Major Hurricane Michael is churning toward the northeastern Gulf of Mexico coast. Florida Governor Rick Scott declared a state of emergency Monday for 35 counties with mandatory coastal evacuations in the FL Panhandle. 1,250 National Guard troops are aiding the process and more than 4,000 more placed on standby.
FEMA is already on the ground in Florida; other federal agencies are also preparing to assist people in the storm's path.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Monday declared a state of emergency for the entire state. Georgia Governor Nathan Deal issued a state of emergency for 92 counties ahead of Hurricane Michael landfall.
Meanwhile, Tallahassee city government (Andrew Gillum, Mayor & D'Rat FL Gubernatorial candidate) offices are "closed until further notice." Tallahassee International Airport is suspending commercial flight activity as 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday but expects to resume activity on Thursday.
The U.S. military moved its aircraft from the Panhandle on Monday. Roughly 50 F-22 stealth fighter jets — valued around $150 million each — have been relocated from the Tyndall Air Force Base, while the U.S. Navy said it is moving all its training aircraft from Pensacola.
Energy Production The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) on Tuesday estimated that around 726 MMcf/d (28.4%) of natural gas production and 670,831 b/d (39.5%) of oil production in the GOM had been shut in ahead of the storm.
As of midday Tuesday, 75 platforms and three rigs had been evacuated, while eight dynamically positioned rigs had been moved out of the storm’s path as a precaution, according to BSEE.

Not sure. Hope not....but CAT5 is bad enough.
“Re: rural Georgia, can you imagine crop losses at harvest time?”
Agreed.
Pecans, peaches, cotton, etc.
A terrible mess.

Sweet Lord. 919. Unthinkable.
919? Where’d you hear this?
Miami Herald reporting this morning on people along the coast living in mobile homes not evacuating.
“I’m kind of scared, but I know I’m going to be safe because I’m with my mom.”
Geez
No good news for inland hurricanes. Good point about crop devastation. If there was enough time beforehand, some crops may be harvested before the storm. I believe peach season has ended already for GA this year.
I am not sure this is the time to discuss your post.
I haven’t seen government taking peoples property or forcing anyone leave.
It was reported by recon about 45 minutes ago.
PCB webcam is now down.
;o)
Nauti -thank you for your work with these threads and keeping us informed all of us have connections in one way or another to those affected and we can only hope and pray for safety for those who chose to stay and for all the animals that were probably abandoned
I meant 4.
I checked the lists of cams I just posted.......nothing shows! Asked they be removed.

Power must be down now.
Yep. Heard another mobile home dweller this morning, “We evacuated for Irma last year and nothing happened. We’re staying put for this one.”
