These Tweets from Florida As Hurricane Irma Hits Will Put You Right Into The Storm

Official entities don't often issue warnings with quite so much in caps lock, but when it's one of the strongest storms ever recorded, normalcy goes out the window.

This looks pretty much like a normal rainy, windy day, but it was taken well before the stronger parts of the storm started rolling in.

This tweet probably came from a place farther north in Florida, where the whipping winds haven't quite made it yet. But if you've ever had a dog, you know that they often have a sixth sense about approaching bad weather.

This is far from what baby John's mother must have wanted for him on his first birthday, but at least he's safe.

Even if you don't know what exactly low pressure means in a storm, it's pretty clear that high wind gusts are not a good thing.

Some people had to make some heartbreaking choices in order to save their families, because the hurricane literally left them with nothing else that they could do.

It's literally been almost a century since the Florida Keys experienced anything like this.

Unfortunately, it's going to be a while before the winds give up.

That does not look good.

Plantation, Florida, is near Fort Lauderdale, on the other side of the state from where the eye is predicted to go — but it's still not been spared the wind so far.

You'd think that in this kind of weather, viewers would understand why their weatherman couldn't report from on the ground.

Falling trees have the potential to severely damage houses and cars, as many of them will simply be unable to withstand the storm's power.

With rising water and powerful waves, any docked boats never had a chance of surviving the storm intact.

Although the storm is now taking a more westerly path, Florida's eastern half will not be spared.

It's going to be hours before Florida gets any relief.

Anyone still in the Florida Keys is in serious danger, and their loved ones are seriously feeling it.

This might not look like much, but just remember that St. Augustine is almost 500 miles away from Key West, up on Florida's eastern coast.

It has to be some strong wind to make the palm trees bend that way.

Boca Raton is that far north of Miami, and it's good to see that people are paying attention to the curfew still in effect.

Irma is literally so strong that it sucked the ocean water away from the Bahamas — and now all of that is coming towards Florida.

This is not how those streets usually look.

You can only hope that there's not a person behind that camera.

That is some extremely powerful looking water.

They don't call the storm surge the most dangerous part of the storm for no reason.

It's going to be a long day in Miami.

Storm chasers seriously have their work cut out for them today, as this video makes quite clear.

This is why they ordered all of the evacuations.

Now that Irma's eyewall has just hit the Florida Keys, there are bound to be more and more tweets like this that will let you follow along. For the people tweeting, of course, the primary concern should always be staying as safe as possible.
