I have friends in West Palm area and Boynton Beach and such. They appear to be in the cross-hairs.
Too bad they're not Dutch. They'd be prepared if they were Dutch. Would 'twere we were Dutch....then we'd know how to handle these things.

Re: Hurricane Irma
My son Nick is at the University of North Carolina, in Raleigh. I think that's a fair way in from the coast, so probably he'll just get a lot of rain...

Laklak - the damn thing shifted west and the track has it going straight up the middle of the state. Crap.

Re: Hurricane Irma
State of emergency declared in British Virgin Islands. Apparently the hurricane has destroyed a lot of off-shore banking records, with ferocious winds literally flinging important paperwork into the shredders.
750,000 residents of Florida's barrier islands and coastal areas, along with 250,000 residents of Palm Beach County have been ordered to evacuate - not advised, ordered.
Hurricane Jose gathering in strength.
Blimey!

Re: Hurricane Irma
Yep, looks like Hurricane Donna all over again. There are even some models that put landfall around Naples, if it does that we're pretty much fucked. We're going to head out tomorrow night after I batten everything down. Gonna put some more lines on the boat, more fenders, take down all the canvass, and isolate all the electronics. We'll take the back roads up to the Panhandle somewhere, or maybe go see a mate in Atlanta. Hope there's something to come home to next week.

Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Re: Hurricane Irma
Fingers crossed for you lak. Hopefully your biggest drama will be getting stuck in traffic and having to pooh in a bag.

I hope CES is going to be OK. He lives in Florida too. Maybe 42 can give him a lift interstate.
