We are at a state park right on the beach in Florida. Packing up. Heading west tomorrow morning.
I was at Jennette’s Pier on Nags Head last week. It was rough. Waves 15-20.
Hard to say where to go. My guess is what you said. Go west and north of Biloxi. Winds may carry this storm right over PCB.
You have some time, about 5 days before it gets close enough. We are in Jacksonville near the beaches and used to it. Very well prepared each year. 3 stage plan for shelter in place, short range evac inland go set, long distance evac go set. Shelter in place preparations take less than an hour.
