Hurricane Irma waves knock down man in Key West A Florida web camera captured dramatic footage of the moment one Key West sightseer felt the sheer force of Hurricane Irma on Saturday, September 9. The video shows a wave washing over the wall at Key West’s Southernmost Point landmark knocking the man off his feet. Twitter users also shared several other clips showing other sightseers, who defied warnings from state officials to evacuate the Keys before the Category 3 storm made landfall.

You know it's serious when there are zero Floridians advertising hurricane parties on Facebook.

1 of my co workers dreams was to retire to the keys and eventually run a charter fishing business. He moved down 3 months ago, trailored his boat from Boston to his new home in big pine key last month. He evacuated to family in the Carolinas so I know he's see, but I hope he doesn't lose it all (or anyone for that matter, but he's my only personal connection to the area)

I live in key west. I talked to my mom today and it was heartbreaking. Everything they couldn't take to Orlando, like my car for instance, is still there and likely destroyed. Feels shitty

Edit: thank you for all the support. I felt like crying a lot today and this made me feel better. Much love to the people of Reddit
