Click here to take a look at Irma. (If you don't see the hurricane, be sure the 'Satellite' layer, and the 'active tropical track' and 'active model track' are selected from the "Layers" drop-down menu.)

I know there are at least a handful of IMLers (myself included) living in Florida. I trust that you folks, like me, are getting prepped, preparing to hunker down, and staying safe. We all know the drill.

Many of you know that Shannon also lives in Florida. If he lives where I think he does, there is potential for severe devastation. So Shannon, know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em. Keep you and yours safe above all else.

If Irma makes landfall as a Cat 5, it will probably weaken to a Cat 4, which is still plenty destructive. But this is not a weather report. If anyone who has any mojo with manifesting/visualizing/imagining/reality creation would care to join in, I'm having Irma make a hard right, into the middle of the Atlantic ocean, where her eye wall breaks down, and she dissipates harmlessly.

Thank you.

Mother nature can you chill for a little bit though.

I've personally been through a handful of hurricanes, none of them a category 5. Hurricane Charley was probably the worst. He was a Cat 4 when he made landfall, and was probably Cat 2 when he hit my house. It sounded like a freight train running through the neighborhood. My roof held, but the wind was blowing the rain sideways, as in parallel to the ground, and some water came down the chimney and into the house because of that.

Irma's track is still shifting, and they're projecting she'll be a 4 when she hits Florida. Once she arrives, your options are void, and you have to ride it out where you are. Just be careful, it's not worth losing your life over.

I've been through sooooooo many hurricanes. Andrew, KAtrina, Wilma, Matthew. The evacuation is as bad. Stop and go traffic all on the 95It takes 8 hours to make it out of FL from miami, Its taking 18 now. Flight prices have quadrupled (as did everything else), I'm riding this out.
