Zeek 16,643 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I took the pups and my niece up to north Alabama from the panhandle. Wife had to stay as an “essential personnel”. We also don’t have the sturdiest house so any prayers would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corchjay 5,311 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hope all is going well for your wife @Zeek . I'm sure the weather is starting to deteriorate quickly on the panhandle. The north easterly turn hasn't happened yet that was/is expected and not sure which is winning in the steering right now the forward movement of the storm or the front coming out of Texas. As a reminder for everyone in this path please take into considerations evacuation warnings... Just a reminder Hurricane Katrina was downgraded to a Cat 3 before landfall. Michael is expected to continue to gain strength up until landfall and be either a High Cat 3 or Low Cat 4 at land fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicitytiger 281 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Having lived on the gulf coast, cat 2 is the strongest I’d sit through again. If you can get inland even a few miles, please consider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're holding our breath on the expected turn. Who know what's going to happen. No rain with gusts just to 30 mph. Everyone stay safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it works it for you. Good gracious if anyone is in the line of this storm, please leave if you are able. It may be too late very soon.

sandyclawedtiger 206 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Roll call. Here off Pensacola Beach and winds kicking up to 30-40(gusts). How is everyone east. Hunker down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corchjay 5,311 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Officially Michael just went to a Cat 4... and that in the cooling of the night without sun. Tomorrow this thing may explode with the heat from shallow water and the sun. Also interesting the clouds are so high and the vortex so great surrounding the eye of the storm the cloud top temps are -112 F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeek 16,643 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 It’s just looking worse and worse. I have too many friends who refuse to leave and I’m beyond worried for my home and my families homes. We’re pretty tough in the Panhandle but we’ve never been hit, since I’ve been there, so dead on by one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,791 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Evacuated wife & kids Monday night from Tallahassee to near New Orleans and even 36 hrs & 350 miles from protected landfall, my relative's usually high dock was already submerged. Now THAT is extreme storm surge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike4AU 1,739 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 My brother lives on the water and is at ground zero of where Michael is projected to hit. I’ve told and told him that we have a spare bedroom waiting on him. My wife has pleaded with his wife for them to leave NOW. Awaiting on their decision. I don’t know what to say.

Mike4AU 1,739 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 PS, he lives about three miles from Tyndall AFB, which has declared HURCON 1 and ordered all non-essential personnel to evacuate. For Tyndall to do that tells me this is for real and sure is not media hype. Memory tells me this declaration is a first for Tyndall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
