Now watch this video to see how this Hotel ended up like this (Scary)

Beach Plaza Hotel on St. Martin video

Remind me never to sit on the ground floor of a hotel lobby during a Hurricane.

That was my question. I guess they just load it all up a barge.

I know....right. INB4 the first, WHEN IS THIS GONNA TURN WEST INTO THE GOM, all the models are wrong. so they just RA and whine like 's and somehow if the thread gets cleaned up they will be rightious Jim Cantore's reporting from maw maws house that IT WILL GO INTO THE GOM without one shed of evidence...

Thanks man.

I offered to fly her to NY or La. but she wouldn't go.

So she is with her sister (whom she lives with) at her son's home in Orlando. I suspect I will be driving down next week with a UHAUL, generator, supplies etc. Honestly I'd rather it gets wiped out than heavily damaged because then I cold convince her to come here.

That's a miracle if it missed Miami all together


I know the new structures are built to some unbelievable code but I bet all those old art deco building would take a beating. Hope Irma just goes fishing.

A dropsonde is kinda like a weather balloon except in the opposite direction. Plane drops it and it goes down by parachute and sends data back to the plane about wind speed pressure etc

Is there a spaghetti model that "averages" all the models?


I think it's the large black line mixed in with the rest of them.

Can you imagine how hard it is going to be to get construction materials out there? Given how remote these locations are and the amount Houston and Florida will suck up... it is going to be a hell of a logistics nightmare.

Personally the smart thing to do would be to get all the fuel and shite out of them and sink them and make a artificial reef.

See now that I hadn't thought of ... I mean there's no Lowe's or HD around the corner I guess. This sucks on so many levels BUT I'm truly thankful for those who are safe and alive.
