The floods were so extensive, many families struggled to give the dead a proper burial because of the lack of dry land

... for perspective.

Why don't you start a thread about it then?

It's not worth reporting, because it's not in the US.

Has anyone heard about Cuba since Irma hit there? Hell it's only 90 miles away from Fla.. I've not seen any US reporting on their fate.

I noticed that too.

It's as if Cuba does not exist.

I think the recent sonar attack on US diplomats, which caused some permanent injury has put Cuba in the doghouse.

Yeah you can find it online...but if you were watching a TV set live in the US, broken tree branches and garbage bins blowing around in Fla were much more important. Of course I may have missed the extensive Cuba coverage on TV too.

Not surprising results.

A majority of people (I know) get this kind of odd, (arguably morbid) nervous excitement when prepping for a hurricane's arrival, regardless of its lethal possibilities.

It's been evident in my family's texts and other messages.

Doubt I'll sleep tonight - Wish I was there.

Matanzas as taken the refugees from the Vardero hotels according to Cuban news

Shellac meaning hard coating or beating is an underestimate of the treamnet due for Tamp and St Pete, a terrible end but a beautiful finish.

shel·lac
SHəˈlak/Submit
verb
past tense: shellacked; past participle: shellacked
1.
varnish (something) with shellac.
2.
NORTH AMERICAN
informal
defeat or beat (someone) decisively.
"they were shellacked in the 1982 election"

While forecast to peter out nr Ohio in a week the next one is brewing, meanwhile milions of Rohinhyas Bangla Deshis struggle with no insurance aid or publicity even parts of LOS are underwater

Eyewall is on Marcos and approaching Naples....Ft. Myers / Cape Coral should be next.

Got peeps hunkered in Naples, the Cape and others prepping further north in St. Petes, Crystal River and Panama City Beach.

Mom (safe in N Georgia):

"Your sister's boss 'Kinsey' is recuperating from multiple organ transplants. She was released from the hospital to a nearby hotel and they evacuated it(Tampa)!!
Took her back into the hospital on lockdown!!"

Astounding images being broadcast live from Florida.

Cat 2 storm. It’s pretty much over thankfully

**JayZee** · 11-09-2017, 04:54 AM

I don't think my sister & nieces/nephews near Sarasota would necessarily agree with you ...

**bsnub** · 11-09-2017, 04:55 AM

^^ Dodged a bullet thankfully. I am sure Rush Limbaugh and the right will now start blabbing about how this was all fake news pushed by the liberal media.. Smh.

Maybe ...

The report we had here that the storm surge is yet to peak (in certain parts) and more people typically die in these events from drowning then the wind gusts etc.

Well wishes to those with rellies in the storm area.

**David48atTD** · 11-09-2017, 06:05 AM

Something from left field ...

"YO SO THIS GOOFY … LETS SHOW IRMA THAT WE SHOOT FIRST … "

Authorities were forced to warn people not to fire their guns at the storm.

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office tweeted late on Saturday: "DO NOT shoot weapons @ #Irma.

You won't make it turn around [and] it will have very dangerous side effects."

The sheriff's office, which is in the Tampa Bay-area, was responding to a Facebook event page created by two Florida men inviting
people to shoot their guns into the storm.

The page read: "YO SO THIS GOOFY … LETS SHOW IRMA THAT WE SHOOT FIRST … "

Within hours, images depicting "how to shoot at a hurricane" were shared among the group with the suggestion that if you fire
correctly the bullet might not come back and kill you.

The invitation presumably was a joke, but 80,000 people indicated they were "going" or "interested" in the event.

The creator of the page, 22-year-old Ryon Edwards, told the BBC, "A combination of stress and boredom made me start the event".

"I never envisioned this event becoming some kind of crazy idea larger than myself."

In a tweet issued in the hours as Irma neared the Florida Keys, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office asked the thousands of people who
had shared the page to also share their request for volunteers needed at hurricane shelters.

David, Florida isn’t a third world/developing country/state. The dirty part of the storm has moved passed the critical purple/red/brown highlighted areas.

most people should be just fine as long as they take necessary precautions

**BaitongBoy** · 11-09-2017, 06:54 AM

Well, maybe the next one will be the super-charged demon with incredible wind-speeds topping 200 mph...

Funny how it's not exciting enough to follow if it's under 5...
