IRMA - The Blue Shed was Battle Born

Soggy Dollar Bar Virgin Islands - Blue Shed Battle Born!

IRMA hits the U.S. off the shores of Key West Florida, so it's time to surf the cams and it's Godspeed to the Shed!  For me, the Carver is running hot blasting Two Steps From Hell, Battlecry (full album) through the Klipsch Cornwalls.  9 tabs open on the desktop, 4 are live cams from Key West, one is monitoring Windy.com with 73 kt winds blowing on the island straits and the storm surge has started.  By 6:00 am EDT Sunday the outer eyewall will arrive with 107 kt (123 mph) winds.  Once IRMA sails from the Keys she picks up some more strength and will grind up the west coast of Florida, Fort Myers is in for a hard blow with gust over 122 kts. (140 mph)

Damn, in the time writing this I already lost 2 cams!  6 were available!

The souls who have decided to stay for the Hurricane arrival in Florida, are the Stormkeepers, with the Shed in their hearts, for she is Battle Born!

Godspeed!

Key West Live Cams @ 11:52 PM EDT Florida Key Cams Wiped!

Rightside Broadcasting Network  (IRMA hitting Florida Keys, Miami and Naples this was a 12hr broadcast)  Nothing but streams and updates from the web with Steve Lookner as your anchor accessing the public's feed, boots on the ground.  The new media in news, excellent broadcasting Steve!

Live Footage of IRMA Destroying The Caribbean 

Hurricane Irma left a trail of absolute devastation in Barbuda, St Barts and St Maarten. This remarkable footage was compiled by The Two Preachers.

 

IRMA Removes the Water from Long Island Bahamas Beach

The force of the hurricane pulls the water away from the shoreline temporally.
Known today as 'Wind Induced Setback' is the exact opposite of Storm Surge.  The counterclockwise force of the headwinds over the top of the hurricane pulls the water away from bay areas.  When the backside of the winds of the hurricane roll in, she brings that displace water with her!  'Storm Surge'  

That theory makes sense but Setback is mostly discussed with construction of buildings on the coastal waters to avoid storm surge.  Some bays around the world have been emptied with no storm present, this event occurred in Brazil.  Is this the 'South American Roll' where the plates shift?  Gravitational pull of the moon causes the tides, how is it's orbit doing?  The Inuit elders who live in Canadian Arctic, Greenland, Siberia and Alaska, warn us about the Earth's axis. 

We've seen footage of people walking around the receded water of Tampa Bay shoreline. Has any Floridian film this phenomenon before 2017?

The young man in the video below explains how he came upon this phenomenon. "I was on my way to see if there was any damage to my business and decided to check my friend's house for damages," the person who recorded the video said. 

"There is no more ocean!  As far as the eye can see."
