I'm sure you've been through your share of hurricanes and survived well, but I can say with certainty, none of those storms you've experienced come even close to this one. Especially when you're looking at a direct hit. This one ain't no joke. Everything in it's path will be wiped out, either flattened or flooded. A buzzsaw like no other. It's not worth risking your life.
 
Hurricane Andrew would beg to differ.
 
If I lived in a trailer or a house built out of matchbooks I would evacuate. If I live on the beach or in a storm surge or flood zone area I would evacuate. I don't.

My house has the highest hurricane mitigation rating that exists. We may lose power and be highly inconvenienced for a period but I'm not going to die.
 
Bullshit. It's only bigger.

It's already exceeded Andrew's peak intensity.

I'm really tired of this. Andrew when it made landfall in Florida it had sustained winds of 165 mph with a barometric pressure of 922mb. Irma is currently at 160 and 924 mb. So you are just wrong. I will take my 30 years experience and my interest in meteorology and sleep just fine tonight.

I am am no longer going to entertain this back and forth.

Go Skins!
 
If this storm causes my directv to go out and I miss the game tomorrow I'm gonna be pissed
 
Praying all of you will be safe.

Isabel was a base Cat 1 when hit here. Can't imagine a major storm.
