RE: Irma went West instead of East, Miami is spared, Tampa Bay is in the crosshairs
Thank you @davebrewer
I am in Florida and awaiting the arrival of this huge storm. Fortunately, the westward move helped since I live on the east coast and evacuated to the Orlando area. I only pray that people took stock of things and concluded that human life is much more important than stuff. Back in the late 90s, I lost most of my stuff when the house I lived in was struck by a tornado in a hurricane. Two decades later, I have more stuff than I know what to do with.
Stuff is replaceable, human life is not.
Thank you for your continued posting.
Be safe in Orlando, you are probably going to get some winds at Hurricane speed by 2am or 3am tomorrow morning. But not CAT3. Should be CAT1 or maybe even just tropical storm level. Lots of tornadoes popping up all over Florida - although mostly the tornadoes are in North East quadrant of the storm front, as the large storm swirl hits the East coast of Florida.
Thank you @davebrewer
Yes I saw on the news this morning that there was a tornado watch near where I live. Fortunately, it was far enough away from my place that it shouldnt be a problem. Storm surge is what could affect my neighborhood since it is beachside.
The westward shift did move where I am presently outside the cone...this is a nasty one....Atlanta and Birmingham are going to feel the effects of this.
