"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So looking at all the Irma footage...

Havana got badly flooded. Waist high in the streets. Their power grid took major damage and won't be back up any time soon.

Haiti - while it avoided the worst of the storm - has a very fragile power grid, so even a light swipe is likely to make things very bad.

In the Keys, it looked like Marathon was mostly underwater. I know that the roof came off the operations center for emergency responders in Key Largo.

Huge storm surge in Miami. Brickell Avenue was waist deep in water.

Just hit Marco Island on the gulf coast, and it's going into Naples now. I'm afraid there's going to be a massive (10 to 15 foot) storm surge in the St. Pete/Tampa area. That's going to cause heavy flooding similar to Harvey.

They're getting gusts from 130 to 142 as it goes into Naples. That's really bad.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Any news on Sarasota?

The eye is still south of Sarasota near Naples. But Sarasota is directly in the path.

Because books.

Naples and Sarasota are both such lovely places.

I hope Jose makes a turn. Or dwindles in power.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Hurricane Jose is going to spend the next few days tracing a curlicue in the Sargasso Sea. Where it goes after Thursday is anyone's guess at this point.

Random, but I can never see the Sargasso Sea mentioned without thinking, It's Wide Sargasso Sea.

Yeah, Jose is riding the Mad Tea Cups.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Naples got slammed hard. Street underwater. Lots of structural damage.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Winds are much lower hitting St. Pete. Down to 60mph. That will mitigate a lot of the damage but still worried about the big surge.
