FloTex Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Moved to Panama City from Texas in August 2017... had to evacuate for Rita in 05, and Ike on 08.. Michael has me just as worried as either of those. Hard to know what to believe. The Weather Channel is doom day scenario for ratings. I did evacuate to Biloxi though. Stay safe up in Colquitt. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a storm shelter my wife had me buy about twenty years ago. It was to give her peace of mind. However tonight it gives me peace of mind. Going under ground until morning.

Rufus>> I am watching the radar all day (yeah, I am not normal) Tyndall looked to be ground zero and Mexico Beach would have enjoyed the full fury of the eyewall without the break as the eye passed just west. Likely the worse area of all. Hit at 155. My God. I hope all were out . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus>> It’s bad Rufus... my sales route runs from Tyndall AFB to Apalachicola. Toucans is gone, Killer Seafood is gone, Gulf Foods is hammered. Most, if not all, houses are gone or damaged severely. Port St Joe, and Cape San Blas are as bad. Never thought it woulda got that bad. Sad! Reminds me of what Ike did to Crystal Beach, TX and Galveston. If not worse.

We won’t know how bad it is until tomorrow I’m afraid. My family and I got out and came to Biloxi. Not looking forward to going back and seeing the destruction.

FloTex Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Damn man, I hope not, but fully expect it. I’ve talked to a guy from Bainbridge, that owns a store on Cape San Blas. He said Mexico Beach from Toucan’s to west side of town, is completely gone. The El Govorner hotel completely collapsed I was told. St Joe got bad storm surge, but escaped the 150 mph winds.

CCBlackhatter Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Looks like the eye is going to pass over Albany or just west of it. That puts me about 30 miles from the center so I'm expecting it to get pretty rough at my house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any provenance on this photo? I swear I've seen that before. Hello Google Pictures! EDIT ****************** Found it! I knew I had seen it before. It is from June of this year.
