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.

That’s what they always use in those zombie apocalypse movies to make contact with other people.
“I just want to hear more about the Keys. “.
I had seen reports of bad flooding in Big Pine Key .... Looks like thats going to be the problem as water rushes back (all the way from Big Pine down through Cudjoe and up to the Stock Island area).
I had seen that Key West was pretty much OK.
I wish I had more concrete info for you ... I haven’t seen much.
They have turned on all hot spots and wifi everywhere.. pretty cool.
Well thank you for the report.
Been thinking of you. I’m praying for you.
Hang in buddy.

SUMMARY OF 800 PM EDT...0000 UTC...INFORMATION
Lights went off again for few minutes, but back for now. Amazed to still have it.
Arcadia (DeSoto Co)is taking a beating by Irma just now. They are inland, and took a pounding by Charley back in 2004.
Yes. 930px is about as wide as you want to go.
How 'bout jumping up to 216, hitting abuse and asking the mod to delete that one? Save us all some bandwidth.
If you don’t have wi-fi or cellular data it won’t help, that’s true.
BUT lots of folks in Florida have not lost cell data and all the carriers are making it free through Tuesday. Also I’m hearing that the big carriers are bringing COWs in.

Good for him! Eco-tourists probably have $$ to toss around.
Looters should be shot.
Earlier today you could search Facebook Live on the map and see people broadcasting live from Key West.
But Zello is free!
Me too. Just glad that some of the smoke has cleared out a little here in So. Oregon!
In big events, most of the time internet connectivity is down. It’s a very fragile system, susceptible to many issues.
Look at in the hard hit Texas gulf area. I’m pretty confident many of those folks down there still don’t have connectivity or they’ve just recently come back up.
