The scariest thing to me is how you can see the water levels change rapidly.

Whoa, very nice time lapse and its cool, VERY COOL. Bu I hope everyone is Okay.

I see some VERY insensitive people leaving comments like: "Wow, that was disappointing." "Not a very powerful hurricane."

Um, excuse me....Kindly do just a few seconds of research to check out the damage caused in different areas, such as the Caribbean islands like Barbuda, St. Martin, St. Croix and Antigua which were DEVASTATED due to this storm. Irma did not do extensive damage to Florida since it was a weaker storm than when it was ploughing through the Caribbean, but it still caused a lot of flooding and some structural damage to places like Key West.

As someone who went through two terrible hurricanes BACK-TO-BACK (Frances and Jeanne in 04), I would kindly ask all of you who are shrugging this off as 'no big deal' to take MANY SEATS and silence yourself. Your ignorance is shining at an alarming level and it really doesn't look appealing at all

It seems kinda harmless to me, but it's probably insane if you are there.

[audieliem]

THANK GOD It's so much weaker than when it hits the Carribean

Can you imagine the damage of St Martin in the much denser Florida?

[CDelly]

Whose here after Hurricane Milton and Helene

[odiethecat]

What's strange is that bad weather is always at night but not at day

[Rifle]

Not that deep compared to the atrocities in Burma.

[tvold]

Irma actually never hit miami these were outer bands

[MS-dipf]

I'm italian and I never experienced hurricanes or tornadoes. Even if I don't quite get why people would want to live in areas such as florida or tornado alley I must admit that, in my thought, this people are the bravest. I could simply never and I admire ya all.

[Sawyerdagoat-yp]

I live in St Pete where it was a Cat 2 but the surge was not as bad as I expected

[marinehans]
