Stay safe Wensdi

Just a quick thought for Wensdi & Her family with that Hurricane bearing down on Florida Stay safe & best wishes to you all.

Yeah, good luck. My brother-in-law is coming to visit from Miami this weekend and decided to send his wife and kids to the in-laws in Mexico City, so must be a shitty forecast.

looks like a biggy heading up that way currently  (
hope you stay safe..

Update. Their flights have been cancelled to Mexico City, so they're boarding up the house and either staying in a shelter or driving north. 

Bloody hell...new update, they've somehow managed to get a private jet and are on their way to Mexico City.

Are you staying Wensdi or getting out of dodge? Either way, good luck for this weekend and hope you all stay safe and there's not too much damage caused.

The world is going bonkers....

I think it's less of a problem being in Mexico than Florida right now.

They've just downgraded Irma to a 4. But 2 more backing it up.

Dont think Mexico is much safer, there is another hurricane (Katia) affecting there and they also just announced this morning that there was an earthquake in the south measuring in excess of 8 on the Richter scale   Apparently is shook buildings in Mexico City hundreds of miles away

Sorry Wensdi forgot to add my best wishes and hope you and yours stay safe this weekend

Bloody hell

Wensdi, hope you and yours are all safe and sound.

My brother-in-law landed in Mexico City a few hours ago.

Latest news is that Irma will hit the Keys and South Florida by tomorrow evening. It's currently over Bahamas, travelling at 16mph with winds close to 160 mph. 

Problem is, when they travel over large expanses of water, they pick up even more power and energy, which increases wind speed.

Thank you all for your good wishes.  Fortunately I was visiting Atlanta - my husband told me not to return until after the hurricane as its going to be devastating.  I won't be able to get a flight back for ages though as everyone else will be trying to return to Florida. 

Fingers crossed for him and the 3 cats - told him to find a shelter as the windows could all blow in - then no power for days, weeks who knows.  Very frightening for all of us.  Monster of a storm and as its turned more westerly we will get the brunt of it.  Eye is supposed to pass right over us unless the trajectory turns tomorrow.  Can't sleep.

glad to hear your away from it but I hope your husband & cats remain safe through the ordeal. It must be a real tense time for you.... All the best.

All the best wishes for your hubby, cats and home!

Hope all will be ok wensdi
Must be a really worrying time,especially when you can't be with them

Wow thinking of you Wensdi. It's something we just can't comprehend over here.

Glad you're out of harm's way wensdi.
Hope all goes well for your hubby.

Hope you've left Atlanta now Wensdi, as it's on its way there too?

Been watching my brother-in-laws cctv of his house...when the storm hit. Thankfully, it's made of steel and upgraded to withstand hurricanes. But still, lots of flooding.

No trouble in Atlanta with Irma - just some rain.  Finally back home after 12 hour drive - should have been 7 hours - but bumper to bumper traffic in parts.  Had no power since Sunday - so house was like a greenhouse 95 degrees and everything in the fridge/freezer - rotten.  Still - the good news was husband and kitties all fine.  Power switched on tonight (Thursday at 5:30 pm) so celebrating.

Thank you all for your good wishes

Great news Wensdi

Brilliant news. Waiting for news on my brother-in-laws house. He lives in Doral, Miami.

Glad to hear you and yours are all fine, Wensdi.

can only concur with the above wishes. pleased all are safe.

I see there is another hurricane on its way towards you Wensdi, I guess you back home now. It seems like madness in that part of the world right now if you include Mexico

Stay safe
