The entire Florida Peninsula has begun to experience Hurricane Irma following landfall at Marco Island. 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. Prayers for all in the storm path.

Best regards. Switched from Weather Channel. Have been watching Shep all day. I think he’s doing a good job today. Happy Birthday Steve Harrigan.
Is that true about underground shelters during hurricanes?
Hard to read the vans parked behind the building—maybe C&C? It was a distant video shot.
Sorry to hear that.
I don’t want to speak too soon but Naples had very minimal wind damage. Florida so far lucked out with wind damage. We’ll see what the surge brings. Some people are saying Keys got hit hard but not as bad as they thought. We’ll see. I haven’t seen any videos or pics yet. I’m sure there is damage and flooding.
wish I had some now...

It’s sad to see but supposedly there are a dozen stranded out of water. There really is nothing anyone can do considering their weight and lack of equipment to lift them back into the ocean.
Crap. Relatives in Orlando.

Let them try to make fun of us now!
Yup..
Hope you’re safe and sound....so far! Pretty breezy, oh, ok, windy in Lakeland. Talking about 75-95 MPH winds in our area later tonight. Blowing about 30-35 now. Did I mention rain? Oh yeah! We’re getting plenty of rain.
We're getting some more intense winds now.
Same here. :(
Okay, you forced me into a search (but it was well worth it); for the curious, but not those easily offended by street language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DA86rsKOjo
A many thousands of people who evacuated from the SE FL coast.
I will go check the local supermarket. :)
shot guns full of buckshot will work....
Looks like Cuba, "Took one for the team", and took something out of it.
Over a thousand dollars a pair for some sneakers.
