We in Panama City Beach this week, about a mile east of Bay/Walton county line. Just got back from our morning beach hike, and the surf is kicking up. A little breezy. Can’t detect that the water level has risen any. High tide here about dark tonight. Looking for surf to get up to the dune line, or thereabouts.

UGH. 2020 just needs to END!

Zeta is moving so fast they are now saying it will still be carrying winds of 60-70 MPH as it roars through Central Alabama.

Was hoping it wouldn't intensify like it has, but definitely looking like CAT II at landfall now. Plus, as is the norm with late season storms its fast movement will allow it to stay at tropical storm strength much further inland than normal.

The bright side to the fast movement is that rainfall will be limited and generally under 5 inches in most places.
