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'm sorry I haven't been around much lately, but I just wanted to let everyone know you're in my thoughts and I'll say a prayer for everyone in the path of the storm.  Stay safe!!!

Latest update is VERY good for the East coast of Florida: looks very much like this will definitely be a west coast of Florida hurricane. Phew. But if you pray, pray for the Florida Keys: they will be facing a Cat 4 hurricane.

Hang in there, man. Still will get some tropical storm high wind gusts over here on the east coast because Irma is so massive. Tampa is going to get nailed also with a Cat 3

Stay safe all...Sounds like Storm Surge is what's giving many pause right now.

In Ocala and riding it out, contingency plan is to head to Asheville N.C. as well.

Was going to ride it out in Sarasota but decided, "Fuck that shit!". High tailed it to friends house in Orlando. Stay safe fellow Floridians!

Florida better send Cuba a thank you note.  Took a Cat 5 bullet and weakened it to a 3.  Just hope there isn't enough time for Irma to crank up again before Florida.

My neighbor is announcing his candidacy for the 2017 Darwin award...he's outside in the rain, up on a ladder, with gusts probably in the 40-50 mph range trying to prune some branches....which are no where near his home...I'm trying to video tape it so his next of kin will know how he spent the last moments of his life...
