I was wondering if they were going to bump it to 155 at landfall. The 919 definitely supports that number.

It seems almost sacrilege to say this, but the satellite pictures are absolute perfect beauty and symmetry.

You may never see a more perfectly formed and presented storm.

I remember Camille & what it did to Nelson County in our state (VA). The body count was between 150-160 and some were never found. Nelson is 1.5 - 2 hours down the road.

Michael just popped up to 155 mph on Weather Channel - almost a Cat 5.

The flipping outer bands are stretching out just south of Birmingham.

I wonder if one of the NDBC’s weather stations in Panama City got knock out by the storm. Or

Look at the wind chart. It went from gusting to 93 kts to reporting a 0.

That’s 2 MPH away from a CAT 5, correct?

ABC is showing what it is like on the ground in Panama City. A roof just fell on some SUVs and the wind is unbelievable.

Tyndall Air Station will be Tyndall Naval Station after this - looks like a direct hit:

Correct, and they could well upgrade it to Cat 5 after they study the damage afterwards.

Rush just reported winds 155 MPH at the eye and gusts of 175 MPH, on his radio program.

Looters and burglaries already? I am streaming Weather Channel and others on my computer and a few minutes ago, while the reporter is talking a group of what appears to be young men with bags head up between the apartment buildings, like looking for way in.

And the pictures don’t look threatening. Got three channels livestreaming. Chance for day off for the locals. Fun for the fearmongering reports to enjoy the weather and on-air antics.

Navarre is OK. Is 50 miles west of the action. Beach erosion, minor roof damage at most.
