When a record-shattering hurricane is Germany Archivesheaded toward your city, you listen to local officials and weather experts to prepare for the worst.
SEE ALSO: National Hurricane Center's headquarters is in Irma's path—but it's built to take a hitBut what if you are the people behind the warnings and advice? That's what the more than 60 scientists, meteorologists, specialists, forecasters, and staff at the National Hurricane Center in Miami are dealing with as Hurricane Irma approaches the city where the center is based.
National Hurricane Center spokesman Dennis Feltgen said from the center that employees are planning for Irma's arrival -- expected for Sunday morning -- like everyone else. The NHC has a hurricane plan in place and it's in effect. Employees will have food, water, medication, and other supplies as they bunker down at headquarters.
"It goes without saying, there is an extra level of stress when the hurricane is impacting our own families and homes," Feltgen said in an email Friday.
Some are gearing up for the long haul at NHC's headquarters on the Florida International University campus. It's a fortress of a building intended to withstand a powerful storm with emergency generators, toilets, telephone lines, and air conditioning.
Center employees have posted about preparing their families, pets, and homes for the destructive storm approaching -- all while issuing forecasts and warnings about the very storm coming right for them.
NHC scientist Eric Blake posted on Twitter about his personal plans.
