Gut feeling is Panama City Proper stays on the western eyewall, but they will certainly have damage. Gulf, liberty and Calhoun stand to take most of the right front quadrant...some of the least populated counties in the state save for Glades and a couple others around the big bend. Again, that’s no consolation to the folks that do live there. But if Leon or escambia county was about to be raked by a high end cat 4 eye wall there would be mass destruction
I mean it’s location location location...had Harvey landed a few miles south the story would much different that rockports destruction followed by a Houston flood as corpus would have been a complete mess.
With Harvey, where it landfalled was not where most of the damage occurred. And it was far from just a Houston flood. Further east, in extreme Southeast Texas, communities were literally wiped out and the flooding was catastrophic. Thousands of us lost everything, including myself. I'm just west of Beaumont.
This is a different beast. I just pray everyone in the path of Michael heeded the warnings, but social media postings have left me fearful for their lives.
