Prediction models expect it to hang around in the Atlantic for the next week though.

It's flattened Richard Branson's private island.
a fellow worker mentioned this.
He has or had a fabulous wine celler there I heard? He may still be there
I worked in Miami Beach during Hurricane Andrew in 92, and decided to stay in the shop where I worked as the storm hit to avoid looting the next day. It was probably one of the scariest things I've ever been through. Seeing massive objects turn into projectiles that crashed into cars, glass shop windows, watching traffic lights get blown off their wires like they were twigs, watching the skies turn a surreal purple color the morning after, getting stuck on South Beach for a few ays because the causeways were all swamped etc. If Irma is even more powerful then I truly fear for the people in Dade, Broward, the Keys etc.
I have relatives down there. They have shutters n all, i dont know what that means or how that will protect them.
There are probably going to be problems with a massive storm surge and flooding.
Harvey, Irma, who's starting the thread for Jose?
Have to wait until we see where it goes.
Hopefully back to the Atlantic

Feck, one of the storm chasers I saw on CNN was rightly worried about this. He said the water was way too warm and could easily mean that Irma could regain strength and speed before making landfall. I really feel for anyone who didn't/couldn't get out of the evacuation zone. This has the potential to make Harvey look just like a wet weekend.
Barely been two weeks since I moved to Tampa and now this 
Where are you tracking it? I know parts of NC are in the path but I don't know the exact time/expected damage.
I have urgent work next week, and even worse some of it depends on others turning up as well.
Going to be desperately hard for a little island to recover from something like this. Thankfully most folk seem to be safe, but many places on the British Virgin Islands are simply wiped out:
Have you left Tampa?Barely been two weeks since I moved to Tampa and now this
Still here. Was planning on going to the northern part of the city to stay at somebody's house but with the latest update, I'm thinking of taking a flight to Atlanta tomorrow. I have a friend who lives there. Flight's expensive but there's no way I can make it there by car.
Good luck. Be safe. I was in Florida for a 2 I think and it was amazing to see the power of it. 3 or 4 wouldn't be. 5 feck that.
@SaintTresano I'm banking on it being safe. The animals are starting be a little weird.
I have just uploaded these images: http://www.directupload.net/file/d/4840/5ls4rs3m_jpg.htm

You need to start focusing and don't feck around. Things change quickly and you have no time to adjust.Thanks man. I'm completely blank at the moment. Don't know what the hell I'm doing
Welcome to Florida, eh?Barely been two weeks since I moved to Tampa and now this
At least they are not hypocrites
Florida: America's Australia. Now with giant Burmese Pythons released into the wild and growing out of control!
The authorities are prepared. Listening to a few of them. They really are focused.
It wont be easy but I'm sure they will handle this and help people the best they can.
Stay strong people.

Thats a real pain in the arse. Airlines are cnuts.
Guy on CNN saying people in Miami have 2 hours before evac stops. After that hunker down.
feck me dude.
Looks like the keys are going to take a direct hit. From what I remember they are just a few feet above sea level.
What?
Florida only has so many North/South highways. So many people will have terrible dilemmas to contemplate.
Yeah, some biguns done there now.
Who the feck released them?
They have giant snakes to consider due to them being an invasive species that were originally introduced as pets but now are growing out of control in a favorable habitat.
Somewhat similar to the Asian Carp in the Mississippi River that they're trying to keep from the Great Lakes at gigantic cost.
Ah right, is that the area that had the problem with snakeheads too?
