Hurricane Irma

Was playing Overwatch earlier. Had two guys in Florida on my team - both were like "yeah if you see us go offline, it's cause the power went out". I was like "dafuq? Your state is about to be blown away and you're online?!"

Priorities...
 
was in contact with family, they dodged a bullet, apart from fruit trees that were uprooted and some cosmetic damage, all good their side. Curfew till 10am, damage assessment will take time. FPL - Florida Power and Light have got a mammoth task on their hands, not just repairing, but in some cases rebuilding, this takes time.

As with Harvey, the winds at landfall are only the first stage. Florida is low-lying, so that flooding is a bigger danger. The rains from Irma will be less than Harvey, but storm surge along the coast will do most of the damage.

P.S. Jose is heading harmless north in the Atlantic, no threat to land...

Mods: Thanks for cleanup!
 
Ha ha ha jou ma se...... Yeah we survived and just got home. The destruction between where we stayed and were we are now is huge but mainly massive trees uprooted and broken branches. Car dealership lights have fallen on the cars and roof. Traffic lights are blown off and or broken. Shop signs are missing. Our apartment has lost its signs. Most of it is wind and it was powerful.
 
My post got deleted. Is there a mod clean up in progress? If yes, thank you.
