I figured that with Irma looking to be possibly worse than Harvey, she deserved her own thread. Hope all you Grogs and your families/friends that may end up being in her path, stay safe. 

While Irma may end up being a monster, I can't help but admire this photo of her. :o

My parents are right in its path.

So is Starfury, I think.

God speed.

Do you live on that side of Florida?

You are also in its path; this storm could just as likely skirt up the coast into NY/New England as hit Florida.  Everyone on the east coast should start making their preparations now, before it becomes a problem...bottled water, canned food and batteries are worth having on hand, and are non-perishable so if you don't use them, they'll still be good for next year.

I wish my cousin would get their little girl out of Central Florida while there's time. But though we've offered to help expedite that, with plenty of grandparents and granduncle/aunts and other relatives up here...  :'(

I'm in S.W. Florida about 40 miles north of Ft. Myers and about the same inland. If the new tracks hold-up, we'll get rain and wind but probably no hurricane force winds. That'd be OK, that's pretty normal with these storms and since she's really hauling-ass( 16 mph) it won't be around very long so flooding's not a big threat. We may loose power for awhile--I just got a brand new generator fortunately. But at 61 I've seen enough of these things to know only God knows where she's really going and Irma is a monster--Godzilla not Frankenstein I saying. Maybe I'll get the chance to get some good Irma-pics and post them, when I have power again that is.

Hopefully it tracks far enough east that you're spared the worst of it, Slash.

Yeah, it is a beautiful storm from space.  O0
My parents are in Pensacola. I'm hoping it turns before it hits anywhere along Florida and gets pushed back out to sea. I also hope it keeps clear of my house in Virginia.
