Re: Irma
If this is real, it wins for best picture of this whole mess.
Supposedly this is on I-75.

Re: Irma
Related, but not exactly news.
Girl I coached in volleyball is a freshman at Florida State. Her mom just told us that they canceled classes next week, so Emily came home last night. I think they (FSU) believed the campus was safe, but would lose power and it would be out for several days, possibly. Given that existence, Emily brought a friend (whose parents live near the Keys) home with her.
Jefferson County schools here in Birmingham have canceled classes tomorrow and Tuesday. I am awaiting Shelby County's response (where we live/son goes to school).

Re: Irma
Sounding like KW is as fine as one could expect. Some reports from the Hemmingway house staff saying no surge there, typical trees down and such. That's a high point, so if there was water there it's bad, but if Whitehead and Olivia are OK that means this was more of the "typical" bad storm for them.
But not much out of the other lower keys yet.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: Irma
Guy at La Concha saying caroline and that area is flooded, but as I said above that's not unusual in about any big storm. Sounds like about like a normal tropical storm impact.
Re The shark pic, there are also a number of tweeted and re-tweeted "key west" and "south florida" videos that are "live" that aren't live and aren't even of Florida. Anything for clicks I guess.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: Irma
One last post on the KW subject.
Miami Herald reporter just submitted that KW is bruised but OK and the locals say they're ready for a drink.
Now you know why I like it there. It will be a race between electricity and getting the bars open as to what takes priority. Not that they ever stopped drinking, but they'll want to get the bars open b/c it's a very social activity.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: Irma
Much more worried about the rest of the lower keys and the middle keys. I'm betting they're OK, just beaten up. I think the media is playing this up a lot more than the actual impact. It was bad, but not 'wiped off the face of the earth' bad or anything.
They're esp. playing up that mortuary teams are going in as part of the recovery. I am betting that is standard procedure, they'll take in all that stuff. At least I sure hope so.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

.... and in the " you can't make this stuff up" category. When asked about how high the wind gust are getting, a female reporter standing rain soaked in the middle of a street said " it's really strong, it literally just blew my hat off"
I swear....

Re: Irma
Well since you were on the golf team, as long as you vouch for the rest of Birmingham I guess Atlanta may let you in the club.
As for the bread and water thing, what exactly do folks think is going to happen there?People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Didn't you get that notice that you shouldn't throw hurricane parties and get drunk?
But feel free to send out invites and I'll stand up to the man with you. That does look good. I had some leftover Wendy's chili.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: Irma
That is great news Doc. I truly hope that any damage you incurred was minimal. How would you describe flooding in your area, that is if any has occurred.
