God almighty, that is a big storm.
Last time I rode something like that out was Hugo. Please pray for my Girlfriend's grandmother, she decided to stay and ride out the storm in Destin Florida.

I-10 looks wide open to me
Am I mistaken, or does the Weather Channel keep saying it will make landfall in Fla? Looks like LA to me..

But sitting here in Orlando, we're just waiting for that beast to take the same unexpected right turn Charley did.

The Weather Channel has been saying that for, what, five days now. I don't get it. Most people don't get it.
What we won't know is whether the storm will still try to make landfall at the mouth of the Mississippi or if it will turn at the last moment into the Gulf coast of Mississippi and Alabama. My mother is in a nursing home in Fairhope and the home is planning to hunker down and ride out the storm. I think they'll be okay if they don't get a direct hit. It's a pretty sturdy one-story brick but I am concerned about tornadoes, flying debris, etc. that could strike.
My sister and her husband are leaving Baldwin County, AL and moving inland to some family members in Mississippi. They have horses and their house is a wood frame so I have my concerns about that too. Plus, they're down the street from a bunch of mobile homes.
I don't wish the storm for anyone but I do hope the ye comes ashore somewhere along the Mississippi-Louisiana state line as it is not heavily populated there and there is quite a bit of vegetation to weaken it as it comes ashore.
It won't be another Camille but then that whole area wasn't built up then nearly as much as it is today.
TWC just said this could cause 30ft surge! Anyone know when high tide is on the coast?
On that Weather Channel Map Room link, on the Africa map, is that where all these storms come from? The band of storms right in the middle?
They have reporters (or whatever they call them) in Pensacola, Mobile, Panama City, and maybe Grand Isle?
