Hurricane Michael

[Sub Par SUPERSTAR]

It's raining pretty good outside my house, but it's not a deluge...That scares me, the proverbial "calm before the storm".

Storms that form in that area of the gulf tend to strengthen quickly.

Bath water.

What town are you in?

What town are you in?

Lynn Haven...It's a town/area within Panama City.

Is it still to late for you to leave?

Is it still to late for you to leave?

They've said the window for leaving has passed.

 

[salutethehill]

Good luck brother. Be safe.

Praying for everyone in the path of the storm

I'd love to hit the beach with a metal detector tomorrow. No telling what might wash up.

Unfortunately, I live in the PC area, a little area within PC called Lynn Haven, to be exact...I have two school aged kids, and even though we're not technically in one of the designated flood zones, I'm still freaking out.

Why didn't you evacuate? Man, I would have been out of there at the first warning lol.

Water already up over the dunes into gulffront buildings...

 

[VolInNorthCack]

A friend of mine retired to Mexico Beach, that's where he and his wife live...Hope it doesn't get bad....
I see that sustained winds are up to 145, and seas could be up to 13 ft high with landfall...

It's crazy. Storm surge is really the killer in these things. Yeah, the winds are bad and disastrous too, but I do not want to be in the middle of a 13 foot high storm surge unless i am on a boat.

 

[VolInNorthCack]

Apalach and PSJ already flooding. :/

I’m guessing many people haven’t had the chance to do so. This thing got in too fast, not leaving much time to board things up and get belongings before heading inland.

Is this similar to the Ducks Unlimited stickers that everyone in williamson county used to slap in their SUVs back in the 90s?

It’s the Salt Life sticker for people that actually go to the beach.

going to be a massive disaster - heavy heart for all those who are going to lose so much.

I've been hitting the panhandle since the mid 70s. It's truly one of the great beach areas.

 

[golfballs]

The lightning is apparently indicative of a storm that is increasing in strength and intensity. Continues to do so, right up to landfall...

I hope you're hunkered down. Stay calm for your kids. Know that all of us are praying for you.

30A is the Beverly Hills of the Redneck Riviera

Now there saying Michael has strengthen to 150mph and possible 16ft storm surge, looking more like Mexico Beach is the bullseye... Also it could become a CAT 5 before making landfall, not good news...
It's only about 30 to 40 miles from the coast...
