Florida and Other Coastal Longshippers - Be Safe!
Hey, not sure if you guys are evacuating or are going to ride it out. In any case, be safe, best wishes, and give us updates when you can. This Irma looks like a real "bitch" of a hurricane with 180 mph winds. Are you kidding me?
Take care!
I was wondering the same thing about the Florida peeps and any others in Irma's path. Do what you gotta do to stay safe.
Riding it out as of now...I have contingency plans to head to Asheville, North Carolina if need be...I'm guessing Sticky is busy getting out of Dodge about now...

Riding it out. Staying with friends about 4 miles west of us in a strong house as we are in a rental house because we are about 2/3s thru a new house build.

The Big Bad Wolf approves this post...be safe...
Be safe all. In my area we are hunkering down. It all depends on the wind for us on Gulf Coast areas. I am lucky so far as I am fairly high ground. So mainly worried about wind and flying debris.
I'm not in the immediate danger area like the people in Florida and along the coasts of GA and SC but they have the tracking showing the storm should move over us (Greenville SC) Monday thru Tuesday with 60 to 70 mph winds and plenty of storms and tornado warnings. What's sucks about that is I've had Monday and Tuesday off since they released the schedule. I was looking forward to kicking back watching the Vikes/Saints Monday night. Now I'm not sure if we'll have power. Very small gripe compared to the real dangers others are facing but a gripe nonetheless.
Best of wishes for all of you in harm's way. SKOL
Right now the forecast is calling for 2-6" of rain for the Tampa Bay area, and tropical storm winds of 39-79 mph...hitting in two days...I think I've been in worse blizzards...
As a side note, I still haven't died from Ebola...

The wind will be the issue. Not worried about rain at all.
9 out of 10 deaths or injuries are related to flooding and storm surge, not the wind during a hurricane.
We will all be hoping for the best for you and thinking about you throughout this storm.
To all those in the path of this... I wish the best for you.... and
Don't be stupid.
Keep your heads down and snorkels close! I'll take living in tornado alley over hurricane alley every time. Stay safe yawl!!
11 am update: path shifts slightly west again. The Keys still in it deep, Miami a little less but it could go up the West coast of Florida instead of the East coast now

That's what I heard this morning too, with the "eye" going directly towards Naples. Good luck, Sticky.

Thanks Happy. Its rough because while this latest update is very good for where I live in Boca Raton (East side), its bad for people on the west side, like Naples. And it could change again at the 2 pm update. Such a yo-yo of emotions. Hurricane fatigue already and its not even here yet.
Yeah looking more and more like us on the West side are gonna get hit hard.
