacksonville,,,they are dealing with a power outage,no telling when I when I will hear from them again

 

[DrHenley]

Looking at the weather radar, it looked like Jacksonville got some pretty strong feeder bands, but the news media have all but ignored Jacksonville.

Jim, tonight we are going to have wind advisory and rain. Gust to 45 mph etc. I don't have a back yard, all woods so a tree falling is straight onto the house.

 

[jontte]

let's hope it will not do that!

Glad to hear that as news showed a lot of flooding in Jacksonville.

 

[user 7704]

It's starting to rain here. No winds yet. Got to get the chickens locked in.

I was watching the news from down there this morning and Down Town was under knee deep water

I wonder how Kenneth L Storey did during Irma? He was the professor that said Texas deserved Harvey for voting for Trump and it was kind of like an instant Karma that we got hit with Harvey. He said people in Florida, that voted for Trump, deserved the same (he said this before Irma came).

Oh god please tell me someone on TV is taking him to task on this ?

I have looked several times. I can't find any information on him. There was a couple of reports that said he was in hiding because the Klan from Georgia was making death threats towards him. I don't know if that was true. He may just be looking for sympathy.
