Hurricane Irma! originally published on Food and Fond Memories on September 7, 2017 by sandy axelrod Leave a Comment (Edit)

Hurricane Irma’s projected path of destruction

Hurricane Irma!

Hurricane Irma is threatening South Florida and will be here in a couple of days. My husband, puppy and I are evacuating to stay safe and avoid dealing with lack of electricity and water. We are heading back to Raleigh to stay with our son and daughter in love. After 35 years of living here we have been through this many times, but this is the first time we are actually leaving! Please forgive me for not posting. I will have a lot to catch you up on when we are able to return home.

In the meantime, I hope all of you in the path of this vicious storm stay safe. Possessions are easy to replace. Lives are not replaceable!!! I saw how devastating Katrina, Wilma, Sandy and Harvey were. Let’s pray that doesn’t happen again with Irma.

Update

Hurricane Irma hit Florida as a Category 4 storm the morning of Sept. 10, 2017, ripping off roofs, flooding coastal cities, and knocking out power to more than 6.8 million people. By Sept. 11, Irma weakened significantly to a tropical storm as it powered north toward Georgia and Alabama. At 11 p.m. later that day, it weakened further to a tropical depression, and by Sept. 13, it had dissipated over western Tennessee.

Irma is the fifth-costliest hurricane to hit the mainland United States, causing an estimated $50 billion in damage, according to the National Hurricane Center.
