Parkland/Coral Springs area here - just lost power. Trees and bushes down or ripped out all over our yard. Was hoping we wouldn't lose power until after the Packers game but at least were safe.

Pressure has gone up slightly by a few points over the last several hours.So is it still depressurising?
Haven't heard from friends or family in Key West since 8:00 a.m. Cell towers might have gone down. Lower Keys around Cudjoe and Big Pine Keys got the worst of it with storm surge around 10 feet. Marathon was flooded but not quite as bad. No idea about Key West at this point. Last official stat I heard was 2-foot surge for them. I saw some structural damage in videos that were posted before communications went dark, most places seemed to be holding up.
Uhhhh...that's from last night.

That's kind of bad. Well it's all bad at this point. But it increases storm surge potential on the FL Gulf coast. And could cause slower weakening.

Woops my bad didn't see the stamp. Just saw it posted somewhere else just now.
Do they have a live stream going?

Loved the reporters reaction. Those people are idiots.

We definitely won't be shutting down. We were sent critical patients from other hospitals since they were evacuating. We are actually fully staffed for both day and night shift, and currently staying within the hospital until the storm passes.

Jeff's stream showing he's really starting to get knocked around, trees coming down around him as he drives. Driving through 110mph winds. Crazy.

RUN JEFF
I hope Jeff makes it out okay.
On top of the weather, video compression can't deal with things like rain, so the video quality's gone to shit.
No problem! Hope everyone's safe and sound.

This hurricane is quite the monster, isn't she?
Family and I are holding up okay in Broward and haven't lost power...yet.

How accurate are the forecasts for wind etc during an event like this?
Just been searching random locations but I'm guessing accuracy might be low until the storm actually arrives.

Why doesn't this site have fucking volume control?
Light rain there now. My parents are in the shelter on SR 52 at high school. I am down south near Little Road and Trinity blvd. Getting a heavy rain band right now. Moving through fast radar shows but its dropping some heavy stuff.

I've been using this http://wind.willyweather.com/fl/pinellas-county/st-petersburg.html
So far the reported gusts seem to be right and they adjust the predicted gusts as the forecast changes.
Picture from outside Marathon High School:
Jesus Christ, spent so many years there. Hope the people inside are safe.
Had my sister come to Tallahassee from Orlando.
I think maybe the reverse would have been better.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
I just saw people walking and running along the beach in Miami...LOL wtf
Miami looks seriously flooded right now, though - assuming this feed on Basik.co is accurate.

Woo boy! Lost power for 2 minutes and it came back. My PC's backup power supply is triggering every 5 minutes due to surges.

Yeah, we might be getting this direct here in Tally.
Neighbors have boarded up completely.

Man the rain may flood me out before Irma even gets to New Port Richey area which its supposed to go right over. Wetlands behind and to the side of my house are saturated already from multiple long days of heavy rain last week. Sucks looking out side window and seeing the water only 11 feet away.
Really? Latest forecast shifted east significantly and my impression was that we'll likely get cat 2 or 3 winds.
