Finally got a hotel in Hardeeville, SC. It's grey and all, with light rains. But according to projections, it shouldn't reach here.

[Javaman]

Weather channel live feed has a guy constantly filming in Naples, right in the middle of the eyewall. He's going to ride it out till the eye.

What an idiot.

Horror alert:

My sister lives in Gainesville. All the rain has now made her house a nest for snakes seeking shelter under it.

So be cautious, a lot of things besides rain and wind maybe he coming towards you.

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.

ok, but is what's shown in this video, https://twitter.com/RyanAFournier/status/906948284215939072, not normally streets that are flooded? Looks too narrow to be the canal and has the overhead lights you see on a road.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Since it weakened I decided to stay. I dont know how the roof would handle a cat 4 or close to it, but this house is solid thats for sure. Cant even tell there is high winds outside at all.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Lol.

 

[AlphaDump]

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

Really good to know, thank you.

I would recommend everyone let their water run a bit before using it once it all blows over.

I choose you, Irma-chu!

 

[Thatonemoor]

In Georgia and it's kinda scary outside. All the stores are closing and all the gas stations are empty.

Weather Channel showing a man trying not to die outside in a hurricane. Slightly irresponsible.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Seriously cnn, get cuomo out of there.

It really is a matter of time before a reporter dies doing this.

Curious if they get paid extra/hazard pay for doing stuff like this.

Weather Channel showing a man trying not to die outside in a hurricane. Slightly irresponsible.

I kinda feel like this guy is in heaven right now. Just the chance to stand out in the open through an eyewall and into the eye with craploads of people watching. I'm a bit surprised none of the trees in the background have snapped in two, or that he hasn't been taken out by a branch (though I think the car is partially shielding him).

 

[DrM]

I wonder how many of these 'front line' reporters will end on sick leave. Just imagine if this was really a Cat 4 or even 5.

Too bad she has no house in Miami.

Mike, man.
Please go home

Dude just said "Oh crap" and then the stream cut out.........

Power and utilities still stable here at Charlotte.
Last rain bands passing through before eye wall arrives or gets close.

That is a flooded road, yes.

I know.. here's hoping he's okay.

It happens all the time. I don't understand why they can't report inside the vehicle.

We are not even under tropical storm wind conditions yet, so there aren't any high winds outside.

I went away for a second and I can't see him anymore. Was he swept away by the storm?

 

[Steejee]

Guess there's a reason no one attempted to report from the Keys.

Massive airborne relief mission en route to Keys to help with ‘humanitarian crisis’

He is hiding behind the car, because things are flying around

[KenzinFive]

Reporter on Telemundo is nearly waist-deep, walking through the storm surge in downtown Miami with the winds blowing full force. His cameraman was there with him until they got the camera to the top of the stairs.

And they've got another reporter in Florida City who slipped and fell due to the winds (no flooding though). He may have been exaggerating his fall though, since the winds didn't seem that strong.

Marlins Ballpark roof is having issues.

 

[Syder]

Too bad she has no house in Miami.

...What's the angle here?






Is she trying to get out in front of the 'global warming making this worse' stuff?

or is she just spouting the opposite of the truth as per usual?

Look at again at the Google Maps street view and the height of the water on a calm day. It's not going to take much to push that water up and over and into the streets. You're looking at this as if it's a 20 foot deep raging river, but water can look like that in 1-2 feet of water. Look at the bases of the tree, the water is not super high. Also considering the location of these streets it's very plausible they're designed to funnel water which can attribute to that river look.
