Irma is definitely tracking east of the NHC and Euro paths at this point.

I could see landfall near Marcos Island and that would also mean worse winds for SE Florida.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Irma doing everything possible to fuck up as much as possible. A bit more east than fully expected putting SE FL in the shit. But apparently it's mostly due to an eyewall replacement cycle and the storm itself isn't really technically moving more east. Which still puts the west side of FL on the clock.

CNN is reporting, via Miami Herald, that everything in Key West is under water.

Any of the feeds still up?

 

[Dark_3nergy]

I hope Marco Island is OK... :\ It might end up like the Keys, there is no elevation there...

 

[sazzy]

I had about 5 feeds bookmarked. None of them are up.

edit: Miami Herald reporter in Key West who had a live stream is also down http://www.miamiherald.com/news/weather/hurricane/article172410317.html

Just woke up...how strong is she? Miss anything crazy overnight?

Many people consider their pets part of the family.

People are just different I guess. For me my son, wife, brother, sisters lives > than my dogs life.

My girl and I evaced and we got someone to watch our dog down there who is riding it out. We did fly out with the cat though.

Key West is the next Barbuda. Total devastation with total communication blackout.

Okay, looks like the shelter's still okay. But things are pretty rough there too, someone's already died in the shelter and they're struggling with food.

At least Barbuda wasn't completely submerged. Everything being underwater was the exact reason people were told to GTFO.

CNN just talked with a dude hunkering down at Marco Island.. seems to be doing okay for now but the worst of it is definitely coming soon.

Jeff is broadcasting from Marco Island, and yeah, it looks bad.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Key West being underwater is exactly why Monroe County (the keys) are the very first to get mandatory evacuations.

A high school friend of mine who has a daughter with cancer, evacuated with his family to Memphis Tennessee from Sarasota Florida. Now the daughter's health deteriorated and he is in the children's hospital there. What a shitshow

One of the two streams there just went out.

Edit:

Maybe back up?

That stream was fucking me up earlier, watching feeds blinking out in real time and all the condition indicators flicking over to ERROR one by one.

[MoonsaultSlayer]

I'm thinking not since the chat keeps saying all key west cams are down. Not sure what this is. If fake (old footage), it's kinda douchey.

If you check some of the other stations further up in Florida you can also see the water levels dropping below the predicted normal.

 

[Jest Chillin]

There are a few taller buildings. Nothing really huge though. I don't recognize any of those angles but I only lived there a few years.

I think that's bad? Does it not suggest it being drawn out to surge back in?

 

[Steel]

Is that really Key West? Do they have tall buildings there?

Been there multiple times. There's a couple of 4ish story hotels there, but nothing particularly tall. I'd be worried about the giant restaurant boats coming in and smashing up buildings though.

 

[Branduil]

Which armchair meteorologists?

Just a couple hours ago:

I think, considering the eye is there now, key west isn't going to be a disaster zone. Cell phone towers still up no sign of storm surge and wind gusts aren't over 100.

It's definitely not Key West. Some people in the youtube chat are saying it's Miami but I have no idea.

 

[TyrantII]

YouTube and Facebook shit click baiters put up old footage and broadcast it as live to get channel clicks/sub for when they put up pirated shit and run commercials.

People need to stop posting random social media shit that isn't verified.

 

[2MF]

I suspect it is Miami too because it looks suspiciously similar to a previously posted stream.

I mentioned the tall buildings because when I visited the keys I didn't notice any.

Picked up its speed and has basically only moved north within the last two hours. We may see a big adjustment to the track within the next 10 minutes.
