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.

Why would the networks say anything?
The dindus have 2-way everywhere.
Shep is more torture than a Cat 10!
Can’t they get anyone besides this Drama QUEEN??
All good, DollyCali, nice to hear from you! Hope you and yours are safe in these storms. I fell into becoming a high school teacher for 8 yrs and so took a hiatus from politics (unlike the rest of the teachers...). Have since left to run my own business, again, so like Joe Bastardi I can say what I want now! I landed back here on FR to MAGA.
Fun to be back these parts and on threads like this that remind me of the great community here.
LOL.
Guess they don’t need work boots. Damn.
Good photos and interactive map here:

You and yours are in our thoughts and prayers, FRiend. Hang in there...

Ooooh, excuuuuuse me! I didn’t realize only those in the North are allowed garages.
I’m in TX and have a garage conveniently located under the house roof. Apparently, I’m crazy not wanting my most expensive possession, aside from the house itself, left out in the elements or free game for thugs.
You kidding me? Looters already?
Thank you.
I’m monitoring Zello right now. Fascinating. Lots of ham operators getting real time info to people on the ground.
People on the ground sending real time reports to the world.
Someone taped it (repeating the above post) from ABC:
Looting, Fort Lauderdale.

Flooding in downtown St. Augustine, one of our most beautiful and historic Florida cities.
Taking shoe boxes. These folks are mental.
I am amazed Twitter hasn’t banned this obviously racist video. :-(
