Hurricane Irma is Looking "Super" Gnarly

[PNWbrit]

If I was in Australia it would be more of a concern.

My sister in Melbourne this morning reported power & water out. Lots of debris in the yard, saw Dorothy & Toto fly by earlier yesterday.

Try and keep up...

Crazy that there's basically no NW flow in N. America. We need Jose to go away at some point.

Almost looks like Irma is sucking Jose right in

My 15kW generator started up so very nicely and the AC is on, and the beer is cold. Mainly tree damage here, but one place seems to have some minor damage.

My first real hurricane here, and realized that having all the big windows to the west is a good thing.

good to hear.

I talked to my sis and Brother inlaw Sunday morning while it was howling in Pompano Beach. Generator was going they had all services.
they are not answering the phone today?

Little concerned until I hear from them

yikes!


From space, these Caribbean islands were green. Irma turned them brown.

NASA tweeted out side-by-side images of the Caribbean on Aug. 25 and Sept. 10 — before and after Irma hit. The images were captured by the Operational Land Imager on the Landsat 8 satellite.

Before, the islands are a bright green. After, they're a dull brown color:

and turned the sea from grey to light blue too.

Just fyi. the winds go in a counterclockwise rotation her in the Grteat satan, meaning that they go east to west, thus not impacting my major windows. Did I type slow enough?

The ocean was dirty mop water before Irma, nice and blue after. She also took care of some weeding on those islands.

Hurricane Massengill.

Your sarcasm meter is broken.

It kind of is. Jose was first expected to recurve out to sea south of Bermuda, then it was thought it would do a little jig and then head for Block Island, and now it is doing a full loop and aiming at Mar-al-lago.

Any one else getting the feeling that the gods are pissed at the US of A? I'm bumping up my earth quake insurance.

But even a broken sarcasm meter is right 2x/day?

No doubt from the cocaine and prescription drug laced effluent coming from the cruise ships in St. Thomas?

[Skistack]

Could Jose and Irma join forces. Josirma? Irmse? Hurpocalypse?

I don't know about those CNN people, but the weather channel guys live for that shit. Mike Bettes spent nearly an hour of unbroken reporting in the eye wall in Naples yesterday. Normal people don't do that.

No doubt from the cocaine and prescription drug laced salmon?

FIFY

Oh, right. Silly me. You're safe, my bad. Put on a west facing extension. It'll be good, I'm sure.
Florida should change its building codes so that all large, unprotected windows face west. Problem solved! Make another drink and enjoy the sunset.

Can I say it one last time....JUST FUCKING STOP!

All safe and sound in and around Sarasota. Once it came ashore in Marco i knew we were good to go. Classic pattern once it makes landfall.

Anyone you haven't heard from is fine. Our power has been out since 8pm last night. Generator running the fridge and freezer. Beautiful day today 81 with a westerly breeze. Nice day for chain saw duty!!

Thanks for the love and support Benny. Stay in CT where the living is easy and the children are all above average.

No but your brain if pretty fucking slow. You do realize that hurricanes blow in a circle, right?

The Bunny is from everywhere... and nowhere... he can be found anywhere there's a chance of a breakfast buffet.

Don't try and tie him down!

Well unless it's a chairlift... then it's probably a good idea.

It's the ramp he struggles with.

Yup, here we go. Just stop, leave me alone, and, when the next one hits, there will be a few million more in the path.
Dude, you ain't supposed to be living there. Take a hint. But, yeah, just like in my old neighborhood in Westchester, only the comfortable have generators to keep the beer cold and the internet cruising. Ain't modern life grand.

Good to hear, we have a couple refugees from Venice about to head back down.

[spanky]

Mom in Venice is fine. When she returned home this morning, she said her power was on and digital clocks displayed the correct time. It appears she didn't even lose power.

Childhood friend in Naples is OK. He's still without power and indicated he lost a tree.

For the most part, it wasn't as bad as it could've been.
