    Crews are already in the area. Last I heard they were staging in Georgia. Good luck. Hunker down. Be SAFE! And always assume any wires on the ground are live. Stay away....

    Locally the outer rain bands came around off and on today. Currently getting rain and wind, but only about 25mph. Nothing compared to what's coming.

    Been waiting for the 11pm update, and here it is: Storm has turned to a NW direction from its WNW track. So it is making its way toward us. Not as strong, only Cat 3, but moving more slowly, so more time for wind damage and storm surge.

    Be safe. A number of forecasts for the next hurricane, Jose, predict it to head more of a NE direction and out to sea, so at least there's that.

    Stay dry.

    Hopefully we all make it ok, especially my 93 year old grandma and her little sister who is 81, both hunkered down in NE St. Pete. We won't see Irma until tomorrow in Southern SC, but have actually started getting gusts of wind and storm surge of 4-6 feet. Totally shocked, as a few days ago it was Miami, then a few days before, it could have been us directly. This one is still unpredictable, wish it would just peter out already. God bless all y'all / you'se guys. Especially in the Keys and South and West Florida.

    Weathered the outermost band of tropical storm force winds okay with intermittent power outages. In a calmer band at the moment waiting for the more consolidated stuff. Northward speed at a crawl now (<9 mph) so this will be a prolonged event lasting well into this evening/tomorrow morning.

    Hope @Mikey081057 and @Derf are safe and sound!

    Eye wall is 10 miles away. Moving into the laundry room. Have heard roof tiles coming off roof. Can see a few in the pool. Daughter is keeping her cat calm, and vice versa. Canal behind house is almost dry, storm has sucked water off shore. Hopefully when it comes back it doesn't come back forcefully.

    Stay safe, Fred! Keeping a good thought for you and yours.

    First band of hurricane force winds just arrived here. My main concern is the roof as well. If these barrel tiles get airborne they'll be like mortar rounds.

    Into eye wall now about 15 minutes. Winds are 120 mph. Roof tiles continue to be blown off. Roof is leaking in a few spots. Put out pots and towels. More to come. Feel like Capt. Dan.
