Large part of my family is in the Tampa Area. But they work for the county and so are staying and manning evac shelters.
 
here's a "LIVE" channel of Irma onshore....
looks like Naples is getting flooded quick....

Glad to hear Michael is heading north, godspeed...


59- do y'all have a generator??? Sounds and looks like your going to get a shitload of water your way.... again, Godspeed be with y'all...

 
Haven't heard from any of my relatives in Florida, so I guess they have no power.

...oh we're OK here...we'll likely only get about 45-50 mph winds and a shitload of rain. Just talked to my Brother in Sanford and he said he has already lost power...Mom, who lives about 12 miles from him still has power. (she decided to stay)

That's good to hear Ron.
 
I just got up and turned on The Weather Channel and these Idiots are still riled up. :lol:
 
59- how much rain have y'all had thus far, and how much more are you expecting?


any word from Michael anyone???

I seriously thought this thing was going to park over southern GA, northern F-L-A, and all hell would of been left behind under water.....

getting conflicting reports now from news as to where the eye is at, or if its broken up. Sad enough even TWC or Weather Underground can and have been hours late in posting any info at all, incl rainfall et al.

but then that's why no one needs a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, the sun shines, or it rains, snows, etc, et-cet-era...!

Great. It's amazing how fast power can be and is restored in the South. It's obvious most of these states have invested in systems to quickly restore what's down.

I was wondering, f you had a generator; yet knowing your a very long time Joejahn gentleman, I assumed as much... Y'all see some hellacious storms year after year.

When I think of that neck of the woods, I think of moving my family of high school boys on the rural northern outskirts (3miles north) of Perry off of hwy 41. I think of our house there, where the 12 foot wide window was like a Theater Screen, giving us a great 180 degree view of the pines 1/4 mile north, with relentless endless lightning bolts, and thunder loud enough to rattle the china in the house, even the reinforced storm windows rattled, or that might of been the windows solid frames themselves.....that was more entertaining than watching most movies....

Glad to hear y'all are ok. I had the worst feeling, Irma was going to park directly over your house 59... glad it moved out, without worse damage. I can only imagine how many trees are down there. Pines galore, Pecan, Oak. Georgia blew my mind as to the virtual beauty of its rural forests, plains, lakes plenty of 'em, with the best Bass fishing I've ever found in my life. Funny cuz we've gone out of our way to fish some lakes that are part of the Bass Angler's year long tourny, without catching a damn thing. A typical day in Ga, was a stringer full of 3-15 lb big mouth, some small mouth too.....
 
revision to above: 2nd line is: systems, and s/b (should be) Infrastructure and it's overall maintenance of such....

Georgia's highways and interstates, are incredibley much better than any in Caly.
 
Holy Shit..... I just got pictures of my Brothers house in Venice, It's completely destroyed.
 
Irma tore south Florida a new one but upon arrival in the Tampa area it turned into a wimp. We were fortunate at my house down trees excepted no major damage to the house or cars. Power went out at 0530 on Monday now back up at 1537 today. Had to follow the games on a smartphone Yankees played well with some sleepers waling up.

...glad y'all came out of it relatively unscathed...Mom, who is in Winter Springs is still without power.
...fwiw, love the military time reference.
 
Shortly after I posted on the power situation the mother of thunderstorms hit and yep it went out again until 5:35PM today. An embarrassing find for the City of St. Pete was the poor condition of the electrical power stations and grids noted by out of state power & line company units who came to help. Duke Energy AKA Fluke Energy need some major overhauls instead of the band aid they have been applying. Glad to have the power back got my property clean up about 75 % done now I can use my power tools to finish.
 
...me and Annie are paying close attention to the other storm in the caribbean,
 
...^^^Yeah, they are saying Jose is supposed to go out to sea but ya just never know.

...Maria could be dangerous down around our way.
