They just arrived at 8:10 ET.....she stated traffic was light, sky overcast but not raining.....she stated water levels appeared high and choppy......she sent pics..... looks ominous even that far from the storm
In talking with a couple of WW-2 Captains, they told me there was a very large roll factor, and that proper ballasting was essential. They indicated that more than once they had a salt rime around the stack.
True!
Strike path is getting firmed up: Tyndall AFB (as others have noted) is still the target, with Mexico Beach getting a storm surge in excess of 13 feet.
City manager of PCB told media roughly 25k have decided NOT to evacuat.
Pray this is a mistake.

Praying for you all. Mean looking storm :-(
Clouds are moving at a fast clip here in central Florida since I awoke at 7:30 am ET.
I’ve heard they aren’t.
Because apparently the (unwarranted) evacuation with Irma caused a lot more problems than they publicized and people are saying nope. Not that nightmare again.
That’s totally hearsay. I dont know.
Right now ........ that EYE looks like an EVIL EYE.
Has it made the turn yet?
I have friends in south Ms and they are literally so confident all is well.
They’ve done ZERO to prepare.
I know technology is awesome these days but... hurricanes will never be an exact science.
Hurricane camille didn’t turn when they said it would either.
More recently Rita’s last minute jog east....
Maybe with the upgrade to Cat 4 overnight, the folks will wake up this morning and head north or west.
_________
"loses the warn water" --- WHEN is that?
Tons of people were heading west yesterday...I-10 was packed on the west bound side here in Mobile.
Turning more east. Hopefully Panama City will be on the weaker West Side. Going to be close
I’ve had the same problem with friends vacationing in Biloxi. No way I would be staying ON THE BEACH with a Cat 4 hurricane that close. Too unpredictable. Too dangerous.
This is going to get very close to a cat 5. Pressure now under 930 mb
Is anyone on here from Apalachicola? We evacuated but would like to get live updates if possible. Thank you.
