Power back - who knows - 5 minutes? Anyone want to shoot a N FL boy an update and outlook before we're off grid again?

I would Phil but haven't been on here too much this morning, looks like it's still on track making another landfall on Marco Island, headed towards Naples.... Glad your powers back on but by the look of things not for long unfortunately. Oh yeah numerous Tor warnings along east coast too, she means business, stay safe friend!
 
At 300 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated the center of Hurricane
Irma was near Marco Island. Flash flooding from life-threatening
storm surge is expected to begin shortly along coastal Collier
County.

This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for Collier County. This is a
PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. EVACUATE VERTICALLY NOW!

They are coming up to high tide but Irmas not letting it in, still over a foot below MLLW. As soon as the center passes the surge is going to pile in along with the tide being held out. Could get nuts.

Thanks! ... been off and on - mostly off - since 10:00 - the closer she comes the less likelihood of getting it back for a few days ... will report from the far southern command outpost as conditions warrant and electricity permits (phone is not being used for weather!)

Keep your ears perked for spinners. As fast as they move about all you can do is listen,duck and cover! Think Irma's going to be dishing them out like beads at Mardi Gras.
 
Mike Seidel on TWC in the eye, just N of Marco Island, about to get wrecked! Live now
