That's fucking terrifying. From the UK so we just don't see these sorts of storms. I have no idea how I'd be feeling seeing that! Christ!
Edit: looks like it's a fake. Whyyy do people pull this shit.
I hate to be that guy but that looks strange. Is the video looping back and forth? Something is off.
Yeah, just realized it might be fake. Fuckin' internet.

Pressure is at 928mb and dropping according to the recent NHC update.
Irma is intensifying fast.
Edit:

Do we know where this is at?
NHC in the 2am update mentioned a possible eye reformation happening in 6-12 hours which would cause the storm to restrengthen as it's in the warm straits. So if the eye is reforming right now, that's really bad news for the west coast of Florida as it will get stronger over the day. Hopefully that wind shear weakens it a bit Sunday night/Monday morning

Looking at his earlier archived livestream, it says Islamorada.

Isn't that like two hours away?
What a goddamn idiot. Boasting about his view numbers before he's gonna die.
Oh wow, straight from one of the keys.
Edit: And he just confirmed Islamorada in the stream.
Yup somewhere around that time

Even if she ends up as a cat 5 again she's not going to make landfall as one outside of the florida keys. Shear's going to pick up soon even though it won't weaken Irma much before it makes landfall.
Jesus, chill out. They showed where they are, it's in some big industrial looking building that likely is really sturdy.

the only people that dipped outta the state were the ones with somewhere to go.
i don't think alot of people from LA migrated to FL honestly

If you have friends or relatives in the "safer" parts of Florida or in somewhere along the path of Irma staying with them is cheaper/easier then fighting for a hotel with any number of evacuees .

worrying about traffic and "can i get gas before i'm stranded" is just as stressful as going anywhere
but seriously, no one went to LA. they all went upstate or to GA or the Caronlias
yeah you'll prob be without power for a couple of days. stay safe dude

aside from the wind the main problem for Key West will be the ocean storm surge.
A 3m storm surge would flood most of it

Days? Hell, in Parkland we were without power for 3 or 4 weeks. We still have power right now, but my guess is that'll change soon. It's getting really bad outside.

MYTH
A common tornado myth is that opening the windows will equalize the pressure in your house, which is thought to protect your home from damage. This is totally unnecessary and wastes valuable time in getting to your storm shelter location. If a tornado is going to pass close enough to do damage to your house, there's nothing you can do to minimize it, and making the effort is only risking your life."
https://www.wunderground.com/resources/severe/tornado_myths.asp
"No! All of the doors and windows should be closed (and shuttered) throughout the duration of the hurricane. The pressure differences between inside your house and outside in the storm do not build up enough to cause any damaging explosions. (No house is built airtight.)
The winds in a hurricane are highly turbulent and an open window or door - even if in the lee side of the house - can be an open target to flying debris. All exterior windows should be boarded up with either wooden or metal shutters."

I did that. Not sure if it will work but I had no wood or plywood.
