Did it come up straight by the root? The ones I saw were like that. Just pulled right out of the ground. The root structure is taller than you when they are toppled over.

Some time back in the early 80's I watched a huge oak- a good 70-75 foot tall giant- fall in a strong wind. One of the most both awesome and sad sights I've ever seen.

I have relatives in southern Florida who my wife and the rest of my family out here in the west will be keeping close in our hearts these next few days.
And all us PJ fans here have some really wonderful fellow PJ friends in southern Florida as well, so lots of love and prayers and best wishes and good thoughts going out for them all.
Be safe, friends.

The barometric pressure is lower than Sandy and just above Katrina, lower is worse. This means that a wall of water or surge is going to flood anything at sea level or just above it.
If you have a house on stilts that is 10' high it isn't going to protect you.
Get the hell out of there.
Make a plan to find gas before you leave so you aren't stranded as this seems to be a huge problem.

You're right about this. I have a lot of friends in Miami that are very active in the PJ community. Very worried about them. Also, my company's main office is in Bonita Springs. We closed yesterday but most people headed north on Tues or Wed. People are very worried about this one, mostly because they just watched Harvey.

This is what I am most worried about. I only have one tree in my yard and it's so close to the road that if it falls it won't hit my house. But my neighbors on all sides have trees that if they fall, who knows which way they will go. And I know they don't prune or take care of the trees so that makes them even more vulnerable to wind.

Well I'm as ready as I'll ever be here in the Palm Beach. I even tuned my bicycle in case my cars are incapacitated and took a large amount of cash in case of prolonged power outage. My main worries though are the possible tornados after Irma has passed through.

Yeah, it's very worrisome have friends there. I heard from a former PJ forum member (he wasn't banned, just hasn't had time to stay active here-- a really great guy) and he said he and his family can't get out because all flights booked or cancelled, gas stations run out of gas, highways jammed. Hearing that was really jarring. It's heard to see friends in peril. All we can do is send love, put out good thoughts.

Are you riding it out?
Oh yes, told my co-workers my set up, a couple thought of coming here to stay with me as I backup I told them yes. It's just me so the more the merrier. I did tell them though if you come bring more Dos Equis. I don't drink much my first beer since my bday in March. Just chilling going through many genre of music, getting a few more gusts in full sunshine.

What's the elevation above sea level where you are at? You might want to rethink this.

Good luck to all in its path. Looking to be the worst to hit since Andrew in 92.
"The current track of Irma will bring the most severe impacts to the eastern side of the state, including Miami, West Palm Beach, Melbourne, Daytona Beach and Jacksonville. However, with the forecast track now taking Irma right up the Florida Peninsula, hurricane-force winds will reach western parts of the state as well, including Tampa, Fort Myers and Sarasota.
If the track shifts even a little bit to the west, the most severe impacts of the storm would impact western Florida and the lower Keys.
"Irma remains a very powerful and destructive hurricane," AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski said.
"Impacts within the projected path of Irma include life-threatening wind, storm surge and flooding rainfall hazards," Kottlowski added.
Conditions will deteriorate rapidly across South Florida and could turn life-threatening Saturday into Sunday. This is when rain and hurricane-force winds will intensify quickly.
Torrential rainfall, high winds and inundating seas will then increase from south to north across the Florida Peninsula on Sunday into Monday.
A large fetch onshore, or continually blowing winds from the ocean, will cause water to pile up along the Florida coast, Myers explained. With the full moon a few days ago, significant flooding is likely, especially during high tide.
"It's a monster hurricane out there -- it's bringing along with it something to be feared," Myers said, referring to the "extremely angry ocean" that Irma has been churning for so long.
Irma sustained 185-mph winds for 37 hours, the longest any cyclone in the world has maintained such intensity. Super Typhoon Haiyan previously set the record in 2013 when it maintained winds at that level for 24 hours."
