By the time I catch up, I hope to see that your family is evacuating. If not,
Tell them when their windows are straining under 185 mph winds and their building is swaying, they will get 225 mph bursts that could easily pop their windows.
And, they should NOT open the windows or doors, this is NOT recommended, as it could suck everything out of their apartment.
On top of that, they probably will not have power or water. And there is uncertainty if all the nuclear plants will be safe.
Tell them to get out and live to tell the story. And if there's a medical emergency, there's no help. A little fear is sometimes a good thing in motivating people. On the flip side, it's reduced from 185 to 175.
Ribit, note, too, that Georgia, SC and NC are in the line of fire. Could be Savannah, too, where I have family.
Every time I hear Shep on Fox say more, I get even more concerned. Big eye, 25 mph, yet another unprecedented storm worst than we've seen before.
Houston is projected to be the most expensive storm on record. Now, Irma's projected to be even worse than that.
