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.

What do you hear from Lower Keys?

[MagUSNRET]

Hollow points would be even better!

[KC_Lion]

I would say "Quick get Steve Harrigan from Fox up to Ft. Lauderdale to get in the line of fire of the looters."

But, it looks like they have been arrested.

Looters Caught by Channel 10 cameras have been arrested by the police.

I’m hoping the poor beasts can last until the surge brings the water back in.

[Mears]

Looters taking advantage of a situation like this should get DOUBLE the maximum sentence.

Check the track models
The track is NNW
Track was always slightly east of Tampa in Mango / Brandon .
Not hitting Orlando unless the NHC projection is way off

very little hope to hear more tomorrow.

Watch for flooding in Naples and Marco Island now.Facebook post says 3 foot rise in Naples in 10 minutes. Unverified.

Any short wave operators on this thread? Probably the best chance of getting reports from them.

[neverevergiveup]

Manatees are mammals, and should be able to be fine out of water until the tide comes back in. It shouldn’t be that long until it does, and although they are big, they aren’t so big that they would be crushed under their own weight like whales.

I have always appreciated your work on these threads. Stay safe and keep the coffee hot!

Palm fronds barely moving. South eyewall must be kaput?

[Road Warrior ‘04]

what’ll I do ??? What’ll I do ???

When we get through it, I'll give you a few tips! ;)

[gov_bean_ counter]

That seems to be what TWC folks are saying. Not as bad a west wrap around as previously thought.

[Baldwin77]

Ethically challenged

[NautiNurse]

shot guns full of buckshot will work....

LOL--did a double take--thought maybe you were responding to the comment about the jammed storm shutter.

How are the winds in The Villages at this point?

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Just like people putting the place where an incident is happening at Birmingham. OK....

It only takes a second or two for you to type MIAMI!

So this thing hit makes hours ago and right now it is back in the gulf exactly sure west of Naples just sitting there? The updates online aren’t very good today. Is the tampa area spared? Is it going to continue to make landfall and then loop back to the gulf all the way up the state?
