Irma now a Cat 5...

[walnuttree]

My Brother and his wife are near Winter Haven Florida in a mobile home park. Family was trying to fly them out but that didn't materialize due to half ask dilly dallying , now he's stuck there but so are most of his neighbors. They are preparing best they can. They have good neighbors which seem to stick together and help each other. I guess the whole state can't just up and leave. I hope they survive it with little damage.

I wish we could just pull the plug on Irma. It will be nothing short of a miracle that this isn't a total disaster.

I've been trying to figure that out too.
What causes a Hurricane ?

The low pressure center is what causes the hurricane to form and grow.

so all they need do is find a way to Raise the Pressure. Right ?

I'm about 35mi east of you (Astor) and no water here either. I'm all gassed up tho and may head north when I get a better grip on the path of the storm. Taking the detectors of course.

There are some advised warnings that the St Johns River may overflow its banks in some counties.

Sounds like a prayer request. I'm down with that.

My younger brother is on the middle left coast. He went to work today and his boss told him he should of bugged out yesterday. I think my brother is stubborn enough to stay. It is out of my hands, that's for sure.

I had that thought as well, but according to the google wizards it wouldn't work due to the sheer size of the hurricane.

The 11:00PM projection now show Irma going up the center of the state, Orlando, Disneyworld, the Villages, Ocala/Silver Springs (Oh NO!), Gainesville (How about them Gators)...
In addition to the wind snapping trees and tossing all sorts of projectiles, when the ground gets saturated, old oak trees get uprooted and just fall, many times crashing into homes with these trees in their yards- I have one in my front yard, and another on my neighbors property line in my back yard.

Not me brother !!! My family is in winterhaven, and left yesterday morn. They went to an empty lego land today and rode the rides by themselves !! I evacuated 1 1/2 blocks over to the "vault". Its a 2 story reinforced concrete bunker of a house. The lot it is on is 15 feet above sea level and the 2nd floor is 25. All the emergency vehicles are prestaged here. This house is built for it. Just me the cat and my neighbor. We were given permission to hunker down here by the owner who's a friend of both of ours. This will be much better than being stranded miles from my home for god knows how long. Ill take my chances on the highest part of key largo in a shelter that was designed for this with my valuables, weapons, supplies and survival gear with me.

I made it out! Only took 11hours.
Went 27 to 98, then 19 on into Ga.
Sisnlaw & mil left Belleglade 9:30 this morning, I left Ft Laud at noon.
I finally caught them at the Waffle House in Thomasville. We're exhausted.

Prayers for all.....

Good to hear you made it out, at this point I can't believe anyone without a bunker, water, food, and fuel is staying put.

Talking with a few folks yesterday about Irma, all agreed when somebody stated the following.

"We might get winter, our seasons are short, but having not to deal with things like this makes our little part of the world wonderful."

Be safe everyone, hope that this weekend passes with little damage and she blows right through for you all.
