Hurricane Irma

[Mr. EPCOT]

That looks like one of the Jacarandas that went down at Epcot. Not so easy replacing that to size I wouldn't think.

Good opportunity for them to put the palm trees back there instead! :thumbsup:

Resorts bridge by Epcot seems to be the worst physical damage so far.

Curfew still in place.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR RESORTS. Pretty simple y'all

How'd Universal hold up during everything?

Epcot itself isn't looking too hot - mostly flooding and trees.

Yes, mother I took the pics before I knew there was a curfew in place. I thought it was a "use good judgement" situation.

It's hard to know as I haven't seen anyone post from there and unless you were staying at one of their hotels, you aren't supposed to be on property anyway.

These are all I've seen so far. Looks about the same as elsewhere: Fallen tress and associated minimal damage

Glad to see most still posting on here, sincerely hoping everyone else is still safe. My boyfriend and I did decide to evacuate with his family, and we are still out of state.

I am concerned about everyone closer to those areas which flooded, like Jacksonville - this thing was much better than it could have been but it looks like its

Of course getting to Orlando remains a challenge - MCO not reopened yet, roads a challenge, and airlines scrambling to get all their equipment back in the right places!

I took these about 10-15 mins ago. I forgot to take video so just went back and took some. Someone on a golf cart went inside. Entrances and gates are now open.

Look at those unthemed mickey head hurricane covers!!!

I am done with WDW forever. TDO's cheapness has reached my limit!

Im good. Lost power at 4am. Still no power, and even worse, no cell service. (On my girlfriend's phone.)

We had a lot of tree branches to clean up today in our yard but luckily no home damage.

Will be out if touch until power or cell service comes back, whichever comes first. Hope everyone is safe!
