Still dealing with the floods in Texas, now Irma (class 5) hurricane is suppose to hit Florida by this weekend.
-
Catagory 5 ive heard people are getting ready.Emptying store shelves hope its not to bad countrys been hit with Harvey already.
-
I am praying that we will be spared and that God will just have this hurricane dissipate and that is pretty much all I know to do is pray. Went to store here in central florida and they were already wiped out of a lot of stuff and definitely wasn't one bottle of water in the whole place.
-
Praying it turns, but if does not, I hope every one is prepared. I often wonder why people wait until the last minute tod o anything and then wonder why they are caught in it. too me it makes more sense to get the heck out of there with every thing you don't want to lose and wait and see if it should hit. Better to be prepared and out of harms way then not.
-
Yes! this is massive especially given part of the country just went through Harvey. I am praying for all of my friends in Florida and know they are prepared as prepared can be; I spent my whole professional working career in South Florida and went through many Hurricances including Andrew, while I miss the weather I do not miss the hurricane season. I always tried to keep my house well stocked during hurricane season, so as not to have to get out in all the madness looking for stuff; my prayers remain with them and as well as those who went through Harvey.

Sadly, the anticipation of Irma may be almost worse than a hit. Now that everyone has seen the disastrous Harvey footage panic has ensued. Irma also proves the statistics that point to around Sept. 12 as the height of the hurricane season. I know Texas, even though I'm more familiar with disasters by being in tornado alley, and many of those homeowners who didn't leave could never have imagined their homes submerged in a matter of just days (whether it be from unheard amounts of rainfall or the runoff from watersheds spilling uncontrollably, followed by controlled spilling).
While those afflicted by Harvey will be hurting for a long, long time, Irma's path is ominous to say the least. There are so many hurricane models being created in front of the confirmed news that Irma is a Cat 5 (180+ mph winds) with a defined eye that the reaction can't be helped. I am most fearful for this situation now.

I am praying that it does turn and miss Florida and the Carribbean (?) islands, Puerto Rico. I hope they are all as prepared as can be or get out of town.
-
I live in Florida and am not really sure if I should evacuate or not. My dog refuses to get into a car and I'm 9 months pregnant. This is a lot of uneeded stress :(
-
Irma is looking bad
-
All these tropical storms are scary. I know Jose is coming up right after that. I just pray that everyone is safe and takes the necessary precautions to avoid additional damage.
-
I have a theory that all this natural disasters is a result from the Solar Eclipse we just had recently. I'm not sure but the entire western States are dealing with wild fires and unhealthy smokes while some part of the country are dealing with hurricanes. Who knows what will be next? Tsunami, tornadoes, and earth quakes??
-
I live in Florida and they just canceled school for Friday and Monday morning. I hope this storm does not impact us or downgrades at least. It is too soon after Harvey and very stressful.
-
I have family leaving Palm Coast and Jacksonville in the morning, and coming back to Wisconsin.
Weather too much stress down there.
:rose:
-
People are getting ready for another hurricane is coming in again.
-
Yep it's a bad one.
-
I am hoping and praying for the best but it doesn't look good right now. I have family in florida that packing to leave. hope everyone will stay safe. :rainbow: :rose: :peace: :wave:
-
Stay safe, my friends in FL!!
-
will pray for people in line of hurricane
-
I saw a video yesterday from NOAA.
That is the official weather website.
The video showed 5 people on the airplane including the pilot.
They were flying through the eye of the hurricane.
It was amazing to watch.
I thought "if only they could tame the hurricane. if they were brave enough to drive a plane through couldn't they do anything?"
anyway, it was amazing.
-
All water are gone here in the store in NC.
-
Scary. Sending prayers to all
-
im hoping it misses south carolina but doesnt like
-
Irma is looking bad
You need to go somewhere safe, near a hospital
-
Praying for all to be safe and just prepare.
-
I am keeping all those in Harvey and Irma's path in my prayers.
-
It seems as though Florida is getting back to back hurricanes also some other states. The changes are out there if only people will pay attention.
-
Do you wonder who name these hurricanes? I do pray that the ones that are coming thru will be mild and not total catastrophic.
-
Keeping Texas, Florida and any other states residents in my prayers that this hurricane hits. I think we have had enough devastation for one hurricane season. It's time to stop now Mother Nature!!
-
People are going crazy where I live. Just about every gas station is out of gas and water is sold out most places too. It's still too early to tell exactly what will happen.
-
They just announced that all public schools and universities will be closed Friday and Monday so they're certainly bracing for the worst. I live in the western most city in Florida so I doubt we'll get much bad weather here but many people will evacuate here
-
Irma needs to take a fast turn to the right and head back out to sea !!!!! To many people are now homeless from Harvey and Irma is doing the same thing. So sad. Plus I have family and friends in Florida.
-
Looks and sounds horrible! I hope everyone can find a way to stay safe!
-
Harvey was a mess, and I just saw the devastation that Irma is causing - just HORRIBLE! And I think there are a couple more on Irma's heels. Scary and sad. Stay safe!!!! PLEASE!!!
-
Plus a hurricane jose on the way too!
-
I never hated my job but I did hate to have to get up and go to work every day. I retired over 3 months ago and have enjoyed being at home. Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

Hope our neighbors in Florida stay safe! We need to do something about the climate!
