Sunshine and great weather for Indiana, as Irma edges closer to Florida

For the past week, the entire state of Florida has been on guard as Hurricane Irma – a massive storm reaching as high as a category 5 storm with winds at 185 miles per hour – continued its push toward the state.

If you’re a resident of Palm Beach County, it’s likely you’re hoping that question will never find its answer. Envision that all the way to Jacksonville and beyond. “There’s no way everybody can evacuate”.

Another Florida resident has made an event encouraging people to “shoot flames” at the storm.

At 9:30 a.m. Friday, Mayor Lenny Curry was joined by the mayors of all three beach communities to announce a mandatory evacuation for Zones A and B – which includes all of the barrier islands and areas adjacent to all waterways – for Saturday.

Floridians who are choosing to stay and ride out Hurricane Irma continue to empty store shelves of supplies. Early panic purchases led to fuel stations harboring lines of more than 20 cars in places such as Palm Beach County.

Less than two weeks after Hurricane Harvey destroyed large swaths of Texas, Hurricane Irma is set to make landfall on Florida this weekend, and it looks like it could be an even more devastating storm. “Unless you go way back to 1926”. Johnson points out the county handles twice that number of motorists twice a day during rush hour.

Earlier, the country’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said the hurricane would “devastate the United States in either Florida or some of the southeastern states”. “Wind is not the killer”.

People are exhausted after hurricane Matthew and Hermine.

Irma, the most powerful Atlantic Ocean hurricane in recorded history, has already wrought destruction in the Caribbean, killing at least 22 people.

Urging Americans in the path of the storm to “be vigilant”, President Trump said Irma would be unlike anything experienced before.

Jim Curry, who is FSU’s senior associate athletics director for governance and compliance, told Warchant late Thursday the athletics department is “exhausting everything we’ve got” to assist its players and their families.

“We live in Florida and we’re prone to hurricanes, and we will get through this”, she said.

Pinellas County in Florida yesterday issued evacuation orders, following other counties in the state for the past few days. The company hasn’t posted re-opening plans for any Florida locations.

“They’re putting on a good face, but you can see underneath everybody’s scared”, he said. They’ve been forced to evacuate.
