If you had to guess would you think that Irma goes right up the middle of the state or hits the Keys goes into the Gulf and makes a second landing on the Gulf coast?
Or is there another track?

I booked directly with the hotel. Someone else used Trivago and didn’t end up any better than my experience.

You would think. She has lived in Florida for 11 years now. I was just there during Tropical Storm Emily; a lot of rain but the roads sure flooded fast.

Mood from newcomers to Fl...what’s the big deal...mood from long time Floridians. ..sober.

Mood about newcomers will be sober at their funerals.

Might be good if we listed the top sites for finding hotels on here,probably a lot of people looking.

No hint of veering off its Cat 5 track in that loop.

I think if you go to TripAdvisor it will pull up rates from several sites. I usually seem to have better luck going to the hotel website though.

Is that landfall now?

Where is Miami in relation to that?

Man, Irma looks like a dead ringer for that 1935 Labor Day storm, doesn’t it?

Landfall within 24 hours in the Leeward Islands (you can see them outlined on the left side of the image). Miami is about five days to the west of that.

Labor Day storm actually blew up to Cat 5 in the Florida Straits and was a compact storm. Irma is already Cat 5 a long ways out and is turning into a large storm.

I would recommend contacting a specific property. They may have a wait list. Ran into that last year when booking a room for evacuees from Matthew. Otherwise, there is Trivago, Hotels.com. I haven’t used either one, so can’t recommend.

No. We are on a boat. We just float over it.

Problem would be if the dock floats over the pilings and goes down the river. We had LOTS of docks in the area do this for Matthew, but, ours did not.

Good idea. I wonder if we have any freepers in the hotel/motel biz that could give us a good list to refer to. I have a feeling its gonna take a lotta looking at least in Fla. to find a room or motel.

She is teacher. I texted her before she arrived at school and her response to me was “?” No doubt by now she has been enlightened. Her husband is here in Michigan on business and I am sure he is frantic.

She was too busy playing with the grandkids and making ceviche yesterday to watch TV. I figured as much.
