The Grumpus Posted September 8, 2017 #1103 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Marine Traffic shows an armada of ships heading southwest right now, big ships, little ships and all kinds of boats, all fleeing the storm, pretty neat.

married man Posted September 8, 2017 #1106 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) It was asked a way back if anyone is refusing to evacuate the Keys, the complete 10 person staff, and their 56 polydactylic cats, are staying behind in the Hemmingway House Museum located on Key West.. It is located 16 feet above the Atlantic, and is made of 18 inch thick limestone blocks. I hope there are survivors.

FloridaPalms Posted September 8, 2017 #1107 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I'm on the west coast of Florida, north of Tampa near Crystal River. I gassed up my car Tuesday afternoon, when the lines were only two cars deep at each pump. Those short lines were short lived. Lots of people were filling up gas cans. This wasn't impulse buying fueled by media. This was storm preparedness as that gas would be needed to run generators if power went out. By Thursday, most local stations were out but the few that had gas had lines that just went on and on. Northbound US-19 was slow-moving bumper to bumper with the exodus from southwestern Floridians who used it as an alternative to clogged I-75. I understand it was still backed up this morning but don't know latest. And now, with Irma's more westerly track, things are looking worse for this coast. But there is no certainty with Irma so everyone who hasn't got out of Dodge (ALL of Florida) needs to keep watch. Stay safe. Prayers. ~ Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that they disembarked and was told to find a way home. Carnival Victory got in last night and told people they had to be off in morning. I don't think they allows guests to choose to stay on. Not sure what they did with b2b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they allows guests to choose to stay on. Not sure what they did with b2b The Sept.8 cruise was cancelled, so I assume the B2B had to also get off as there was no next segment anymore.

St Thomas is heavily damaged but the Havensight port area seems intact. That doesn't mean they'll be taking ships anytime soon. Still, the island isn't destroyed, per se, not in the Barbuda sense. https://videopress.com/v/kjHPP3lg Last I read a lot of Puerto Rico was without power.

Getting out there Posted September 9, 2017 #1115 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Someone who lives in San Juan posted in the PR forum that everything is ok there. I haven't heard anything about St. Thomas. How do you know if docked ports will be changed to tender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all went west to avoid the hurricane.
