So far lots of heavy winds and rain, intermittent power outages...

Once it's out of the Caribbean, predictions have it headed to Florida

1. Grrrr.

Even Miami will be soaked. Worst timing.

[HipChick]

2. Hope it does not gather strength as it works it's way up the Islands chain

[jimfields33]

4. I definitely hope Not too.

3. If you could put up your shutters just once for the whole season it wouldn't be so bad.

But local ordinances prohibits this as an eyesore as well as a fire hazard.

It costs us 300 to install and 300 to remove each time because I’m just too old w no ladders to reach 2nd story windows anyway. I really don’t have the funds for 600 bucks each occurrence either.

😖 Grrrr…

5. I know. HOA would never allow it

I wanted too a few years ago. My neighbors were like think again. Lol.

9. Let's just hope this thing somehow dies down or turns.

Because right now we’re in (Dramatic music) … The Cone of Death!

10. Yep. Hate this.

6. Haiti.

Haiti is already damned with widespread cholera and corona virus. The hurricane is predicted to directly strike the country.

7. A hurricane heading towards DeSantis is Karma.

Sucks for those in Surfside.

Let's hope Elsa blows Mar-a-Lago a good one. I can dream. Add more misery to the Orange one's not-so-good week.

11. Yeah what about the 49 percent of the democratic population

And trumps place is not even near the hit. It’s western Florida along with central Florida and Jacksonville. At least at this point.

8. Maybe South Carolina governor will regret sending his national guard to Tx for an imaginary crisis

12. Hurricane Elsa latest: Possible paths include Surfside

Hurricane Elsa, the first of the Atlantic season, could take many paths when it reaches the United States, from the East Coast to the Gulf Coast to Florida -- including Surfside, where rescue operations are ongoing.

Elsa is over St. Lucia Friday morning after blowing through Barbados, where it brought wind gusts of 86 mph.

A hurricane warning has been issued for Haiti, where heavy rain, flash flooding and rough winds are expected when Elsa charges in Saturday afternoon, likely as a Category 1 hurricane.

By Sunday night into Monday, Elsa will pass over Cuba as a tropical storm with heavy rain, flash flooding and 65 mph winds.

13. Let it Blow... Let it Blow

Don't hold it back anymore!
Let it blow, let it blow,
Let the wind rip off your door!
I don't care what the NOAA Says,
Let the storm rage on!
'Cause wind never bothered me anyway.
