    Wow, it's looking like Irma is going pass right over us here in the Palm Beaches.

    I was a child when Hugo came and we stayed.  I won't be staying for this one.  Off to Asheville Saturday.  

    This is not a flood event like so many are saying.  This is a serious wind event.

    Took 10 minutes topped off my tank and drove over the Florida Turnpike and it's jammed pack heading north. That jusst looks like a nightmare.

    I can't imagine being on 95 or 75 in florida. Will they eventually open up the south bound traffic to go north? They will do that in SC on I26.

    One thing that people don't think about is the damage that's caused in non-coastal areas.  Palm trees are made for this weather and do well.  Homes in FL are mostly concrete block, since Andrew.  When these storms move inland and north, they take down oaks, maples and other trees that haven't adapted to these conditions.  I was in 3 direct hurricanes when I lived in FL and the worst damage I saw was when Isabel hit Virginia.  It destroyed major parts of Richmond by bringing down 200 year old trees.  If this storm moves up the east coast, that can happen again.

    This also reminds me of Lolla 92.. first time seeing PJ.  It was in Orlando right before Andrew hit.  You could feel it brewing and we were feeling the gusts all day.

    Hopefully this will move out to sea but i feel like I'm going to have an aneurism. Then there's another one right behind this one.
