http://abcnews.go.com/US/irma-death-toll-us-rises-11-florida-keys/story?id=49758372
http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/12/us/irma-damage-aftermath/index.html

11 confirmed dead in the US
An estimated 25% of homes in the keys are destroyed; 65% are partially damaged
6.7 million people without power across five state.
I think the total death count for Irma so far is around 48 people (37 outside of US + 11 in the US)

I hope everyone is okay. We were lucky in Miami as we dodged a bullet. I only lost cable + internet, but it's been restored.

Yup, hitting Cuba first really helpes. I knew the Keys were screwed but I was very doubtful we'e be in terrible trouble here in Miami.

Weston'd a really nice area so everything's underground. Didn't expect you guys to deal with much.

yeah, we're really fortunate. only had a few roof tiles fall off and our lake rose several feet. no damage at all aside from that
my dad is up in the gainesville to st augustine area and he's looking like he'll be without power for a couple weeks

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you.

It could have been really bad if it didn't stay over Cuba for so long. I don't get why the media gets so much shit over dangerous weather that can change at the drop of a hat. Better to be safe than sorry.

That's how it was in Texas with Rita in 2005. Big ass hurricane was coming, and Katrina had just hit like a couple weeks before that in Louisiana. So many people were freaked. Many people tried to evacuate, and actually died from evacuating and being stuck in traffic too long, but the hurricane hardly did anything, surprisingly, because it was a cat 5.
