Thank you!
Still think it's just a fizzle?
Will this drain out decently enough? They've gotta know this can happen....

People always do this.
I guess they need to see neighborhoods flooded and people losing their homes to take these things seriously.
Mewtwo is out there causing the hurricane. Gather your courage and go out and teach him friendship or something.

Is there a link to current path of the storm?

Update: In the eye now. Crazy winds and downed trees, but very little structural damage so far. We've been exceedingly lucky so far. We won't know the extent of the damage until tomorrow when we get out on the roads. Now we wait for the surge after this calm.
I'm in East Orlando. Got some light flooding already after a very brief period of hard rain...
Don't mind the weeds... Uh, Irma did it
Edit: it has since receded
A hurricane brought weeds to your house Harvest Moon style?
Is there an easy way to translate it?

Wind picking up in Tampa and power still on, hoping for the best.

It looks like a river because it's a river.

So now it's turned slightly right and will be going through land more? Which means itll be weaker once it goes through st pete and tampa hopefully.
Little bit more SW than you in the Country Walk area, the wind is blowing super hard over here and no power since 6 am.

Hollywood Fla is under a water boil order. Tap water needs to be boiled before use.

It is landing just now.
based on the replies, Miami is indeed flooding and Buzzfeed is being disingenuous
edit: also there are streetlights in that RyanFourier tweet so I highly doubt that's Miami river
My door is 20 feet away and my porch provides a 1ft tall barrier. It's early still in east Orlando, supposed to get really bad here tonight. Fortunately we have a bit of a break right now
That how the wetlands is next my house but I am 13 feet away with much more of a slope down. Neighbors said it has never come up to house since it was built in 93. Doesn't mean it wont lol. Good luck.

It's only just now landing in West Florida so you'll have to wait and hear what happens there. Those of us in Miami/Broward got very, very lucky though. At one point it was predicted to be a cat 5 and tear right though us.
I lost power at 9 this morning and my parking lot is starting to flood right now fwiw

Near Marlins Ballpark here and things have died way down as well. Gust every now and then but seems like the worst has passed and we made it through with power and internet in tact. Lucked out big time. Might only need to replace a couple of shingles and repair part of a wood fence if that.

Glad to hear that, stay safe!
I was watching that Jacksonville Beach Pier stream and there were two people stood IN the fucking sea...
I just can't...
I just can't...
Yep lol. My landlord spends next to no money on the yard and idgaf because the rent is cheap.
Hope the rest of you guys make it out of this well, I expect to lose power in the next few hours. Hoping the cell phone tower stays up though

This is the area the responses talk about: https://www.google.com/maps/@25.770...4!1s72Hz7NhtgYh-kvn-a6kh-w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
It's very much a canal / river with a walking path next to it. Just because something is a river doesn't mean it's a river in a forest or plain.

Made landfall as a Cat 3. Winds are weakening but storm surge is no less a threat for SW Florida and Tampa Bay.

I just noticed that Reed Timmer (storm chaser dude) last tweeted 8 hours ago. Hopefully they just lost power and cell coverage.

Store owners in #Miami watch as their store is surrounded by a wall of water. What a terrible and uneasy feeling. #HurricaneIrma #Irma @WFLA
