And who in the heck puts a nuclear power plant HERE?

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately his wife and mother in law are h*** bent on staying and he obviously won't leave them so they have cancelled their tickets they are going to ride it out and head to the hospital as a last resort Saturday morning if it's still looking like a direct hit

I'm in Bal Harbour & many are goin ride it out, buildings are different, my windows are rated for 175 mph winds. I might ride it out but @ Miami International AP but I have flight 2 separate flights for Fri. too

That plane that flew into Irma yesterday had gusts over 220mph......granted it's a Cat 5 at that point but they measure sustained winds and not the gusts.

Leave bro!

Still praying for a hard right turn and fall to pieces.

If you live in bal harbor I doubt that you are in a mobile home, but bal harbor is just reclaimed swamp land, so the tidal surges are going to get brutal anyone riding this out is crazy and I would not really have any sympathy for them

Pretty good article showing video/pics of damage done so far.

"The four "most solid" buildings on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin have been destroyed as Hurricane Irma wreaks major damage in the region, the French government has said."

I would feel better if they were in a high rise..... they back up to La Gorce golf course off Alton Road......6 ft above see level and probably less than 1.2 miles from the beach

If I were housemates with this fella I think I'd hit the floor every time he started up on of these videos. Lots of energy!

I don't think anything stops surge except elevation. If the pressure stays low and the winds stay high it will be a dam sight higher than 6 foot.

TP survived Hurricane Andrew in 92. It was supposedly built to withstand Cat5's. Hoping we won't see a Florida version of Fukushima.

If we do it will take care of that invasive python problem in the Everglades, cuz there won't be an Everglades!

Actually this sounds like a script from a SYFY channel movie. Storm of the century causes reactors to meltdown and causes mutant invasive reptiles roaming S fL

I really didn't think I could laugh on this thread, but that is some funny stuff

Are you sure this didn't already happen? There sure are a lot of freeloading mutant democrats running around down there....
