Hurricane Irma

Having seen the devastation this powerful hurricane has caused so far, I hope all those that will be affected in Florida have moved to safety. There are a number of WD users in the state. Good luck to you and your families and everyone in FL.

http://www.bradentonwx.com/ is a WD station that is currently projected to have the eye of Irma pass extremely close.

Already seeing the winds picking up in Miami.

My station in North Fort Myers, may be ground zero if current tracks hold. Not sure how long it will be online, until power goes out or the house blows away. Currently I’m in Pensacola.

stay safe everyone

I see a video of the water has been sucked off the coral reefs at the Bhamas!

Hard to believe…

Key West radar will be good for some hours at least.

looks like its starting to turn more NW direction now

Just be very careful, if the wind, flying debris, then the storm surge will get you. Take no chances.
