We just stayed at the campground today and kept track of the updates on Hurricane Irma.
This morning she made landfall on Cudjoe Key as a Category 4 with 130 mph winds. There was a report that a 106 mph gust was recorded at the National Key Deer Refuge on Big Pine - we would see them all the time at Fletcher's house there when we went to visit. Sure hope they come out OK.
Then this afternoon Irma was down to a Cat 3 with 120 mph winds and headed towards Naples and Marco Island. By 6:00 tonight she is down to a Category 2 with winds of 110 mph. They think that Irma will weaken even more after this next landfall and as she travels up the west coast of Florida.
Because Irma's track has changed from going up the East Coast and is now going up the West Coast, we're wondering if we're going to feel any effect from the storm as it gets closer to northern Florida.
