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.

New study, keep inside doors closed to keep pressure from building up inside and blowing your roof off.
Refresh. It is almost off the coast.
All harvey did for me was put a bunch of fireants in my mailbox
Yes, click on the link.
It shows what is supposed to be under water as color coded based on how deep the water is supposed to be.
If this thing doesn’t take an unexpected path, there may not be an island to return to.
We have a place rented for a vacation there in Nov.
I was so looking forward to it.
Anna Maria is beautiful.
I’m glad your sister left. There are only a couple bridges off the island and I cannot fathom trying them during a storm surge.
bump
Do you have any other sources for this informstion...Mississippi flooding????
Looks to me like it’s mashing it south.
I hear you. That was my go to plan on the bridge, but I peeked out and was surprised to find that I wasn’t panicking,
It was a totally different story when I was at the World Trade Center observation deck in 1993. I broke into a cold sweat before the elevator door opened. I realized as my family was getting off that I was having a panic attack. Stayed in the interior gift shop and bathroom the whole time. I could not look outside. I felt every sway, every tiny little movement it made, and it made a lot of them!
Like you, flying doesn’t bother me in the least, at least not the height thing. I have sinus problems and the pressure really gets to me.
Wow, I grew up being told the opposite for tornadoes anyway.
Praying. God bless your family!
Beautiful area. Yes, great restaurants.
Models have it doing a Jeanne-style loop (2004) in the open ocean but after that they go in all directions. Too early to tell.
I just visited a killer bonsai place in N. Ft. Meyers. The guy there is a top bonsai master in bougainvillas...worth thousands of dollars.Hope he gets them protected.
AMEN!
>The devil is angry regardless of whether God is.
The devil only gets angry when nobody follows the devil. God does not get angry.
The issue is never the issue with these zealots. Learn their true desires and you know what drives then. Or you can just listen to Rush. Lol.
We are in Clearwater. The forecasters on Bay News 9 look like they are being led to the gallows. The 8 pm update, according to them, does not bode well for Tampa Bay.
And, the Sunshine Bridge is closed again....now won’t open until after the hurricane passes.
I certainly wouldn't be hanging around on that beach!
What goes out must come back in.
You are absolutely right.
