Now it is Florida's turn for a cat 4 or 5 Hurricane, I live north of Tampa on the west coast and my boys live Ft Lauderdale area we are going to be hit with a major storm on Saturday. All the store shelf's are empty gas lines and all roads north bumper to bumper.

Live south of Tampa, so yeah,

Live south of Tampa, so yeah, been preparing for whatever comes.

Lucky for us, it seems, most of this is going to... again... skirt along the coast after hitting Miami.

I just hope any of us who are closer to the path of Irma stay safe <3

And I live

west of Tampa - we have Tampa surrounded! It's just sit and wait for the moment.

Thoughts and prayers to all

We love our family vacations to WDW Orlando Florida. We would have been there too this week and next. So I guess we were lucky again. Last time we vacationed was a week after the last one last year.

Yup

I'm here in St Pete, riding it out. Looks like there's quite a few of us here in the Bay Area... Sendind all my FL neighbors all the good vibes I can.

I know I’m weird. The fact that I’m trans is probably one of the more normal things about me.

Hang in there

I was seeing how they are warning of storm surge on both sides of the pan handle of Florida. I hope you can get out if it stays a Cat 5, you are not going to want to be anywhere well maybe a reinforced concrete structure, but very little else. 185mph wind that is just mean, at least it is moving at speed and will be there and out quickly. Good Luck and God Bless or what ever you believe in.

What a Mess

Miami is going to be a disaster, pretty sure they aren't ready for a CAT5. I'm up ways north so we'll be seeing a bit as well but hope your boys are OK in Ft Lauderdale. Dia dul in éineacht leat to you and yours and anyone else in the way of this monster..

The sad thing is the Mayor of Miami has said...

If new developement in Miami stops the city will go under with property values collapsing over night, because they are using the taxes from that to try and pump the streets dry at high tide, and if they people do not keep buying they will go bankrupt, that may finally happen and if it does I feel it will be a domino effect on the entire real-estate market in Florida.

Hoping for best

I'll be thinking of all the people already affected by the storm, and those under its threat. Come back as soon as you can all those of our friends on here and let us know you are Ok, as we may lose communications soon.

by the time it gets here to pinellas county around 11pm tonight. i'm more worried about the raccoon family that lives in my oak tree and the feral (but fixed) cats in the neighborhood. the next 10-12 hours should be interesting. good vibes to everybody in the Tampa bay area.

a man's reach should exceed his grasp,. Or what's a heaven for?

Good Thoughts

I hope all you in Florida survive the storm. I know what it is like to live through one.

My thought are with you guys/gals.
