skinfan2k Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I am following the twitter feed of the school he attends down there. Based on their feed, everything is alright. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still waiting to hear from a lot of people. I hope he's alright. St Thomas got hit as badly as STM did. We're still under curfew, but already putting together supplies for other islands and getting boats ready to sail. There has never been a storm like this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey KB, Glad that you are okay. Any word on "St Blackout?" I haven't heard anything from any of my friends over there. And obviously any communication is going to be spotty. I'm just curious how my little slice of heaven (Cruz Bay) survived. I heard a rumor that the eye passed just off of Coral Bay. If true, I am sure that St John is pretty messed up. Stay safe bro.

Everyone with a boat is loading supplies today to bring over and bring people back. Don't know the fatality numbers yet. It's horrific. I've heard a concerningly small amount from STJ. All those islands are gone, man. ****ing gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the pics of White Bay on JVD and about cried. Some of those places are legendary (Foxy's, Ivan's, SDB, One Love). I cant wait for them to get back on their feet. As for STJ, I did get a text from one of my buddy's that confirmed what i thought (Cruz Bay pretty messed up. but no casualties so far). Said that the curfew should be lifted around 6, so they will be able to work their way around the island. Still no word from Coral Bay though. How are things in your neck? I read somewhere that the STT airport may reopen on Monday (pending what Jose decides to do). I was thinking about hopping a flight and helping out, but I leave for NYC (work) next week. 2 days wouldn't be enough. Maybe when I get back I'll reach out to the Red Cross and see what I can do to assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to start bringing people here (STX) and finding places for them. Carnival is sending in ships for people to stay on. This is insane.

airborneskins Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Yeah. I have a hammock and mosquito net. Don't really need a place, just looking to help. But that is crazy that carnival is sending in ships. Good on them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything just lined up for disaster. Most people didn't believe me, until a few days before. Just kept saying it'll go north. This is the most powerful hurricane in the alantics history and it's terrifying. My island completely dodged a nuclear bomb, not a bullet. I know people like to go overboard on destruction but as someone who basically grew up studying hurricanes and twisters like a obsession my biggest worry was other hurricane hits the heart of the keys putting Miami in the right front or it hitting the gulf where it would turn into a bomb. Needless it's taking one of my bad paths. And there's nothing but warns waters between Cuba and Florida. My comment early this morning with my weather friend on social media was if the track shifted west you are looking at massive destruction. Keys absolutely destroyed. Now everyone is coming back like that is what they are predicting now. Wish I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 What's this I hear about Hurricane Jose out there behind Irma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 So the big islands it's about to hit will have a negligible effect on it's strength, may still be a Cat 5 when it hits FL. Cat 4/Cat3 as it rolls up the FL/GA coast. The fact that the eye will be off shore, gives this sucker more fuel than if it ran up the FL urethra like it was forecasted yesterday. ****in' hell, the islands are ****ed. Hoping the casualties are minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I fully expect complete destruction in the Islamorada/Largo area plus bridge failure. It's gonna take years for the area to fully recover. I have an old buddy who's gonna ride it out in downtown Key West on the second floor of his office. He's a tough, crusty dude.
