Is that the guy pretending the wind was blowing him over when the two guys strolled by in the background?
My parents lived in one of the historic houses on “Admiral’s Row”. 7 plantation style homes built in like the 1850’s located on the military base. Beautiful two story homes with wrap around porches, only problem was there were about 1000 yards from the bay.
Ivan came, along with a 8’ storm surge and my parents lost EVERYTHING on the first floor. The houses were eventually demolished. And my family lost every family photo/video of our lives. There are only a handful of photos of me younger than 28 years old.
This sucks for everyone about to be impacted.
Thank you for the kind words.
Is it just me, or does the concentration of the worst weather associated with this seem to be more on the left (west) side so far?
My sister, her husband, and my nephew & his family are riding this out at the latter's house on the PCB side of Hathaway Bridge. I'm right there with you.
That will all wrap around eventually as it continues to move, could be rough for Tally....
That's because the north & east sides were already interacting with land while the west & south sides were still over water.
Expect F-2/F-3 tornado-like damage in the eye wall even ten miles inland per Greg Postal....going to be very much like Andrew...
Another 7 MPH and it becomes Cat 5......pressure down to 923 MB (Andrew was 922)

No doubt, yet that has nothing to do with my response which you quoted , so what is your point ?
Just responding to the sub-thread of people in low laying places on the coast deciding to stay put with this storm bearing down.
Also, been watching radar and certainly seems since like 9:45 it has started to move more east-northeast or am I blind? Weather keeps saying north-northeast but not what I am seeing...PCB is still going to get whopped but maybe not as bad if it shifts (though that means Appalachicola is bye-bye and Tally gets worse)
A big red (on radar) cell just missed our neighborhood off Mission Road by less than a mile to the west.
She was lucky to have picked up a generator this morning so she can keep the fridge going, fire up some fans, and keep her tech charged.
Stephanie Abrams actually left Port St Joe and went to PCB with Jim Cantore's crew because of safety concerns..looks like Mexico Beach and Port St Joe are going to get the eye. PCB is going to get alot of damage but maybe a little lucky (at the expense of the latter two places)
I just saw her reporting from the same location as Cantore and Reynolds Wolf. I wasn't sure if they moved for safety concerns or they thought PCB was going to take the direct hit.
I keep looking at the video they are showing if Indian Pass. I can't believe how much the water has come up there already, and it is only going to get worse in the next hour or two.
Yeh her crew was in a house there and as it started to shift more E-NE they got concerned. PCB may get a little lucky (though sure they will still get alot of damage). Tally may end up getting whacked hard
The Weather Channel shmoes in PCB all look fine. Winds only around 30mph. Where is the eye? It's allegedly coming ashore now. This is strange.
The eye is still about an hour offshore. The worst winds are on the northwest side of the eye.
because as mentioned already the storm has shifted east about 40-45 miles...Mexico Beach and Port St Joe are about to get whacked and probably in next 30 minutes or so eye is coming ashore
The NNW side appears to be precisely where the PCB folks are though.
The weather channel radar is showing the eye coming onshore basically now. Am I seeing something wrong?
