Yeah be safe everybody, we are going under shuttered lock down in the Riverview, FL area tomorrow.
Just FYI I found out the Apple Stores are closing in the Tampa area at 3PM Friday. So if you need your Mac/iPhone serviced better do it on Friday. They are reopening on Tuesday AM.
At first the center line of the forecast cone put the eye literally right over my house.. now as of the 5pm update it's taking a more westerly trajectory and appears it will make a direct impact on Naples.
It can still swing east and come right through Homestead/Miami/Ft Lauderdale but it appears to be heading more and more west.
Wish all you guys the best.. People in Naples be prepared and bunker down, us over here on the east coast are still holding our breaths, just a few hours ago we were in the center of the storms path now we're in the far right projection of the forecast cone but that could easily change once Irma begins it's northern climb.
in case you guys don't know most of the local stations have their own apps for Android and Apple.. if you lose power you can still follow the local news live on your phone. Personally I use the wsvn Hurricane Tracker app.. and I will be pinned to my devices awaiting the 11pm advisory. Again, good luck to you all, see you when it's over.
