The entire island of Barbuda is now evacuated except for luke two people. One of them is some kind of hunter (please no one ask). Anyways god speed to them as the island is now under Hurricane Warning yet again as Jose approaches. Antigua is under a Hurricane Watch and Tropical Storm warning.

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Wish someone would just take Irma and push her somewhere else.

Can we just make it so it only affects Rick Scott's house?

I using humor to make the best of what is otherwise a very terrifying situation I find myself in.

I'd rather not think about coming back to a home full of looters or no home at all.

It's most likely gonna be a high 4 when landfall but it would be interesting to see the effects. Nonetheless, I pray for Florida.

Point still stands. I wasn't serious.

Don't get me wrong, Scott's an ass but nobody deserves to have their home destroyed.

Reporting 46 hours later, no power for 45 1/2 hours. Do not know why no power. I understand that the Governor called for electric power to be shuf off in the entire island but there was no real damage to the electric lines in my regional location unlike NE points of PR. Most other neighborshoods in our regional location had power and we had to wait almost two days and no real damage in the electric lines. Some people think they are mixing politics into the equation. Some politicians want to sell the government owned electric company. So this could make a nice excuse. Of course, the private buyers only want the power plants. No one wants the transmission lines.

Going back, the wind blew hard around 1 am to 2 am on Sept. 8. They were just tropical force winds since the Hurricane force winds of this five hurricane were at least 100 miles to the North which would put it over the Atlantic ocean.

So in two days the frozen foods started thawing. So many of my neighbors went out and bought ice. Then later one of my neighbors boss, who has three portable generators, loaned one of my neighbors the generator after he got power. So today he brought over to my neighbor one of his portable generators. I helped hooked it up to her big freezer and refrigerator/freezer. So I and another neighbor took our frozen foods to the neighbor who got loaned the portable generator.

That new hurricane Jose is suppose to pass farther north of PR. so there should be no major problems.

According to Ventusky and NOAA reports, Jose would go north a little then wander randomly for a bit.

Heh...

Irma is back at Category 5. Perhaps I was wrong but I was trying to be positive for Miami.

Now that it's Cat 5, good luck to Miami.

The news here in Colorado just said Irma will probably hug the coast of Cuba for a bit, then turn north along the west coast of Florida, heading for Atlanta.
