I know. then it would hit the coast further up and those folks are more not prepared for this than Floridians.

I guess there is no best case scenario for this one.

Here is my GoPro camera VIDEO of Hurricane Irma from north central Broward County at 8:10 AM today. Wind moving from east to west due to counterclockwise rotation of the hurricane but I expect that wind direction to change to south to north as Irma moves further north. Currently wind gusts up to about 65 mph in this area. You can see one of those gusts in the second half of this video.

As you can see, tree branches have fallen. Since recording this video another big branch fell off the tree nearest the camera.

If I have electricity later, I will try to post more such videos here.
