IkeTheGeneric:
Aw man, I hope they'll fare well, man.
Drydess:
man there's an old couple that i used to live across from that were damn nice and they're deciding to ride out the storm on their own. unfortunately they're likely gonna be damn close to the eye so now im pretty sad
Rockinboy2000:
my relatives down there had to evac or else thank god, meanwhile 2 friends of mine are presumably still down there, one directly in its path, dunno if ill sleep this well tonight, gonna see how long my friend directly in its path will be online before he gets knocked off
kelau:
Irma has been downgraded to a Cat 3 now, still deadly but not as i guess
be safe anybody down there
SeventhSandwich:
There's a misconception here. Irma being downgraded to category 3 does not mean it is 'beginning to break up'. It's still very much an extremely powerful hurricane that could kill hundreds. It'll be a week before it actually starts breaking apart.
For comparison, Katrina also made landfall as a category 3. Doesn't mean it was 'breaking up'.
