first of the fall. Won't be much. It will keep it out of the 90s.

I'm still new to this area , most roads around here are only a few feet above SL, and flood almost monthly. The temp seems cooler than normal, at79, I'll check back tomorrow.

The NOAA hurricane hunter is out there now...they found lower pressure ~949mb and winds close to 130mph. This storm is on the verge of becoming a cat 4.

I figured after it goes through the night it was going to intensify quite a bit. Looks like it will happen.

I hope the people on the coast did leave.

It is a cat 4 now. Tommorow will be a rough day for the panhandle.

I just looked it up.
NHC

4 (major) 130-156 mph 113-136 kt 209-251 km/h
Catastrophic damage will occur: Well-built framed homes can sustain severe damage with loss of most of the roof structure and/or some exterior walls. Most trees will be snapped or uprooted and power poles downed. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.

5 (major) 157 mph or higher 137 kt or higher 252 km/h or higher
Catastrophic damage will occur: A high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.

Stay safe everyone

No Problem. Just hoping people are safe.

I don't know that area too well but, I don't think that area is built up quite the same as some east coast Florida cities.

May Have lost the Live stream above, getting very nasty there.
Here's another

The core of #HurricaneMichael, seen in this #GOESEast imagery, is nearing the coast of the Florida Panhandle between St. Vincent Island and Panama City. An extreme wind warning has been issued for the eyewall. Latest: go.usa.gov...

Incredible how this continued to strengthen up until landfall. This is almost on par with Camille or Andrew.

Hopefully those in the eyewall will stay safe.

"Michael no has a deeper Pressure than Andrew at landfall." Andrew looked like a F5 tornado about 50 miles wide went through, my God.
Damn, looks like Mexico Beach is about to get leveled.

Thoughts and prayers to all in the path of this beast.

Landfall at Mexico Beach, just east of Panama City. No live coverage there that I have seen.

The Weather Channel may get a piece of the eyewall within the next 30minutes at Panama City.

The good news is the strongest winds are in a very tight radius.
