OP: September 06, 2017, 08:04:29 PM
I figured this would be a nice place to inquire about or post your status for members or family members. We care about those too!

I'm in Tampa.. Doing fine right now. Who was in Ft Meyers? I'm so sorry.. :-[ no expectations? Never say never?

I looked and my sister is in Lake Wales, more inland from Tampa.

I'm watching the storm pattern.  She's hunkering down.

Gman,

Current track has irma headed your way more than mine.  We are still expecting hurricane force winds though.

Thunder, your sister will most likely get hurricane force too.

Stay safe, everyone!

Praying for you all, at this moment the hurricane has not really turned towards the north yet so who knows where it will really go.

Try to stay safe.

Be safe Gman. Praying for you.

Caribbean is going to get hit again. Daughter is now bracing for Hurricane Jose. Cat 2 already. She and the XH are bracing for round 2. Katina is next. All prayers are appreciated.

USVI is devastated.

OD sent pictures of the hospital, it's destroyed. Navy has set up Pop up Hospitals. Many businesses have been destroyed. The roof on over OD's apartment is gone. She may have to move because of mold. The conditions are desperate, and I'm starting a Go Fund Me campaign tomorrow. If I can post pictures, I will.

Most people have lost almost everything they own. They're in need of everything. Everything is imported, and they aren't receiving much aid due to the new storms approaching. They are in need of clean water, and other basic hygiene necessities. Food will become an issues soon.

OD and friends have enough to last a few weeks, but other people have lost everything, so they're sharing. It won't last long.

Please pray for everyone on all of the islands that have been hit. They're about to hit again, possibly by both Hurricanes Jose (cat 2) and Katina (tropical depression).

Its headed right over me. Keeping an eye on it. I can head west to my parents house, who are in Ny. But that puts me towards the bad wind.. But I've got the water on my side and may need to evacuate so I'm keeping eye on everything..

All I can say is this is gonna suck.



I hope your daughter comes through ok as well as everyone else affecred over there AbFab!

Thunder, it should be better over in the middle if the state since Irma has moved over so far.

NoE, I hope you're ok! OMG prayers all around!!

gman, I was thinking of you all day, as I'm been watching the storm path change.
Also for my sister.

It does sound like you are in the path right now.  Can you leave a go upward to upper FL?
Maybe just keep driving away from it as much as you can?

I have friends in Georgia who may be in the path also.

I'm still hoping there may be a turn in this storm....or at least a big down grade on the winds expected.
Keep us posted....and stay safe.
