While thoughts and prayers are with our Texas FRiends and neighbors, we are at the peak of the Atlantic Tropical Storm season. Hurricane Irma continues its trek from Cape Verde across the pond and toward the Hebert Box (see below). People with interests in the Southeastern U.S. and Gulf of Mexico should be alert to the forecast path updates for this powerful storm. It is important to note that the average NHC track errors are about 175 and 225 statute miles at days 4 and 5, respectively.
Hurricane Irma originally had a small wind field. In the past 24 hours, however, the wind field has expanded with hurriance force winds up to 40 miles from the center, and tropical storm force winds up to 140 miles from the storm center.
FL Governor Rick Scott reminds Floridians: Families should take time today to make sure you have a disaster plan and fully-stocked Disaster Supply Kit. Florida residents from West Palm Beach to Tampa Bay are heeding the alert. Store shelves are emptying of bottled water.

WHAT?!?! Those ARE our primary needs!!
I stopped at my Publix on way home...got stuff to make Philly cheesesteaks tonight:)
Got calls today from people wanting to know if they could evacuate to the hospital, if they could leave their cars in our parking lots/garages, if we’re providing meals to the public....unbelievable.

Talk about dodging a bullet. Still here. Really blowing in San Juan. I think this is peak storm for us right now.
Getting dark. Lost a huge ficus tree next door. Our balcony awning is gone. I heard a glass crash downstairs outside. Hope is not our new VW Golf!
Can’t wait for it to go away.
NN, I don’t actually have a ham radio. I have a friend who does and he’s like my relay. He enjoys doing that for everyone.
Almost over for us...

Waves are expected to be about 20’ in the Miami/FLL area by Sunday night. That would be on top of the surge.
Thanks. I will look for the simulation.

I'm sure you fielded the questions in a most professional manner, and told them, "No, the hospital does not provide for those requests...but you can come hang at my place as long as you like!"
