Hurricane Irma Live Thread Part II
NHC/NOAA ^ | NHC/NOAA | NHC/NOAA

Posted on 09/07/2017 8:09:47 AM PDT by NautiNurse

Dangerous Category 5 Hurricane Irma had a devastating impact on islands in the Caribbean.

Hurricane and Storm surge watches were issued Thursday morning for South Florida. The Florida Keys began evacuating visitors and residents, followed by flood zones in Miami and Miami Beach. Sarasota FL declared a local state of emergency Thursday morning.

Polk County FL Sheriff Grady Judd said Wednesday that law enforcement authorities would check the identities of people who turn up at shelters--and take to jail anyone found to have an active arrest warrant. “If you go to a shelter for Irma and you have a warrant, we’ll gladly escort you to the safe and secure shelter called the Polk County Jail... “If you have a warrant, turn yourself in to the jail — it’s a secure shelter.” Judd also posted that sex offenders and sex predators would not be admitted to the shelters. "We cannot and we will not have innocent children in a shelter with sexual offenders & predators. Period." Judd's statements unleashed a liberal firestorm via Twitter.

Didn’t the UKMET have that track early on?

**********************************************

Yes, they had it hitting the west coast from the very beginning. They moved it a little east one time, and then right back to west coast again.

Thank God. Many of us have been praying.

Will you have to separate from your kitties once you arrive, or will your lodging places let you stay together?

“Notice that they have it hanging round for a day in Tennessee”

And we here in the Knoxville area aren’t happy about that. Hubby was at Home Depot today, and there was a run on generators.

It does appear that the ‘good end’ of Tennessee will be spared...relatively speaking.

I can’t even imagine what Highway 1 must be like now.

OTOH, maybe it’s relatively uncrowded as many have already fled.

I’m guessing it’ll turn into a real mess as you get north of Key Largo and try to get onto Highway 821 to get to US-75.

In Marathon, the Voice Of America has a set of really tall antennae that broadcast (Radio Marti) into Cuba. If the winds are as bad as expected, I suspect those towers will be toppled. I don’t know if their broadcast facilities are there though.

Yikes!

There could be potentially substantial damage to the theme parks in the Orlando area: Disney World, Universal Studios Florida and Sea World.

There are many, many thousands of people who evacuated So FL to Orlando.

My fear, with so much family in Central Florida, is another jog west where Irma goes up the west side of Florida with the center of circulation offshore.

CJ, Whew!, and God bless.
BTW - There are plenty rooms in the ATL area. Check my posts to you. We *will* get wind/rain but no storm surge. (I’m prepping as I post)

Storm surges are the killers for anyone not in ‘cane country.

Copied everyone else you responded to your post (I think).

The forecast tracks appear to show Irma picking up forward speed over Florida.
