Hurricane Irma

I think some of those islands are so small, a lot of the water goes around.
Is there a chance that the island tipped over in all that wind, it's not very wide
What the crap model chart am I looking at then??
Can you link me to what you're using? Thanks!
If they were "at sea level" they wouldn't be an island. They have to be a few feet above to be an island. An 8' storm surge can completely inundate some of the smaller ones. You see that in the videos where cars are floating down the street.
Also, the wind could have just pushed it over the edge.
No sir, that's what Antarctica is for.
Pour some water in pan and stick a rock that protrudes out of the water some in the middle. Push the water in the front toward the rock, and most of the wave will go around the sides.
Who remembers tracking hurricanes on the sides of brown bags from Publix?
Growing up in P.C., I tracked more cyclones with pencil & map than I can remember.
They made us track every one of them and turn it in daily in elementary school.
Dihydrogen monoxide? That stuff is lethal.
Who remembers not even knowing there was a hurricane approaching until it was a day away and you just dealt with it?
Must be his location, or if you booked directly through them. I have a few booked with Comfort that had free cancellations until 3 days after booking.
This is why most of the keys have structures built on stilts. My brother's place, when he lived there in the 90's, was 100 percent concrete. Concrete stilts, floor, walls, even the roof. His house was no different than the rest of his neighborhood. The neighbors all get together down there, tie boats off in the middle of the canals with plenty of slack to handle the surge, move vehicles to the highest ground possible, put up their shutters and hunker down.
The keys will likely be back in business day after the hurricane passes, maybe two days, with the exception of power. They might be better off now that they have a power plant in the southern keys but it's doubtful.
Welp. That's not good for anyone. What happened to that front?!

Well this is certainly different and would devastating to the whole state if it came to pass.
Dang. Just ran out of Miami to get home (got in around 3 this am) and it looks like we will be impacted in Tally.
