Navarre Beach looks like the target ...

If the current path holds, it looks like Navarre Beach between Pensacola and Fort Walton Beach is going to be ground zero. They were hit very hard by Ivan as seen in these pictures.

Not quite as built up an area as the communities which surround it, though it does have a few large beachfront hotels and a lot of houses.

Prayers to those from this town- hope they've left.

Man those pics are downright scary when you think about a potential 10-15ft storm surge w/waves on top of that!!! Complete overwash of those barrier islands.

This latest sattelite photo shows the northern track to the right of the predicted path

When the loop runs check on the box on the upper right to get the forcast points and it is going to the right of the forcast track
