The latest news on Hurricane Irma is not good.
They've adjusted the route and think it's going to hit the Keys, Miami and then run like a buzzsaw right up the middle of the state.
Also the outlying waters are extremely warm so it's going to have a lot of energy and probably won't lose power as it approaches landfall.
On top of THAT, there was just a massive 8.0 earthquake in Mexico.
And Hurricane Jose is following close on Irma's path and will hit the Leeward Islands which were already wrecked. So those people are likely to drown if they don't get them out of there.
The Irma news is pretty worrisome. Laura, much safety~ma to you and your family, even the frustrating ones. Amyth, I'm sorry your nephew-in-law is being unreasonable, and I hope your niece comes through things unscathed.
I'm just so worried about my dad and cousin. I'm trying hard not to overthink but nightmares all night.
{{Pix}} Been thinking about you and Drew watching the pictures of devastation on the beautiful islands we visited last year. My heart aches for all those affected. My son Brendon is staying in Sunrise, not far from where your dad is. Bobby and Tate staying in Boynton Beach. At least DH is headed out this morning coming to stay with me. I'm basically terrified, but not anything I can do except watch and wait.
My SIL's nail salon is open for business today!!!! I didn't even comment on her post. Really, got to do your nails today?
Lot's of ~ma to everyone in Irma's path.
Seems like we have a couple storms of the century every year.
I'm terrified about Irma.
There was an earthquake last night, so I guess that wins the prize for next natural disaster.
I am so sorry for your loss, Matt.
DH still putting up shutters. Kids are helping him. He is dead tired, and I am so not thrilled about him driving 1600 miles that way! Hopefully he can stay somewhere in NC.
I have had a successful morning going over to sister's house to get her dog, then to nephew's house to let his dog out. They are at a funeral in PA today. Then I managed to figure out nephew's air compressor and fix my low tire. Woo!
Sorry about your loss, Matt.
Your DH is welcome in my guest room, Laura.
