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.

Florida Power and Light isn’t Southern, it’s NextEra. (Gulf Power that serves the Panhandle is part of Southern.)

Heard they are actually feral cats but they caught them and took them inside.

Someone is walking their dog on the beach in the Keys in that live cam? Dang. Now that is a bit cray cray.

Maybe he's going to fight the storm like LT Dan in Forrest Gump. Remember that scene?

Loved your rules!

My 2 SILs both live in the Philadelphia area and are both bent out of shape that we didn’t just pack the kids up in the car and take a “vacation” up to see them. In my Lincoln Navigator that gets 12 MPG on a good day. I wouldn’t even make it out of the state from Clearwater at that rate.

I read they put them in cages and they all evacuated.

In that sat image we are seeing the increase in water vapor diameter of the storm, not necessarily in wind speed or pressure drop.

It does however indicate how much water vapor is in the hurricane’s storm clouds — this is increasing from the warmer strait waters, IMHO

I am not a meteorologist but merely a retired contractor, and we know everything.

Oh that is much better news than leaving them in the Hemingway house because tbh feral cats would fair much better on their vs trapped in a house being hit with a cat 4 hurricane. The house would be a death trap.

Ima set up some bouys, and set a priceless Tiffany vase on each. Your job is to drive an aircraft carrier thru my course without breaking glass. And I’m setting the gates very tight.

Everything comes down to this one hard turn.

When and where it starts (started?).. when, where, and what direction it stops.

And Irma weighs exactly 643674357532237778.3 times as much as the Nimitz.

All else is mostly nervous chatter and newbs to the thread.

Speaking of new threads...any intel?

Speak of dogs my 2 labs have been really subdued today. They want to stay near me and seem to not want to move much. They prefer enclosed areas. Neither wants to run or play.
