We're right on the water in a single story house. Highway 75 is 30 mph max all the way from Marco to Tampa!

Are you on the road now Bergy? Heard that the traffic wasn't that bad earlier.

Thanks everyone. My family is my first priority, obviously, so we'll play it by ear as to whether we evac or hunker down. Whatever keeps them safe will be my decision.

This is footage from the Maho Beach web cam on St. Maarten of Irma coming through with 185 MPH winds. Maho beach is where you watch the airplanes fly low into the airport on the island. The famous Sunset Bar is there also. The wife and I have been there several times.

Thoughts and prayers go out to those affected...

Latest forecast for Irma

Believe it or not - this is an improvement. They are now saying it will only be a Cat 4 when it makes landfall and quickly drop to a Cat 3. Andrew (1992) made landfall as a Cat 5.

Lee. let's not paint a pretty picture?

Andrew, even though a Cat 5, just went east/west across the Homestead Miami area. Irma, running north/south and inland even at a lower Cat 3 after hitting land, could very well be much more destruction the Andrew???

Only good part is central Florida is less populated than the coastlines.

I Honeymooned for 3 weeks last summer in Cuba (being Canadian I've been there 4 times). And some of their housing is just grass-hut construction? Those are the people I'm concerned for as I've seen first hand their living conditions and being a poor country. Cubans will survive, there the "Cayo's" (Cuban for Keys) are going to be hit pretty good being on the NW side just off the Island.

To all, be safe and take cover.

My thoughts are with everyone in the path of Irma and those that were in the path of Harvey.
