Hurricane Irma Update 6

Power still on.

It was very windy all night. Light rain constantly.

I heard a few sirens coming from the closest main street, so the winds are obviously not too high yet because emergency personnel stop responding when the wind gets about 40 mph.

As of Google Weather's current prediction, it shows 39 mph hour winds at 10am today. It's 9:43am right now and it doesn't seem to be that strong. The gusts might be that strong. But I'd say the current average wind is more like 15-20 mph. It does say current wind is 24 mph, which is close to my estimation. It shows we will reach a top wind speed of 65 mph at about 10pm tonight. Google's not always correct, but it would at least give us an idea.

Wind:



It shows 100% chance of rain until about 11pm. That's probably pretty close to correct.

Rain:


Mynews13.com future radar shows no more rain once Monday morning comes, through Tuesday. It is expected that by 2pm Monday, there won't be a rain drop falling in the county:



That's it for now. We still may lose power. This afternoon and night is supposed to be the worst of it. We'll see how it goes!

Keep praying for anyone and everyone affected by the hurricane.

Love you all!

Lisha and Kyle

Hurricane Irma Update 9

Our internet seems to be officially not working anymore. Our power keeps going off and on. It's not likely we'll have power much longer. I'm now posting via my phone using data. Updates will be short from now on. We're still safe at home. Love and peace, Lisha and Kyle

Hurricane Irma Update 10

We're all back to normal now (except our phones seems to be having some minor issues, so I'm not sure if that's hurricane related or not... probably a bit). We got internet last night. Too tired to post anything. We finished the majority of our yard work and outside work yesterday, in the heat of the sun. We lost power for only 22 hours (5:30pm Sunday to 3:30pm Monday), so that was nice ðŸ˜Š Water has been working the entire time, but it may not be safe to drink, which is fine. We still have tons of water, and we have a really good water filter and we can also boil water if we need to. We were lucky. Some really crazy things happened, including a tornado in Palm Bay ( and a few in other areas). Bad flooding in some areas, but the areas we've driven around in Palm Bay seem fine. Melbourne has more flooding. I think the very worst damage was actually caused by tornadoes. Old gas stations seemed to get very bad damage. New gas stations are all fancy so they...

Hurricane Irma Update 7

Our power is now flickering some of the time. It is very dark, so we have our lights on and the lights were flickering when the strong winds came. Our power held up... for now. So it's very likely we will lose power at some point. We sometimes lose power in normal storms, so I would not be surprised if we lost power in this storm. Here's some footage I took at about 11:40am (at about 0:44 seconds I have to move back from the screen because a large gust of wind came blowing in a bunch of rain, etc): And another video about a minute later: Very windy gusts, misty rain flying everywhere (as I said before, videos don't really do it justice). Our backyard has a nice lake in it now (which we've experienced before). The weather feels very cool, colder outside than inside (usually it's cooler inside because air conditioning). It has calmed down now. The conditions change moment by moment. Here's another video I took at 12:00pm in our front yard: ...
