Hurricane Irma...

[Blizzard]

Ladies and gentlemen, whoever was today's pilot on DL431 with service to San Juan has some huge balls. From Flightradar 24's Twitter feed earlier:

The comments in that Twitter feed are some of the funniest I've read in a while. Good stuff.

FWIW, one of the comments in that Twitter showed a weather report (METAR) from SJU at the time with winds of only 11kts with gusts to 20. Not too bad actually.

You forgot that the state is shaped like a handgun, so the NRA is at fault too!

This no good: U.S. Virgin Islands spent money intended to help after hurricanes

Well, our anniversary plans seem to have gone to shit. We were supposed to be landing Ft Lauderdale on Tuesday. All we need is a beach, some sun and a place to sleep. Hopefully it will still happen. We are still planning on retiring down there next year.

Maybe they took advisement from the Clinton Foundation

No beach and no sun here right now. Monsoon season. But you guys are still welcome to head this way.

I've got two young brothers in law, that are being willfully ignorant in Homestead. I'm hoping this is nothing like Katrina...

Stay safe brothers and sisters!

I find it interesting , the local news here in KC MO says our utility service personnel are Rollin' out to assist Florida utilities personnel. So I'm guessing, Utilities may be down in the south. Sucks that the state is 6-9hr drive north to south on a nice day and may take longer to fix once the storms pass.

Katrina was a weak hurricane. They said this was more massive than Andrew.

Looks like going up the west coast....bad for my sister in law in Venice...she decided to ride it out.
