But again, all these people losing their minds....you KNEW it was hurricane season, you KNEW you needed a few bottles of water and some canned goods back in May. And yet they continue to put things off til the last minute. Meanwhile I'm over here, canned goods, check, water, check, 3 full propane tanks...check. Human nature is to procrastinate until the edge of doom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Michael is now "potentially catastrophic" and has sustained winds of 145mph, the National Hurricane Centre has said in its latest advisory, delivered at 7am local time in Florida. Hurricane Michael has strengthened to a Category 4 major storm as it closes in on Florida and Alabama – and authorities are warning the “potentially catastrophic” cyclone may become more intense still before landfall later today. By early afternoon local time Michael is expected to become one of the Panhandle region’s worst hurricanes in memory with 140mph winds and a life-threatening storm surge of up to 4m (13ft). "The historical record, going back to 1851, finds no Category 4 hurricane ever hitting the Florida panhandle. Bay County (Panama City) likely to be ground zero for landfall later this afternoon."

Soda Popinski Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Yeah this thing has really hulked out once it got those warm gulf waters feeding it. Glad i'm not in it's path the storm surge is going to be devastating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 This one isnt going to be good. It may make landfall as a Cat 5!! Storm surge projected at 14 feet. This thing is still getting stronger and now is just a few hours away. Praying for all of you on the Emerald Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T&C Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Latest update has it just below a Cat. 5... pressure dropping fast. The video below is live: Edited October 10, 2018 by T&C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Not as important as human lives..................but it will effect all of us. OUCH: Michael shuts nearly 40 percent of U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil output. Between this, Canada’s refinery fire, the roaring economy, Venezuela’s ongoing collapse, and the (necessary) return of sanctions on Iran, it sure doesn’t look like we’re going to see any price relief soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After our fires, people thought the whole county burned down, tourism plummeted. After one year, it's still down w/ the misconception all the wineries and area was destroyed. Mikey...landfall @ 155 (1 mph short of a CAT 5), definitely not a yawn...especially to all those people who took precautions and still will be left dealing w/ disaster (insurance companies don't readily hand out money, as many found out here). I don't wish that upon anyone. Edited October 10, 2018 by 707BillsFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Duffy Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Mexico beach and San jose beach is straight white out on the camera. Can't see nothing with that strong wind and rain. Going to be much of nothing left there. They are getting hit with the strongest eastern eye wall of it. Hate it for them. Hope they had sense enough to leave.
