Looks like Miami dodged a bullet with Irma's track moving to the west. They still are going to get plenty of rain and maybe some flooding but not near as bad as the west coast of Florida. Tampa and Fort Myers are going to take a direct hit from the winds and storm surge being in the northwest quadrant of the hurricane. I hope everyone in those areas have been making preparation too.
Jsnip4 lives in the Tampa area and he is going to stay to document the hurricane. I have a bad feeling he's not going to be able to livestream or make video for a while when this thing bears down on Tampa with 120+mph winds. He could be out of power for weeks. I hope he knows what he's doing because this storm is no joke.

If he's right in the path...that's not good.
A little steemit fame is not worth his life.
I hope the storm goes further west and fizzles out.
Thanks for sharing,
Peace!
you're right @em3 it's not good. Hey @wakeupnd, if he's your friend, do try to convince Jsnip4 to not do this as it is very risky!
don't panic just follow authority advise.
He is brave! @lexiconical is also near Tampa. Hoping they are both okay!
Keep calm, don't become panic. just follow govt. advise.
I know this comment of mine hardly matters; nevertheless, I offer my heartfelt condolences to the people of the U.S. who have lost their dear and loved ones due to the recent storms and the floods. ❤️ Love.
Yeah, Florida is already below sea level and forecasters expect a 10- 15 feet storm surge in some locations on the Florida west coast. Maybe he went far enough inland to avoid most of the flooding but he will most likely experience hurricane force winds and power outage.
Check out the video I just posted. I want to know your thoughts. The ocean is gone from the Bahamas
