Looks like a solid Category 4 Hurricane when it hits the coast.

This is a scary storm. I was in FL during Matthew, which was not only weaker but also traveled north off the coast, and I remember the damage caused by that. Lots of down trees, power outages, road blockages, flooding, etc.

Irma is both stronger and projected to make a direct hit. Stay safe, everyone.

Yeah, Matthew was a baby.  Never even lost power, and played golf 2 days later.

This one worries me a bit...

I've seen photos of St John, USVI, an island I am very familiar with. They didn't get a direct hit but are devastated. This storm is extremely dangerous. Stay safe. Houses and cars can be replaced, lives cannot.

Here's hoping the impact remaining is less than they're projecting. Stay safe.

To all impacted: drop a note here when things get calm again to let us know how you and your neighborhoods fared.

Til then, you'll all be in our thoughts and prayers as you tend to your family, friends, neighbors, and belongings. Good luck!

Yeah. It's looking pretty ugly. I flew back down from Ohio Thursday to secure the house. I've prepped as much as I can. Stay safe everyone!

She is starting to make her turn north. It has weakened a bit, but will likely strengthen quickly once over open water.

Stock up on non-perishable food items my ass...

Seared sea scallops (those 3 weigh in at over 1/2 lb), nicely rare ribeye with butter poached sweet peppers, salad, and and a nice Napa Cab.  :-)

Exactly!  We have plenty of non perishables, but those are for after if we don't have power.  Right now we are eating well and enjoying a little wine.  If SHTF I still have two NY Strips and a filet from Allen Brothers to cook up on the charcoal grill (among other things).  Good luck out your way.

Ok, Irma has turned toward you from what I see. Irma wants some of that ribeye. She also doesn't like your taunting apparently.

Let's hope she loses steam as she moves inland.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
