Hurricane Irma Is Heading Our Way!

I am so glad to see this. Of course I am worried about the people but I too have been thinking about those kitties. I have been looking on the internet but I haven't seen anything recent about Key West.
abc on tv is doing live coverage, you don't need cable or dish. Their web site is probably covering it too.
7:03pm CT. abc stopped coverage on Irma for their regular programming.

I hope everyone will be alright. I was worried sick about the Hemingway cats. It is such a relief that they are OK.

Checking in from Daytona Beach. It's still really windy but it appears as though the rain has stopped. We did get a lot of it though. Power is out in HALF of the room we are in.... Yes. Really. The front half of the room has power. The back half does not. I'm not complaining. Better to have some than none. It just seems odd though. Stay safe everyone!
It might be that one phase has died off, electric company needs to be notified to fix that.
Margo and her family are fine. Rick's cousin is fine.
I'm so happy about those Hemingway kitties! That made my day! Rick says we need to go down and see them.
Still nothing from Lana and Paul. I understand about cell towers and such...it's difficult.
Thank you, guys. And everybody stay as safe as you can!

I am glad the Hemmingway kitties are ok..was talking to Jon last night and told him about this place-he said he wants to check it out..so maybe we will go to Key West in the future-because well we LOVE cats! And I love water and he loves beaches. His Brother lives in West Palm Beach. he hunkered down and didn't seem too worried. He said that he's been through the other hurricanes and he wasn't worried. He's about 5 blocks from the beach. I didn't hear from him last night but Jon said he texted him yesterday morning and he's ok.
I got another good friend in Ocala and he's ok. My best friend lives in Orlando and she's ok. So far sounds like we missed the destruction that it could have been. I fell asleep early last night so I haven't been on facebook to see how they are doing since yesterday when they checked in. I'm going to check on them now. Last I heard theres many people without power.
Eversource sent down some men for working on the electric grid down there-I imagine many groups have sent down people to help restore power. Hopefully it's not too hard to fix and I hope theres not too much destruction. Glad to hear everyone is OK.

Glad to hear everyone is OK so far. It's going to take a while for everything to get back to normal, but those of you who have power are very lucky.
Just hoping the next hurricane blows itself out before it reaches you.

Key West is a beautiful place to visit and explore after hurricane season! 
I have heard from most everyone I know in Florida except a few near Miami and Tampa. It will take time.
I hope Jose continues to weaken and stays out to sea.

Glad to hear none of our members have been in serious trouble.
Hoping to hear soon from family members evacuated from Miami and a dear friend living in Hollywood on the Eastern Coast (she didn't want to leave home).
Haven't yet heard from a nephew in the Dominican Republic who had found shelter in Santo Domingo.

We haven't heard yet from @lavishsqualor . Irma hit Orlando harder than expected. I hope they and their kitties are doing okay.
Yes, I am! We had a rough night with sustained winds at 80mph. I have no power, and trees and limbs are down everywhere. We were on curfew until this morning.
In walking the yard I found two very frightened and cold baby squirrels who were clearly blown from their nest.
They are warm, snuggly and fed now inside my home!
I'm not posting much presently since I can only charge my phone in my car until power is back.

My friend in Orlando is ok but without power. She has tree limbs down and some yard objects moved a bit; but her house and amazingly the awning on her kids play set is perfectly in tact.
