Hurricane Irma
- Thread starter _Snake_
- Start date
This thing has legs.
Irma is going to be a real kick in the nuts.
FL is good at getting ahead of the game, hopefully don't actually need it but we're preparing like we will. Grocery stores already being picked clean of water and such.
I know, not a fan of these spaghetti plots right now.
Oh great. Last thing this country needs is another shit show of a hurricane.
Ya multiple wont be fun, especially when thinking about getting the power back on since crews will be split up. I'm thankful they just did upgrades to all our underground power in my little area
How many people get paid to draw a different line on the map? Money says that map is garbage in 12 hours
Yeah it seems unreal to have another monster headed towards our shores so soon.
or is this just fantasy
I keep the generators ready. I'll probably just top off the freezer with meat, fill the various fuel tanks (including propane), and buy some bottled water. Other than those consumables we stay pretty well prepped year round.
time for some Bush Beans haha
Their Texas chilli mix makes a solid starter base.
....and somehow Trump will be blamed as the cause...
Let's not bring up trump. This is a thread about hurricane Irma.
Blah, zero ****s given here. I work in a resort. I was off today, but tomorrow I'll sign up for the "ride out crew" meaning they put me up, and I'm on the clock until I leave, so sleeping too. Last hurricane, I think I made like $1,500 in 2 days via double time, plus tips, and free food too.
not looking good. Each update still has it going though Florida.
It's already at 939mB and 150mph winds. And now it'll be hitting warmer waters.
If it doesn't weaken I'll be heading out on Saturday. Maybe to Dallas again(family).
Sucks, know a couple families in Tampa that are projected to give birth next weekend. And my wife will be 8 months next weekend.
South Florida will be getting rain all this week too, so the ground will be saturated this weekend.
Weather Channel reported last night there could be isolated areas o up to 24" of rain, with a good size cone showing 12" of rain
Invest 94, Jose, also is something to watch too.
Could be a major, and it's behind Irma
