Take care of yourselves this coming week, into next.
Seems this German gal 'Irma' is coming to dance, and it doesn't look to be very pretty.

Watching it because it will pass the Dutch islands as well.
Looks to be a real bummer Cat 5, hope everyone stays safe...

Dutch military forces and ships on standby there ready to help.
The supply ships carry helicopters and boats as well containers with aid material.

At some point in the last 20 years, the left moved to the center, and the right moved into a mental institution

I've seen Florida. That's enough to level the southern half. Nuclear level destruction. If it turns north like they're saying, well, I blame Trump. If it goes into the Gulf of Mexico I know it's messed up, but it should hit the same area of Texas again. It's already destroyed.
Had several relatives move to the Melbourne area over the years. I really hope they dodge a bullet, but I doubt that they truly realize what they are facing.
It's Al Gore's fault...

I'm sure the free and open market will protect them from the fake news of climate change causing megastorms to be more frequent.
If the current models hold, FL and SC are gonna get a belt-sanding.
Stay safe, Charles.

I'll just get a bunch of rain and wind. Tropical storm type stuff.
During Hugo the biggest problem was power being out and my employer insisting that all shifts run as regular. So, we all stood in the dark plant. Couldn't sweep because of the dark etc. We stood there and talked. Mostly complaining about not even being allowed to sit down since it was close to 7 hours before power restored and cracking jokes about whatever the topic of the day was. The plant manager walks by and hears us talking. Tells our shift supervisor that we are the worst shift he's ever seen and that our attitudes is that which is akin to kindergartners who didn't get their juice and cookie that day. We're all like, "WTF does this sorry ginger SOB expect?" On of the guys was older and he bellowed forth in his best Shakespearean voice, "There shall be no levity upon the situation anon for thee is surely, surely thee know'st 'tis common; all that lives must die ..." Before he could finish the line he was sent home and laid off for 3 days.
Just saw a report from St. Martin - 225 MPH winds. This is easily the strongest Atlantic Hurricane (outside the Caribbean) in history. The expectation is that it will drop to a Cat 4 when it hits land, but who knows? If I lived in Florida, I'd get out my water wings and start paddling north.
