I'm 62' above sea level. But i don't think there will be much surge affecting anyone. Who knows though. The bay is about 5' low right now. FB is chock full of pics of people walking around about 50' into where the water normally is.

Irma downgraded to Cat 2.

This info is the sister county to Tonkas... Next high tide is around 4am in St Petersburg area. Considering the eye will be passing at 2am that will be when we know for sure how bad water surge will be.

Pinellas county which is where St Petersburg is located is not allowing vehicles into the county until further notice. Depending upon how bad the winds and water end up being it could be days until access is granted.

Anyone have info on Naples? I'm assuming it's the eye right now correct?

Fair enough. CNN isn't the biggie here but I bet that the conservative ones are banned there.

Nice

Jesus the storm surge thing is mind blowing. Even after the water retreats, the land will be like salted through and through which will make growing things fun.

I'm off to bed, stay safe guys and keep reporting your experiences. The print media is a bit slow for sure but it appears the water is rising.

Can't wait the weather channel here, Verizon had a disagreement.

Fox News it is.

I saw Chris Cuomo out in the elements. Of course, he was up high. I was hoping that some debris would smack him in the head.

Hey Haywood, can't remember if your M3 is sold or not? I'm hoping it is.

That sucks. I'm in fern park. Just a few flickers but still going strong. A few people in i know Maitland and Fairbanks area are out though. It's very spotty. My dock is almost under water. Seems to have calmed down past few minutes though, wonder how long till the real fun starts.
