Hurricane season is here

Cat 4 now.

It just keeps getting worse. It is about like the storm that hit not far away in 2018.

Michael made landfall along the Florida Panhandle near Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB) around 1:30 pm EDT (12:30 pm CDT) on Wednesday, October 10, 2018 as a category 5 hurricane, with maximum sustained wind speeds of 140 knots (161 mph) and a minimum central pressure of 919 millibars (mb)

Took a long time rebuild after that one.

The leading edge is making landfall, but the eye is a distance away.

Still a Cat-4 now. Expected Cat-2 north of Moultrie, tomorrow morning.

Micheal got us pretty good too...I think it was still a Cat 2 when it got here. I cut trees out of the road in front of the house and on the next road over for emergency vehicles if they needed to get through.

I cut my tooth on Camille and I have lost count of the ones between then and now. If it isn't any worse than Michael it'll be good....when I run out of fuel for the generator we will start cooking for the neighbors...flat grill and char grill are full...even my annealer has a full bottle on it

Stay safe y'all!

Wise man.

we dodged the worst of it...at 0400 the rain gauge had overflowed at 5" and the winds were 25+ and gusts probably twice that and has calmed a little more since then

The hotel has now closed and the evacuees have all gone home. Scratch one more hurricane scare. Hope the folks around Perry are OK. Could be others yet to come.

panama city beach we got nothing but a light rain for hours and no wind to speak of .......4 and 0 so far storm wise for us in one year here

Really seems like all the action on this one was on the dirty side of the storm. I’m on the far east end of Navarre right before the county line and there was literally nothing out here. I turned my sprinklers back on last night.
