Hurricane Irma
I am due to fly to Miami this Wednesday (6th Sept) on the VS005 and back again on the VS006 on the 18th.
I’m initially staying in North Beach Miami for the first 4 nights moving to Fort Lauderdale for the remaining 8.
I am becoming increasingly concerned about the chance of Hurricane Irma hitting South Florida while I am there.
Currently there are no warnings not to travel but all the local weather forecasts I have seen are all very cautious and indicating there may be trouble.
The general consensus I get is that firmer news/forecasts will be available Wednesday but by this time I could well be on the way to Miami.
Am I right to be worried?
What do I do if the Hurricane does strike (We have no car for the first four days)?
Should I cancel the trip? Both Virgin and my travel insurance are saying until there is official advice I would lose the cost of my flights and accommodation.
I would not want to be in the area if there is a Hurricane and am worried about flights being cancelled and unable to get home.
Your thoughts or personal experience would be welcome.
