2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season (182 dead) - Maria Cat 4, Barbuda Abandoned

[kelau]

Irma has made landfall as Cat 5 in the Keys.

"And for those in the Keys: "You're on your own until we can actually get in there, and it's safe for our teams to support local and state efforts," Long said. "The message has been clear -- the Keys are going to be impacted, there is no safe area within the Keys, and you put your life in your own hands by not evacuating.""

If you're still in the keys you're dead as forget.

[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'.
