My brother went to PCB Friday and brought my Dad back to Indy, he lives here also. A few did stay there but haven't had too much bad weather, just rain. I'm very relieved Irma lost a lot of her strength. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Is there any update from our Florida friends? Do you have power? Trees down? Flooding? If not we'll presume there is power out and they will check in as they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their house is fine but lost one tree. No electricity and no eta. No flooding either. They felt very fortunate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 brother in Tampa reports pretty much the same. He was going there anyway, but went a little earlier to take care of his dad. No response yet from friend in Miami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted September 12, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 12, 2017 TONS of folks without power in Tampa, Plant City and Lakeland. Several regained power today, but many are still without. As you can see, only 56.9% in Tampa Bay have power which is only up 2.8% from 9hrs ago. We were fortunate to not have lost power. My sister and her family came over this evening to take a hot shower and when she went home, their power was restored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlthess40 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Well the over sized pine trees did not fall down. But a lot of the branches did. We are very lucky that nothing got damaged And everyone here is ok. We only lost power for 20 hours. That really put my 12 year old to the test of having no internet lolLol. We had cell service but it was very slow at best. I hope all my friends here made it though as well as me and my family did.

Mallette Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 So "Irma" has reached Texarkana. Sort of expected it in spite of the forecast. Barometer dropping, clouds moving in but no sign of rain yet. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottajam Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 We here in Savannah GA were very blessed to have been spared the worst of the storm. Prayers go out to all those affected by Irma. My Mom stayed in Marco Island (S.W. FL.). They got hit pretty bad but they survived with no major loss. It freaked me out when I was talking with her a couple days before the storm and she told me she was tired of running from hurricanes and she was staying right at home. She has lived in south FL all of her life, I have too. We have run from many hurricanes. She still lives down so she still has been running from for many years after I left. She survived. Many did not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted September 13, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 13, 2017 I know there is flooding and power outages, but glad to hear overall things are better than it could have been. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave That's true, but when you live on small islands sticking right out on the side of a hurricane expressway you're taking more than an average chance to start with. This is some shocking satellite pictures of islands hit with 185mph winds from Irma. http://mashable.com/2017/09/12/hurricane-irma-islands-before-after-photos-reveal-destruction/#Jxw7crofDmql 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
