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.

I agree. That’s the longest nod north yet.
How heartbreaking!!
“I quite literally laid on the floor of the car, tossed up all stomach contents, and sobbed”
Sounds like me riding in blizzards.
It’s called a peneplain. The Rockies were eroded and filled, and then uplifted again, to where the old flat erosional surface is at 12,000 feet.
I’d say hello God, gettin’ ready to meetcha
Yikes, you managed to get over that one. When DH and I were driving and saw that bridge, I informed him that I will never be going over it. Ever. He understands my limits in that department.
I wish I knew why some people are afraid of heights and some are not.
Years ago before we were married DH use to do mountain climbing with ropes, and also painted factory smokestacks using some kind of harness. I cannot even IMAGINE.
Well yes because of wobbles. Where is the data from recon? Isn’t that what its called?
I guess you can see something after an hour to see a shift is real or not but not two or three FRAMES of a gif looping.

They had similar conditions, high enough elevations where flooding won’t be a issues except in low lying areas that have had flooding issues before. The neighbors that evacuated did several days ago. Almost Everyone else who was planning on staying did.
Is Mr Trump getting any blame for steering this storm away from Mar a Lago toward the poor people in Tampa?
and touche’
There is a gigantic confederate flag along 75 I hope it stays safe
Because they arent paying me!
My, first time I’ve seen this graphic. Surely draws a bead on me.
yes some here saw it live when it happened. we were all watching that channel when it was live. Saw people taking selfies in front of the waves. Yes, that dumb.
