You'll be okay. My daughter lives in Davenport, right off of the 27 in Polk County. They've lost power but her house and all windows are still intact.This is scaring me. We are at AKL.
AoA building 7 the fire alarm is currently going off. Whoever answered the phone says it's a mistake and they're waiting for the fire department. Been going off for almost 10 minutes now.
Thank you so much for the updates! Tv keeps going in and out and this helps tremendously!

Hurricane Irma has shifted its path once again and the eye of the storm is heading for Orlando with sustained winds of 100 mph.
Orlando is on the northeast side of the storm, which is where the worst weather is. Tropical storm force winds are extending [425] from the center of the storm.
Tornadoes have been touching down all over the area and at least 50,000 people in the Orlando area are without power.
Across Florida there are currently 3.4 million homes without power. There has been one fatality reported in the Orlando/Orange County area, when a woman driving on State Road 417 just before the 7:00 p.m. curfew went into effect hit a guardrail and was killed.
Mayor Teresa Jacobs is advising residents to “please stay indoors. Stay in the safest place of your home until we get through this storm.”
