Hurricane Irma Live Thread Part II
NHC/NOAA ^ | NHC/NOAA | NHC/NOAA

Posted on 09/07/2017 8:09:47 AM PDT by NautiNurse

Dangerous Category 5 Hurricane Irma had a devastating impact on islands in the Caribbean.

Hurricane and Storm surge watches were issued Thursday morning for South Florida. The Florida Keys began evacuating visitors and residents, followed by flood zones in Miami and Miami Beach. Sarasota FL declared a local state of emergency Thursday morning.

Polk County FL Sheriff Grady Judd said Wednesday that law enforcement authorities would check the identities of people who turn up at shelters--and take to jail anyone found to have an active arrest warrant. “If you go to a shelter for Irma and you have a warrant, we’ll gladly escort you to the safe and secure shelter called the Polk County Jail... “If you have a warrant, turn yourself in to the jail — it’s a secure shelter.” Judd also posted that sex offenders and sex predators would not be admitted to the shelters. "We cannot and we will not have innocent children in a shelter with sexual offenders & predators. Period." Judd's statements unleashed a liberal firestorm via Twitter.

“We (as a nation) don’t kill babies and applaud homosexual lifestyles without repercussions.”

Sadly I believe that after Irma it would take the San Andreas and Yellowstone going off followed by Las Palma collapsing/Tsunami before the nation as a whole would think about waking up.

Regarding evacuation on Interstates, I-16 will be westbound only (contraflow, normal eastbound lanes will be dedicated to westbound traffic for coastal evacuation) from Savannah to Dublin starting Saturday at 8AM.

It’s tough going, isn’t it? Harder than I thought, despite all the conventional wisdom telling me about her care. I guess I thought my siblings and I were superhuman. We’re not.

If you want to talk sometime, send a private message so we don’t gum up the thread. I’m happy to share what I can if it will help anyone else.

The Global Warmers are trying to do the impossible. Stop hurricanes like Irma. Good luck with that climate changing objective. Only one thing can stop Irma now.

I was just on I-95 north in the Jax area. Heavy traffic going only 45-60 MPH. Seems the big deluge of evacuees has started.

We prefer Samaritan’s Purse for humans. We’d like to find a way to help the animals but are leary of the mega organizations. They usually have too much overhead and administrators draw large salaries.

Samaritan’s Purse is where I donate. Not just Franklin Graham (a saint) but the people in the organization, no profiteers just people who want to help

My sister thought their business near Clearwater was zone B, but they were informed today that they needed to evacuate the building today. Their home is in St Pete around 30th. They are still watching everything. Trying to decide whether C’s should evacuate. I guess the bigshots will make that decision by the morning. At least they can come here if the airport remains open.

My guess is that authorities are seeing the wind field expand to hurricane strength across the width of FL and are taking no precautions. Add to the fact the ‘cane is coming from the south.

I think they are trying to truck in food, water, and gas, but that’s just me. It will change soon.

Worse case scenario is that staged helicopter depots will have to be setup to get supplies down to Miami.

Bastardi was just on Hannity and is sticking with his eastern track. He said if the storm comes up the center of the state it loses strength faster but if it goes up the east coast it will maintain its strength by the time it reaches the Carolinas. Seems every time we get an update it is worse than the prior one. I almost have to have a break from this. Maybe start sipping on some joy juice to calm my nerves. lol!

Ahh, I love it when I hear someone talk about science, math, variables, and limitations! You are someone who speaks my language!

I detest the global warming crowd. I detest the very idea of “scientific consensus.” These people make me want to puke, because they aren’t using their brains at all.

Computer models? All I can say is, garbage in = garbage out.
