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.

Jeff is near 41 and 951.
Tornado on the ground in Boca Raton
And grammatically correct, don’t forget that while you’re sending plaudits in my direction.
When we were flooded in ‘85 (Elena), our pool was pitch black. It looked like tar. Somewhere I have a picture of it. Disgusting.
Jeff’s feed shows structures look intact and the stoplights still have power.
You said Sunny Isles getting nailed. I live there on the east side of Collins on the beach (not there now) - what do you know is happening?

The bay is gone.
Congrats!
Janice Dean is pretty cool.
It’s far too well-executed and pointed a sentence to win the Bulwer-Lytton.
Thank you, I suppose, lol?
I don’t think this one qualifies. A gun store has some guy behind the counter. Customer service is #1
Here’s Jeff’s Coordinates: 26°04’25.3”N 81°42’59.3”W
Lot of wind. Lots of palm fronds on the ground.

We are in midst of monsoon band. Water came up on porch in 10 minutes! Hah. But, it’s alright, now have sandbags more strategically placed!!

I’m rather proud of “as notoriously capricious hurricanes are wont to do,” and plan on using it again and again.
That's what the broadcastress said: as though to suggest they were empty shoe boxes. :(
