ew pressure drop is not a good thing, correct?
the lower the pressure the more intense the storm?
(((((Hugs)))) My niece has a high rise condo Ocean Front in Fort Lauderdale.She left 2 days ago.Flew North.
FWIW, latest on Twitter has staff and cats staying put still. And Mariel Hemmingway continuing to raise Cain about it.
Don’t know much about dogs except most seem to be very happy creatures and love their owners. I suspect they sense something has changed in the ‘air’....they appear to have an amazing sense of smell....and so changes in weather would be noted.
Saw in some places the birds are gone or in hiding...
When I was a kid and lived about 1/2 from the beach (rural southern CT, olden days....) not that many people lived right on the beach. I am wondering if the gov underwrites insurance for beach houses.
I am the opposite and love ve water and swimming.
Bigger thing I noticed... the eye is back over water, and the upper out-flows are still in good shape.. Very symmetrical.
I was hoping the upper level wind shear would start BEFORE it got back over water. Not gonna happen.
There is definitely a Northward component to the motion now. Key West looks like it’s gonna get a direct hit.
LOLOL...
As Irma heads toward Key West, Mariel Hemingway tries to save Papas cats
Exactly what part of Florida do you live, and for how long?
I thought your rules were pretty good. It was a nice way to lighten the mood when we’re facing something difficult.
It’s turned NW. Heading 330 degrees. Line of travel is currently pointing between Key West and Marathon.
They are literally taking pics of the eye moving in on them lol
Floridians... I swear ya’ll are beyond “interesting”.
Holding cocktails, no less.
Strange-I read they were told to leave with the cats.They are crazy for staying.
Just saw a couple taking a selfie with Irma.
Comments in the chat “Smile, we’re gonna die”
lol
Wow. That's a long ways away. We had North Carolina crews here before.
When I was really small (under 6) and at the beach so often in the summer, I remember looking out to sea expecting a huge wave... and I do love the ocean. Preferably with mountains right next to it. :-)
...”I always hide live chat (mostly morons)”...
You can say that again....I cut them out too....probably college age and teens who clearly make their stupidity well known....and there mouths would appear located in their rear ends.
I tried for a few minutes to leave it showing but had to hide it again, but a few funny comments about the Key Westers taking selfies in front of Irma’s arrival.
South Island of New Zealand then.
