Hi Destin...Navarre here. I'll see your heebie-jeebies, and raise you a cold sweat.
That's a sizable shift. Wowser!
Hey blam--if you're not stuck in a gas line--check out post #358.
Jeb on Fox now.
Jeb is holding presser right now. He flew over Homestead. Said there was significant flooding in the area. Thankfully, not too much property damage.
Jeb asked for FEMA assessment already. 1000 National Guard are activated.
The storm with the pretty name is gonna be a b****!
He is speaking in Spanish now...
Jim Cantore is there, he is the hurricane magnet!

'This is really like a nightmare'
Fredie Carmichael @PensacolaNewsJournal.com
Santa Rosa Island Authority General Manager W.A. Buck Lee says work already has begun on Pensacola Beach to prepare the island for a possible Hurricane Katrina strike.
Lee said crews began moving heavy equipment off the island this morning to a spot near Naval Live Oaks, north of U.S. 98.
Were getting ready, he said. This is really like a nightmare.
Lee was contacted by The Weather Channels Jim Cantore earlier today to schedule a Saturday morning interview on the beach.
Its hard to believe its happening again, Lee said.
Lee said no plans have been made about evacuating businesses and residents from the island. Discussions on those plans, he said, could begin Saturday.
On Sunday, if Katrina still is headed toward the Panhandle, crews will begin moving the beachs lifeguard stands and trucks to a safe place. Lee said he hopes of all of the islands efforts will just be precautionary.
Hopefully, a low-pressure (system) will come and move it away from here, he said. But well continue to prepare for the worst.
Hmmmmm, didn't take Jeb much effort to get the National guard out... lucky for the people of Fla they aren't starving to death.
I love it when Gov. Bush effortlessly slips into Spanish in these press conferences. Must drive the Dem strategists nuts, taking away one of their race/ethic cards.
Thanks for the update. It's hard to grasp this is happening again already.
That thing is still moving west, thank goodness.
He gets very animated while speaking Espanol.
It was just a big contrast.
Keep on moving west, Katrina! Texas beckons you!
Good for us, bad for someone else now.
High wind advisory driving north over the Skyway. No flashing lights during the return trip--and it seemed the winds were a tad stronger then. Go figure.
South end of the bay is very choppy.
You will not get my thanks, I know Houston is far west but I have this bad feeling. Have been dreaming of tornadoes for last two weeks for some reason.
Better get out there quick.....like, NOW!
Before the 4PM crowds hit...
My sister is in Mobile and they are feeling the same...
I just don't trust this one...
