Live: Hurricane Irma

In Port Charlotte, Florida, Deirdre Morrow is bracing to ride out the storm with her mother in a three-story concrete condo that they were supposed to evacuate, but didn't because the lines at local shelters on Saturday were four-hours long.
Morrow's plan is to hunker in the hallway on the second floor during the worst intensity of the storm, then race upstairs to be as high as possible when the storm surge rushes in.“I’m really freaked out,” said Morrow, 47. She moved to a recreation room on the third floor, but strong gusts of wind started rattling the windows, while a light rain fell outside.She found an easy chair in the hallway and decided to try sitting there with her cats.“I am personally more worried about the storm surge than I am the winds,” she said. “I think it will be terrifying. I think we will probably feel like it is going to crash down around our ears.”(Reporting by Letitia Stein) -
