HURRICANE Irene was updated from tropical storm status as of the 5 AM National Hurricane Center advisory Monday, August 22.
Tracking models from many sources, including our own, are showing a south Florida landfall starting as early as this Thursday evening, August 25th.
All persons living in the entire state of Florida as well as coastal Georgia, should make preparations for this Hurricane and monitor your local official NHC and media advisories.
This will be a dangerous storm as it approaches southern Florida from the southeast. Many persons have read about the devastating 1935 Labor Day Hurricane that hit southern Florida and the Florida Keys that killed over 400 persons. Modern satellite monitoring and early warnings can prevent those types of fatalities IF citizens pay attention, follow the orders of local Emergency Management Agencies and do what they are told to do regarding evacuations and other life saving orders.
We will post additional details as necessary.
