Hurricane Irma

[elit]

It was downgraded to a cat 4. If it stayed what it was 2 days ago it would have been, also it keeps shifting west now. May go to the gulf and no even make total landfall in FL.

where are you seeing that?

[ckmk47]

Made it to MEM 23 hours.

Glad you made it.  Any gas issues?

Nope. A couple long waits and lots of traffic. Took 23 hours.

Say hi to Elvis for me and glad you are safe.

Interesting number - out of 12,000 parking spots at the airport lots, only 150 were available as of Thursday morning.

Does the parking lot insurance cover damages to the cars parked there?

Cause fire is coming with the storm?

Eta. So without the first א it becomes רמא. Cleary its because we dont learn enough הלכה

The storm is still a 155mph storm which is basically a Cat 5. It will make landfall on the west coast of Florida (after the keys) but the whole state will feel it's effects as Irma is wider than Florida. All the eastern Florida cities lay directly in the strongest part of the hurricane, which is the eastern side of the eye.

Here we're experiencing light to moderate winds so far, but no rain as yet.

What is the expected storm surge? That can devastate everything.

For Florida:
Miami/Fort Lauderdale/West Palm-- 5-10ft
Bonita Beach/Naples-- 8-12ft
Fort Myers/Tampa-- 5-8ft
Daytona/Jacksonville-- 3-6ft

Not good.

Yes but there are very strong conspiracies about the fdny (or maybe it was the association) standing down to collect on insurance. I don't remember all of the details but....

I'm sticking around Boca for the storm. Even though I live here, it may warrant a trip report

I hope you stay safe..

Wow..
 Don't know why someone would bash the different interpretations to a storm, in the end of the day, God has many different ways to talk to man, and this is one of them...

This is the only way to stop people from their day to day lives and move them out of their homes which they live their dayto day live and give them a bit of a wake up call.

The fact that they're spewing rulings in R' Chaim's name, when the video their basing this off clearly never said anything like what they're claiming he said? Quite sad.

Is Southeast Florida now out of danger?
