Dangerous Category 5 Hurricane Irma had a devastating impact on islands in the Caribbean.
Hurricane and Storm surge watches were issued Thursday morning for South Florida. The Florida Keys began evacuating visitors and residents, followed by flood zones in Miami and Miami Beach. Sarasota FL declared a local state of emergency Thursday morning.
Polk County FL Sheriff Grady Judd said Wednesday that law enforcement authorities would check the identities of people who turn up at shelters--and take to jail anyone found to have an active arrest warrant. “If you go to a shelter for Irma and you have a warrant, we’ll gladly escort you to the safe and secure shelter called the Polk County Jail... “If you have a warrant, turn yourself in to the jail — it’s a secure shelter.” Judd also posted that sex offenders and sex predators would not be admitted to the shelters. "We cannot and we will not have innocent children in a shelter with sexual offenders & predators. Period." Judd's statements unleashed a liberal firestorm via Twitter.

Well, with it making landfall on the western side, that means the worst side of the storm, the right side, with the highest winds and propensity to produce tornadoes, is going up the middle of the state.

Jose is forecast to loop around and make another try at the Keys.
I am not sure we’ve seen the last of that one.

my sister was in Homestead when Andrew hit. They were staying at the million dollar home of her husbands boss.
The roof caved in on them and they were all running for a tiny concrete shed in backyard, in the middle of the storm. 4 adults and 4 children, one being a newborn.
After the storm, that little concrete shed built up 2 feet from ground, was the only thing standing.

If you’re in a mandatory evac zone and stay put, be sure to write your SSN on an arm & a leg with permanent marker.
