Please this thread is for those to sign in or for us to tag peeps in the affected areas. I'm hoping for the best, and that no one gets hurt.  |

OK so far. We are SE coast of FL. Still have power. Been up since 3:30. Areas north and south are flooding but we are OK.

So far we're good, but it will be later today until the true trouble starts. We've had some rain and wind, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Yo! The rain has started but it's going to be another 8 hours or so for the "fun" to begin. Bayshore Blvd's water has all disappeared due to the wind. It'll be back. On my FB page is the story of the water disappearing out of the Hillsborough River. Weird but cool.

East side of central Florida is doing fine. Rain, wind has started to pick up a bit but nothing too crazy yet. A couple mobile home parks aren't doing so great, but I know POM isn't in one and I'm not sure of anyone else on this board that's in east Central Florida.

Still not too bad. There's a lot of tornado warnings popping up closer to the coast (might be in Paul's area...not sure where he lives) but so far not for my or POM's area. News is saying it looks like any will stay pretty close to the coast, winds are moving slower further inland.

very windy and consent rain. The worst is yet to come. Stay safe peeps.
I won't be on the boards too much today/tonight. But I will check in when I can.

From work group text there's a few areas that have lost power but myself, family, and friends are still good.

Here! <<raises hand>> Ugh! This is already horrible where we are and it's not even scheduled to hit us fully until 4:00 a.m. Thankfully DH decided to board up most of our windows and sliders after all. The winds are slamming the few windows that aren't covered (but on the side between houses) and our Tornado siren went off at least once that we could hear. Our pond was over full where the weir is under the water before it even got heavy rains out there and our yard was already covered by my poor garden/shrubs/trees. I just hope the Bougainvillea doesn't come down ripping the back of the house off at the same time it's so huge (but recently cut back flusher to the wall).  We got a wind gust yesterday early that tore the Don Juan climbing Rose down and DH looked at me and said "Our yard is screwed". LOL! Justme - We were the first city in FL to get Tornado sirens after the Triple Threats of Charley et al and they've already gone off. It wasn't a test.  But it was the city close to us that I think got the tornado - if anybody did. DH's dad called us. He's North FL almost to GA ( Value Buy aren't you near there? I hope you are okay too) and his power has been out for hours at a time IIRC. He's many hours from us so we can't even help him with anything. We have curfews any way and we'd get killed on the roads. DH talked to him tonight so I think that's what he said. Ours only goes out seconds at a time. You'd think I'd stop resetting the time on the microwave and stove by now but I want "normal" around here as much as possible. It's going to be a loooooong night and day tomorrow and I'm so worried about our Hillbilly Lake House in another county closer to the West coast. Ya'll hang on! ETA: Power is out again and on battery. I better get off here. Stay safe everybody and those of you that are safe - Pray for us or put us in your thoughts!  |

I saw one meme where Florida moved itself to between Montana and the Dakotas? It said "We've had enough!" |

Geeze, you won't see this POM but stay safe! If power is still out for you email me (better notification for me than dm on here) because knock on wood I'm so far good power wise though the night is not over yet.

Also this froggy is checking in. Probably a bit pissed I won't let him in my apt but he should be pretty sheltered just outside of it.  |

Where is Clearwater in regards to the track this thing is taking? I have friends there and I am just not sure. And really really hoping they evuacted if need be.
Hope my MIL's condo doesn't get too clobbered. At least she isn't down there. Thank God.

My brother is in Clearwater too, it's just west of Tampa. Last I heard they expect the eye to pass right over them in a few hours. Just talked to my brother and they still have power.

I think they will still have gone somewhere else for a while though because they live in a trailer. They're strange but not completely crazy!!! Maybe. She's coming up here for Thanksgiving and wants snow so that does make here crazy in my book. |

They're saying it's supposed to drop to a Category 1 by the time it hits Tampa, so I'm feeling better that my brother and his family are going to be ok through this. |

I know the news has this all over the place but I am just not positive on locations. I know Ft. Myers and Orlando. That's it. |

There's going to be a 11pm news report about Irma on CNN. I don't have cable. I'll check out the site. Thanks. You might be able to google Clearwater and Irma and find the local News. (here's a site - not sure if it has video or not: www.tbo.com/news/weather/hurricanes/sunday-irma-reintensifies-into-category-4-western-shift-heightens-tampa/2336915) I just spent 24hrs watching hourly online updates on WINK news (for the Fort Myers Area) on line. That news was more useful and timely than the news in other areas. (I also was watching various traffic cameras -- until they stopped broadcasting earlier this afternoon - after Irma made landfall. ) All my people are safe and relieved the "hurricane part" is over - now we're all waiting to find out how bad the storm surge will be - no one sheltered in place - so everyone gets to spend another night at the "shelter". Tomorrow will tell. Hang in there! |
