Hurricane Irma

@sudokujesus Is this your brother

Seriously though, it's a good video. God help these people who chose to stay. This guy realizes what he's doing, he sounds very calm.

More CBR prep pics. LOTS of zip ties. Lounge chairs are stacked and zipptied. Benches at Bus stop ziptied together. Maintenance has been putting "fishnets" on all the lamp posts... No one told me there was a dress code for this storm! Off to MK now will share anything interesting. Thank you to everyone who responded to my last post regarding the ME issues will keep that in mind should we need it!

I hope Marco Island and Naples area have been preparing like the east coast....

Major kudos for Disney's decision! As much as we talk about "nickel and dimeing, #thanksShanghai, and corporate greed" I am extremely impressed they called for these closures today. I am thinking of all those that will be affected! Hurricane sandy did major damage to NJ, but it's nothing like Irma and I will be hoping the best for all those in its path. Stay safe, stay strong, all us Disney lovers have to stick together!

PS... is it evil to wish the only damage would be to Expedition Everest so they are forced to fix the yeti? I kid, I kid!!!!

That's a plot twist - Tampa, not Miami, gets it worse. And it keeps drifting west! Good for the southeast. Bad for everyone else.

I wonder how much the areas that are currently under construction - SW Land, toy story land will be delayed because of this storm

Probably not at all if they don't receive any damage...

Anyone see a problem with planning a trip for 9/15, next Friday? Seems it should have blown through by then and barring any damages, maybe good to go?

I just checked the app and everything seems fine. My fastpasses and dinners are still there, maybe it was just a glitch?

yeah i would think you're good to go anytime after monday really. could be tough getting to orlando tuesday, but after that, should be fine.

I hope everything is still good for Tuesday. Our flight is still on but I guess we'll see how everything goes over the weekend.
But yeah, any time after Monday should be fine.

Hm, speaking of that I wonder what, if any, will fly off because of the storm. You can secure things all you want, but if it the wind wants to take it it'll take it.

Maybe, but I wonder if some of the same workforce that would be used to build the attractions, (carpenters, construction worker, electricians etc). will be needed to help repair surrounding areas in FL if there is catastrophic damage

If anyone still heading north out of FL, my contacts say rooms still available in Pensacola.

My sincere hope for both of you (watching intently from downtown Birmingham) is that Orlando gets nothing more than a manageable amount of wind and rain.

Right there with you watching from B'ham.

For some reason I feel like this is going to continue to push more west and go up that side of Florida rather than through the center of the state....seems like models are slowly moving in that direction.

5:33pm. You were right.

Prayers for everyone - we have family down there with special healthcare needs that are unable to evacuate. They're in a hotel near Orlando.

It's pouring here.

My sons live in Gulf Breeze and they said that things were hectic earlier in the week but now that they are completely out of the projected path things are back to normal, looks to be a good place to evac to

 

[ItlngrlBella]

Damn you Irma.
Praying someone revokes her Fastpass and gives her wrong directions.

 

[crxbrett]

You had one job.

Hahahaha!!! Funny thing is, that's not even a SoCal station. You'd think the local Florida stations would know better.

I just had this up while I was on a phone call..

Look.. in a matter of minutes, and I missed taking a photo of quite a few-

My trip is already planned for arrival 9/16. I guess so I have until 9/12 to decide to cancel. It will have blown through by then.
