This sucks.
As worried as I am about us here in Tallahassee, I can't fathom what's about to happen to PC, Mexico Beach, Port St. Joe et. al.
This is gonna suck.

You’ve forgotten Katrina? No? Good. That’s your worst case scenario. Imagine away.
Very light rain. Slight breeze here in Southwood. Time to take one last hot shower for a while.
Still hard to fathom we have the strongest hurricane in 167 years of recorded history for panhandle big bend hitting Wednesday morning and almost everyone first became aware of it Sunday...when it was looking like a TS or possibly CAT 1 could hit...on Thursday.
My house in Ga is 6 hours away from my place in Mexico Beach. I was in MB this weekend. There just wasn’t enough time to do everything needed to completely get ready for this. If it is even possible to get ready for this. I would have borrowed a 1 ton truck to pull my boat farther inland, if I would have had time.
Man o man
Camille is coming to mind here, this monster is scary for real
I hope people were able to get out
Those of you that stayed, it’s gonna be scary and noisy
Hunker down in a closet or bathroom
Those in high flood areas, have a plan in place to get to higher ground in the home, with a plan to get out
Remember Katrina people were stuck in their attics
I fear the worst, but am hoping for the best!
My prayers are with you all

I hope everyone's taken advantage of their free birth control.
Good luck my friend, we lost power for two weeks with Katrina and almost three weeks with Wilma. If you have a generator, get as much fuel as you can, fill up those tubs to flush toilets, and get any ice you can get.
All my best....if you get through ok structurally, it will simply be a major/minor pain in the ass for a period of time...
Andrew was Bad as hell, thankfully it was moving fast like 20 mph if I remember right
Slow monsters= devastation
Actually a slow moving cat 2 can cause a lot of damage

We planned a weeks vacation at PCB starting Saturday in a condo. Condo has been booked for months. Keep the updates coming as we are traveling from Indiana. What's the approximate time it's suppose to hit land?
Good mornin sir
Is it a ghost town up there?
Gets real eerie just before landfall when no ones moving around outside!

You might as well cancel. Panama City is in the crosshairs of a Cat 4. They will not be recovered in 3 days.
We have 30k-40k citizens south of the bay which is in the mandatory evacuation zone but there are fewer than 1k in the shelters. Most of the tourists have bugged out. Most.
Hope everyone on here in the path of Hurricane Michael is prepared and safe right now. Though no two Hurricanes are the same, I understand your angst after experiencing Hurricane Harvey last August.
In the event you were going to Panama City Beach for the BEACH, you might want to reconsider.

I have a date with a guy named Ted Bundy. Should I go?
I'm sure all of these folks will keep your redneck vacation plans top of mind!
Are you speaking the english language?! Try keeping it on topic or zip it! Did I speak clearly enough? Now, back to the topic at hand. I am thinking the beaches have sustained heavy winds and rain in the past. If by chance PCB doesn't get a direct hit, is there a chance the aftermath would be restored by Saturday?
Do you not get the Weather Channel? Jim Cantore is in Panama City. Or are you just not watching it?
PCB is going to get a close enough to direct hit that residents won't even be able to get home by Saturday. The beaches won't be recognizable, houses, condos, etc. are going to be severely damaged, roads are going to be washed away.
Cancel your vacation and look to go elsewhere.
Meanwhile I have some dude repeatedly posting updates of buoys that are measuring top winds at 66 knots.
Something is off with the readings on those buoys I’m guessing.
Hope all of y’all in the crosshairs stay safe as possible.

You're worried about your $500 vacation and asking for updates from people who are worried about their homes and personal safety. Take a hike.
This is a storm unlike any that the panhandle has ever experienced. Panama City is forecast to have 145+mph sustained winds, gusts 150+ and a storm surge of 10' above ground level. It's not going to be pretty.
