Hurricane Irma forms in Atlantic

Only have two now and they're early trash. Sold a couple a while back. Standby for another coming out late fall hopefully.

 

euro model not looking good for the entire state of florida

 

Great. At least I might not get the eye just the NE quadrant.

What's really messed up is we're sitting here hoping that it will come in as "only" a Cat 4.

This sucks.

 

You're making me feel better already

 

Hello, not gonna read 20 pages on this but we made it through Irma with no problem....power out, running on generator, lots of downed banana trees and broken branches and bird nests everywhere.
Probably couldn't get to Rincon to surf anyway with the roads like they probably are. Doubt if it's any good. S$rfline cams down
Winds on the west end of the island were not too bad, maybe gusts to 50-60, (overnight) so we'll live to see another day and another storm.

What's with all the "Moderator Forum" posts?
Like a psy-op...great way to kill a forum guys.

F I'm exausted! Last night I hung the plywood we used last year on the windows we covered. Today worked a full schedule, cut the lawn front / back on my lunch break, then cut more wood and hung on the rest of the windows after work till it got dark. Only one left, drill died at the end. Got time to tomorrow still, probably work a half day and tie up any lose ends and then lock myself in the dungeon. Should be an interesting storm.

 

I'll finish putting up my shutters tomorrow. The stress of just waiting to see where this storm is going is killing me. I did notice that the SI surf forecast for Ft. Lauderdale on Sunday shows the top wind speed at 81mph. I can only hope that is true.

 

Bottled water is already selling out in VB.

 

To all you SI friends in the South--best of luck to all of you. Hope you all make it by unscathed and unharmed!!
It will be one hell of a tube ride!!!

 

Hope you all stay safe in Florida. I have a lot of people I care about in Florida. Most of my family still lives there, around Pinellas County, as well as a couple of close and longtime friends, and my best friend's parents, who I'm as close to as my own parents, are in Venice. Also have a really good friend in Jacksonville and another in Delray Beach, who is evacuating.

My mom and my uncle are up in Cape May right now, but live in Treasure Island for most of the year.

 

Wait, why mow the lawn? Anyways, stay safe.

 

The SI surf forecast for Ft. Lauderdale this Sunday now shows the top wind speed at 52mph. I hope you SI forecasters know something that no one else does.

 

I'm in Treasure island weighing my options. Unfortunately I live on the water sp it looks like I will be leaving. We are under mandatory evacuation but I will stay until Sat. I have extra water, food and gas and a place inland to hunker down. Stay safe!

 

I don't get that either. There's a lawn service guy at a business down the street right now cleaning up the lawn clippings with a leaf blower. WTF? We're gonna have a helluva leaf blow here soon.

 

Wourde.

Where you at bro? Dania? Hollywood? East? West?
