Hurricane Irma

Hurricane #Irma now a category 5 and it's a beast. It's larger than the state of Ohio, if that helps put it in perspective.

180 mph sustained winds, 220 gusts.

A lady on the news, that looked a bit leathery and familiar with the glass pipe, says she is going to stay and ride it out. As I watched, I can't help but think that I am looking at a corpse

Anyone that's still out in the Keys doesn't deserve any expectation of rescue. That would put any and all responders at risk.

They have had plenty of warning to get out.

If I lived down there, I'd be heading for Nashville about now!

90% of Barbuda has been destroyed by #Irma. 185mph winds and 225mph gusts. My mind can fathom what that’s like. Category 5.

Unbelievable. #Irma has snapped all the cell towers on #Barbuda. That's reinforced steel - photo: ABS

We are safe. No power, no water, everything destroyed. Buildings gone. Please pray as this island is decimated.

I have a sister in Tampa, looks like they'll miss the brunt of it. Track of her looks right over the top of Barbuda (little N of St Johns).
