    If you can do two camels and a goat, a llama should be pretty doable.

    I can't help but think that any pet owner who would recklessly tie their pet to a tree before evacuating this storm, probably don't treat their pets very well, on average. No loving pet owner is going to tie their pet to a tree for any reason.

    We're supposed to get the remnants of Irma tonight but the weather is already pretty yucky and winds are starting to pick up

    And yeah I don't really understand tying your pets up, just..why? If you dont care enough to take them why not at least turn them loose so they can seek higher ground in case of flooding

    One of our neighbors had a big pine split and break. It missed the house and hit the work shed.

    We aren't even in the worst of it yet.

    Yikes that's terrifying. We have some big trees looming over our house, I think we're going to camp out in the one bedroom that is in a corner of the house without a tree hovering over it

    We have them so close and so big that there's not a safe place in our house.

    Ten thousand in my county without power. Lots of reports of trees blocking roadways.

    It's so weird but most of the homes north of Tampa in my area seemed okay. I went outside to walk around my neighborhood and it looks like literally nothing happened and we have power.

    Sending good thoughts to GA and AL who are experiencing Irma. It looked like Jacksonville wasn't prepared for this ugh :(

    It's not too bad until it gusts. Ham radio reported a 52 mph gust near by.

    The hurricane is on its way out but now all these coastal areas have to deal with flooding

    We're getting some strong wind gusts here.

    Downtown Charleston is flooded, the IOP is flooded. The Folly Beach boat washed away. I know no one knows what I'm talking about but I love that damn boat

    Are you guys ^^ prepared for this storm?? There was such a focus on Florida for Irma, I'm wondering if any other areas were told to prepare?

    It's 6:30 pm here. We're going to get maximum wind gusts until midnight and rain until 8 pm tomorrow night.

    Trees are down all over Metro Atlanta. Huge numbers without power.
