The hype has started! People were buying water and the lines were about 5 mins at publix but I live on the east coast which should only see rain. Go figure.

Id say that is being proactive not hype. Plus if the north of the state is a mess it will effect goods coming south.

Here in Tallahassee, people were lining up last night to buy gas. Today, every market is a bit hectic and it should get worse by COB today. We know a nasty one is headed our way so people are preparing for the outages as best they can.

They'll need Gulf or FPL to help out, Tallahassee has their own city 'company' (for those not familiar with TLH)

If the system maintains this configuration and doesn't gain it's anticipated longitude some rather heavy weather could make it onto or just graze the west coast. The latest QPF output keeps the heavy stuff just west of here but it's going to be a close shave. Perhaps Dennis 05 might be an analog for the west coast as the system transits the eastern gulf. we escaped significant impacts here but I strongly prefer a bigger margin of safety.


If it tracks just 50-100 miles further east, we're in some deep do do on the west coast

Far eastern side of Sarasota County....just had a massive squall, huge gusts of winds, tree limbs flying.

Can't imagine when it gets closer to us. I HOPE it stays far away from our W. Coast.....don't want to prep like a hurricane.

As I expected, the last recon with a position northwest of the recon was a wobble not a change of movement. Any close to over land interaction with the western tip of Cuba will also do the same, either east or west but in most cases, a wobble to the east is more likely after emerging from Cuba.

It appears that the population of coastal Gulf County are taking Michael seriously. I was in the grocery store adding to our volunteer fire department supplies and almost everyone was preparedness shopping. The BOCC has a mandatory evacuation for Cape San Blas, Indian Pass, Simmons Bayou and water side of US 98 in Highland View, WindMark, St. Joe Beach and Beacon Hill plus a voluntary evacuation of inland structures, low land areas, etc. All Gulf county coastal waters are closed due to rip currents, etc. Pray for us, this will be strongest storm we have faced. Will try to update the board as I can or upon request.

Yeah, and the last time the city went without power, the company here was unable to handle the increased manning effectively. We had crews here with extra parts and the ability and they did not even stage them to get ready when the circuits turned off to get to work. It was a very "serialized" operation as opposed to operating in "parallel" with the extra crews. Oh well, that is what generators are for I suppose...

Yes...there are quite a few tourists at the motels and hotels on PC Beach...I would imagine they'll start to issue the voluntary evacuation orders this evening or early in the A.M...

Disagree. He's got that "shrimp" look that they get before intensification.
