Hurricane Irma: now a tropical storm, moving into Georgia today

[O.T.I.S.]

My plan is to chill here for a day or so. If it becomes clear that Atl will take a direct hit too we are dipping to Alabama or interior Tn


You are right breh

I would've been in biloxi at the casino unless I had immediate family with a place to stay if I was evacuating Florida.

Montgomery only 2 hours away though, so is birmingham

When they started mentioning the two words us Floridians DO NOT wanna hear when a hurricane is formed, that being "Hurricane Andrew", you know shyt is getting real

how do they measure category numbers, I wonder?

Seems like Irma got Andrew beat on everything, but is still classified a number below it (for right now)

Damn they expecting some areas to get around 9ft floods

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Just got home from work, picked up two more cases of water, 2 gallon of water, Gatorade and more hurricane snacks.

About to head out to pick up some duct tape and caulk and then packing some of my shyt away. There's no leaving now so to my Miami brehs and broward brehs please be safe out there. Don't do shyt for the gram or fb. Get to a safe place of your crib and hold it down.

When I get back Ima enjoy my last day of online gaming n then make some love to my shorty lol.

Smash her like its your last time homie

A lot of hotels are already booked here in Montgomery

[Standing on business]

People should have left days ago i don't get why people waited til last minute

I've always wondered the same thing, but then I think about how many people actually have the disposable cash for 3-5 people (depending on family size) last minute RT plane tickets, and a hotel for 3-5 days. Then you have to worry about your job, how many people can just tell their boss fukk it I'm not coming in for the next week or two even though y'all decided to stay open. It's just all fukked up.

6 out of 10 Americans have less than $500 in their savings account; how about you?f

As flat as Florida is, I believe it.

That graphic is wrong.

Category 1: 74-95 mph
Category 2: 96-110 mph
Category 3: 111-129 mph
Category 4: 130-156 mph
Category 5: 157 mph +

Irma was at 185 mph but now it's down to 150 mph

The eye is moving away from Miami.

I think it's by wind and Irmas winds slowed down just enough to get it down to a category 4, barley though.
