The entire Florida Peninsula and points north are poised to experience Hurricane Irma after the storm hugged Cuba's northern coastline. Thousands of Floridians who evacuated the Atlantic cost to Gulf Coast areas found their safe shelter under direct threat from Hurricane Irma as the forecast shifted W Friday night and Saturday. Hurricane Irma's prolonged interaction with Cuba diminished its strength to Category 3.
Irma is forecast to increase in strength as it crosses the FL Straits. The Florida Keys experienced strong outer bands while Irma grazed the N Cuba coastline.

Who knows what he had in his throat last night....
I can’t stand Shrimp Smith. I turn the channel as fast as I can if he comes on.
Haha! Shemp! Definitely the Stooge nobody wants to see!
As kids we loved the 3 Stooges but were disappointed when Shemp was on. We wanted Curly!
You’re the one who’s all in for destruction makes for better things - not me.
Have a nice day.

Wow. Of course it will come back ... with a vengeance
My cousin who lives in Palm Bay evacuated to GA. She works at Harris....I passed along your news. Yikes.
What was Abby Huntsman’s condition? That time of the month?
Nope. Quite pregnant.
Jeff’s streams are something to watch!

Water rushes out of Bay today on string east wind. Water rushes back into Bay late tonight on strong west wind. #Irma.
ok, that makes sense. I can’t see any local weather reporter or meteorologist getting away with saying that about global warming without getting canned without even a warning. Go Joe Bastardi. I wish they were all a bit more like him.
FOX Abby Huntsman was saying this morning her grandmother, on oxygen and living alone, is remaining in Tampa. Her daddy was governor of Utah and was ambassador of China, Singapore and up for Russia. He was born in 1960 and both parents are still alive. I'm guessing this grandma is her mother's mother who was born in 1961 so must be at least late 70s. Alone and on oxygen and will likely lose power.
How do you fire a 2x4? Slingshot? Trebuchet?
No. She is with child. It’s a woman thing to see how those in that way “look”.
Wind from the east pushing water out is a good thing for the west coast. Hopefully the track will continue N to allow that.
Doesn’t say much for the family does it.
I didn’t say I was in favor of destruction. There’s always hope, and I tend to look for the light at the end of the tunnel. Civilization will bounce back, and this hurricane is not going to stop that. What a distortion.
