I know there a lot of people from around the world and each has their own weather issues from time to time.
I figured I'd give an update of what's going on here.
I live in North Central Fl, near Gainesville. There are some members near Melbourne, and some near Tampa all over the state.
We currently have Hurricane Irma going to make landfall soon on the state between Tampa and the tip of Florida (Naples). It'll be a category 4 when it makes landfall, and will only slow down to about a low cat 3 by the time it gets to central Fl.
Unfortunately, it has moved westward and basically the whole state will be in the forward right quadrant which is where tornados and high wind gusts (excess of 100-120mph) occur.
I hope all that can evacuate have done so.Especially those in southern florida andalong the coast line. There is going to be storm surges to as much as 2 feet.
Anyone who can't evacuate, please make sure you have things in order and not just be like "Eh, this is gonna be no biggie". I was thinking that yesterday as it was going to be more eastward. But, now that it's moved westward, it'll be far worse than it was going to be before.
