Power going out even in Seminole County now. It’s really pouring out there.

 

[twinturbo2]

I'm really glad that the east coast was spared. All my family is down near Miami/Fort Lauderdale and I was really worried.

The power is out where I am- cellphone service is still fine, obvs- and I notice one of the little gazebos collapsed in the backyard, but I'm fine otherwise.

The west coast, though... I don't want to see the inevitable images of it looking like a wasteland.

chicken strip sub from publix=GOAT haven't had one in forever though

I prefer the Italian subs. With Boars Head meat, the store brand stuff is meh.

Key Largo looks like a warzone.

I got a couple of flickers so far. Come on... hold out please.

 

[Gamerman1]

It's starting to really go at it here in Tampa, and we're prob only half way to full intensity. Stay safe Tampa GAF.

Gusts have picked up here in East Lake road area of New Port Richey. Rain inst heavy just light but it hasn't stopped in a couple hours. Watching the wetlands water near house like a hawk every hour.

 

[witness]

More power flashes in Orlando. Apparently the neighborhood behind us lost power now.

 

[Abstrusity]

One flicker so far in Lake up here, but we're just starting to get the horizontal rain.

 

[sinkfla87]

This flooding in Miami looks terrible.

This thread should be renamed: "Downplaying disasters, Tropical Storm Brian's Love Connection, and Publix Subs appreciation thread."

So we're in a shelter and they gave us rice and beans to eat

All of CNN's reporters look incredibly uncomfortable...

A little bit of light flickering here in Brooksville but the wind gusts aren't too bad yet and the rain hasn't gotten that heavy.

 

[Berordn]

We got it in Lake Mary now too, started unplugging everything.

 

[Rixxan]

Anyone know if schools are closed tomorrow in miami dade / broward?

 

[MontlyCure]

One flicker so far in Clermont.

Dude what the fuck, are you posting people's real life pics for real without permission? That's pretty shitty if so.

EDIT: Please note I have avatars off so I dunno if this is someone's avatar >.>

Don't worry. It's his twitter profile picture that's been linked to multiple times already in relation to the storm.

What? No lol. It's a media casters public Twitter picture.

Goddamn, that's such a good Photoshop that the GAF browser window must look real lol.

Hopefully if it's a Cat 2 now it'll drop down to 1 by the time it hits Tallahassee... :/ My dad decided to stay home and I'm anxious about him and the house.

Carry on everyone, I'll just delete that

Yeah they will be closed. The Governor announced all schools would be closed Monday when he made his initial announcement on Thursday.

I guess he expected Publix subs.

My neighbor texted me to let me know the power went out at my place around 2pm. Looks like it's still out according to FPL. I'll be at the hospital until at least tomorrow evening, so hopefully, it can get sorted out by then. Probably not, but I can dream.

Man, even the one time I was put into a county jail for a day they gave me a halfway decent sandwich.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Did the reporters make it to Key West yet?
They said they were on the way from Key Largo like over 2 hours ago and MSNBC I don't think has mentioned them again.

 

[GodofWine]

I have stop watching coverage, my tv is getting some longer than usual burn in from twc and cnns graphics. Wish they would move then from left to right or change them around some ways now and then

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Is that wrong?

Beans tho

 

[Poltergust]

Still with power in Orlando. If it can just last the next six or so hours that should mean I'll be able to keep it...

I saw that live. Didn't think it was a tornado, just a wind gust/squall.

cheap protein, but it's probably gonna sound like a butt orchestra once everyone goes to sleep

I was watching him earlier and it looked like the camera man was filming from in his car while that poor bastard was reporting from outside lol.

LOL. Blow Irma the fuck back out to sea.

We can only hope.

Wind is picking up here in East Pasco. Power has been flickering causing cable to reset few times. This maybe last post using my PC in awhile as I feel power is about to go with in the hour.

 

[skullmuffins]

I don't think so... they were having to cut and move a lot of trees that had fallen across the road so it was real slow going.

 

[sflufan]

Highest wind gusts reported in Naples was 142mph.

 

[Briarios]

Oh crap, I just stress ate my whole candy supply! Ok, I only remember to but one thing of candy, but still -- I'm out until things open on Tuesday.

On a more serious side, trees are going nuts. I'm surprised I still have power.

 

[Ponn]

Haven't heard from my sis in like 5 hours. In Jax here it's been raining all day with some strong gusts. Some places in OP losing power and looks like Black Creek is already flooding. We already have some standing water that's creeping to the porch making me nervous. We still hours of this till at least tomorrow morning. Anyone have advice on emergency plugging door gaps if water rises too high? I have a sliding glass door and one front door. Towels wouldn't work I don't think, I have duck tape?

Thankfully power stayed on so I could make sloppy joes.

 

[brerwolfe]

One flicker so far in Clermont.

We live just south of Minnehaha and had power drop out for about 15 minutes. Lost a couple young neighborhood trees, nothing huge.

Super windy and now we have tornado warnings. I don't feel unsafe though. Our house is basically a fortress.

 

[Zombegoast]

Is universal seriously going to be open on Tuesday? It's going to be another slow day.

If that was a tornado, those trees wouldn't still be standing.

Power is now out here in Zephyrhills
