Irma is Coming (and Jose is not too far behind) - Page 17 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Jeff Piotrowski is back at it again live.. Expecting to take direct hit from the eyewall just like he did in Rockport Texas. Guy is crazy as ****

He's expecting 120+ winds in 5 minutes or so. He's currently located 15 miles south of Naples FL

Thanks for this, I've been watching CNN live streams for days. This is way better.

LOL at some random woman just shouting at him for driving around and him saying she was a druggy freak.

@ biggerboat: Sorry if it's been mentioned in the thread but why didn't you leave/evacuate?

Local weatherman is saying it has been maintaining an almost due north path at 12 mph long enough that it "should" keep going north. That will keep it on land from now on and go further east of st. Pete. He still thinks it will be a 2 when it gets here. He is still thinking we will have the highest winds we have ever seen here.

It's a live stream from a phone in the eye of a hurricane.. What where you expecting?

Hes recording the storm on 4k equipment as well but obviously isn't streaming that live. That's how he makes his money.

Yeah it did get really bad before he went offline.lts normally grainy but not as bad as it was at the end.

Here's an alternate live stream. Not sure where they are located. Sorry about Facebook links.. I hate it myself.

Several sources confirming wind of 131 in Naples at landfall. That would mean it was a cat4 at landfall. Curious if they will change it from cat 3

Weather Channel guy standing outside in Naples is crazy. They've been on him for 20 straight. Eye is coming.

It needs to be sustained winds, doesn't it? I have no idea how that is defined.

I can't really get any more good pics from the balcony anymore. The rain is blowing straight into the windows now. This is as good as it gets. Water still receding. Waves getting higher.

Ugh, water coming in through the windows. Not horrible but another thing to deal with.

Winds guts just measured at 142 mph at Naples airport. (I assume gusts but it's not clear. edit - was gusts.)

NWS still predicting gusts over 140 mph for Tampa Bay.
