I have a lot to do to prepare for Irma tomorrow but here are a couple of sources of information that describe the storm and its likely impacts. Also check my Facebook feed for SEAgClimate for additional information from other sources. Note the wide area of tropical storm force winds in the map below–that’s what we are in for tomorrow in Georgia.  Stay safe!
