Reports of Hurricane Irma impact - trees down and scattered power outages so far - please do not take risk sightseeing.

I am posting some examples of damage coming in.  Please - we are on the building side of the storm, far from experiencing maximum effects.  

9:00 AM. I was advised by MDFR Fire Chief Dave Downey that Station 62 has relocated temporarily to Station 50.  This is precautionary.  Station 62 is currently housed in the temporary trailer with the actual unit housed only under a canopy.  Station 50 is near Village Hall - and is a permanent hardened Fire Rescue Station.  Unit 62 remains available to service all Palmetto Bay (including Northeast corner), south Pinecrest, etc.  

10:00 AM. There are reports of some areas experiencing power outages.   

Ongoing tree damage (photo to right) : Looks like 84th Av south of 176 st is blocked by a large tree that fell. Photo courtesy Malbrook Resident.

Prior (below) photos of a snapped light tree that fell safely on a neighbor's driveway.  No damage, no risk to traffic.
 
The photos posted illustrate why it is not safe to be outside at the present time.
