Hurricane Irma - coming my way!

For those of you who are in Florida, leave. This is far bigger than anything you, or Florida has experienced before. Hurrican Andrew hit in 92, this is 4 times larger and Andrews path didn't run up the entire state. Irma is a very different beast and I can tell you already that the name Hurricane Irma will be retired after this storm. I've just looked where you both are near Tampa, and yes you don't look to sustain a direct hit and encounter the eye wall st this time. But Irma is a very fast changing and developing storm, and every time a model comes out something changes with her. I expect her to actually strengthen further before making landfall around Key Largo in the early hours of Sunday. The water temps are higher than usual at around 31c which will fuel this even further. If you can get out, then leave. If you can't, pray.

The experts predict it will skim the east coast of Florida and hit the Carolina's and head north, but this chart doesn't see it heading north anytime soon.
This is my third summer in Florida and the locals have been warning me each summer that one is due.... (been 10 years since Tampa got a direct hit)
For those not in the know, Tampa Bay is diagonally down to the left from the letter F (in the FL)

On the bright side, the Adam Ant concert I have a ticket for on Friday should be OK!

My grandad lives in Tampa Bay too & I spoke to him last night to see what they were expecting. He said the predictions of the path are currently all saying it'll make its way up the east coast, so it looks like you'll avoid a direct hit. He also said they were planning on lowering the pool by 6 inches for the heavy rain though!
 
Just watched a news article on the Miami Zoo preparing for Irma, what a nightmare for a caged animal.....as if being caged up weren't bad enough in the first place
 
I was looking for my house and then I found my house, but heaven knows I'm miserable now.

In my life, why I do smile,
at debris that is hellbent on, piercing my eyes.
