They say Irma is the size of Texas.
I saw this picture this morning- really puts it into perspective.
I remember how devastating Andrew was... now I see this.

I remember when Ivan hit our place in Pensacola there was some real heavy damage all along I-10 all the way to the east coast and then the darned thing made a U-turn and came back across into the Gulf. It was a big storm but nothing like Irma.

latest says it will go up the west side of Fla making the whole Fla Peninsula the dirty side of the storm. Not good news at all.

Every nudge further west is better news for me, of course; I hate that it has to come at someone else's expense. I also hate that, once Irma's remnants arrive in Tennessee, a lot of the models seem to indicate no clear sense of direction.:hide

I was born in Homestead....south of Miami....the hospital was leveled by Andrew, I don't think the state will be next week what people know it to be today. I'm thankful to be in Mississippi and sure hope the youngest daughter and her family come thru this okay. They have a recently built house with all the updated codes, so hopefully it will withstand the storm and they will be safe. They have taken every step in preparation and are as prepared as they can be....so, only time will tell. They are not in a low lying area, but there are several lakes around them.
