Here's hoping Irma stays south of Florida.

Hope all of our friends down there stay safe regardless.
 
I agree, please stay safe. Wishing you all the best from up north.
 
I hope Irma goes away. But my prayers that everyone affected by this will be OK. God Bless

Irma is the most powerful Hurricane ever recorded in the eastern atlantic, unfortunately it will wipe everything in it's path from the face of the earth.

In California terms it would be like 8-9 magnitude earth quake.

185 mile per hour sustained winds at the current strength.

Check this radar picture out and see the width of the eye compared to Puerto Rico

Heard this stat a bit ago on TWC. This thing is no joke. :(
 
yeah really nervous here.Been through 3 of these this one can really set back peoples lives.
 
This is a very bigggg one! I'm nervous about this one and I live in DC area!

These systems tend to make a right turn after landfall and then we'll get a piece of here as well...

Will be thinking about all of you guys down there!

Tom - I'm with you on that. I'm in Baltimore. Sandy caused damage for me when we lost electric and sump pump went out. Hoping it just turns out to the ocean.
 
Storm tracker I'm using. I'm sure there are others as well.

Select Atlantic and then Irma under 2017 tracks to see the historical and potential path. The island of Barbuda is going to have a bad night. If it goes South it likely hits the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic/Haiti, and Cuba. North it hits the Bahamas and Florida. Hoping it takes that narrow path between all of them.
 
Wow! This thing sounds scary as heck. I'm lucky enough to live in a part of the world that rarely if ever see anything of this scale, so I haven't a clue what these hurricanes are like but they sure don't look like a cake walk.

Please, everyone be safe & look out for one another.

Im located in PR and just a few hours away from Irma arriving. I believe it is gonna be the worst to hit PR ever. I was able to prep and secure our apt, but since i live in an apt complex, cars are unfortunately left unprotected

Hope the three story buildings that surround the complex are enough to block outside debris and junk surrender:

Good luck, try to stay safe.
 
The worst thing about this is getting contractors that are licensed to get them to come out.Past experience was that contractors tend to take on big jobs first and going thru the insurance process is a fulltime job.
 
Please be safe everyone....

Thoughts and prayers go to Florida.
 
Thoughts and prayers with all my AGO family in Irma's path.
 
Just got off the phone with the AG warehouse checking on an order... they're still there trying to get our Labor Day orders out. AG truly is a quality organization!

Here's hoping Irma is much less than expected and that everyone at AG stays safe.
