We're doing fine in Pensacola, but we're on the western edge (best place to be for a hurricane). I'm concerned bout Panama City and Apalachicola; they're going to get the brunt of it later this afternoon.
It's just been some drizzly rain here. Hopefully, we won't see much more than that, but there's still time.

We are square in the crosshairs. 300 miles inland and we have a tropical storm warning and our county is in a “state of emergency.” First time in recorded history a category 4 has hit the Florida panhandle and the lowest pressure ever recorded for a US hurricane. Three days ago it was thought this would not even become a tropical depression. But record warm temperatures turned it into a monster. This is the third hurricane within a year to hit the SE USA and cause damage way inland. Things are changing. At least we ordered a generator that will hopefully arrive today.
Mega positive thoughts to those south of us who will have catastrophic damage to deal with.

My sister-in-law decided to hanker down in Panama City. Hopefully that will not be the most stupidest mistake that she has ever made. My wife is really concerned.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

My brother lives in Ft Walton Beach, which is on the west side of the storm, right where the wind is blowing all the debris. He also lives right on the water. Nice view. Big windows. Double yikes. I was planning to visit him in about 2 weeks, but that might have to wait.
My daughter had a NC beach vacation planned for this week (booked months ago, before Florence)... the booking got cancelled because the house is in disrepair, and this is way more than 2 weeks after that storm, which landed as a category 1. Michael is being forecast as a 4 at landfall.
Panama City?? wow.
I don't understand why people stay when they know a storm is coming. Like the people on the Carolina barrier islands (average elevation = 5 feet above sea level) hearing reports of 12-15 foot storm surges, and deciding to stay and tough it out.

My mother grew up in Jacksonville Beach and retired back to there. If the word ‘hurricane’ was mentioned as even getting started off the African coast, she would be on the road in minutes heading inland. That’s from the perspective of having grown up with them.
And now, enhanced by global warming, these storms are even worse. I can’t imagine. Good luck to all.

About this time last year, my aide's brother was drowned when trying to drive across a few inches of water flowing across the highway. He and his passenger were swept downstream and drowned.
Please don't take unnecessary risks, dear friends.

Good news is my Mother-in-Law in Panama City Beach (she did not evacuate under the mandatory evacuation notice...sigh) came through okay and she has electricity, so yay! Got lucky this time, as she lives about half a mile from the Gulf.

Long night but we’re good. Downgraded from Cat 1 to TS about an hour before it got here and we stayed on safer west side of the eye. We had only 55 mph gusts and 4” of rain. Lot of cleanup to do.
Really bad in SW Ga. My hometown had 115mph winds - 100 miles inland.
Just saw video from Panama City where a very long line of freight train cars were blown over. Sheesh.

I've weathered almost every hurricane since Donna in 1960, including a cat 5 -- I don't advise that for everyone.
In a hurricane, the biggest problem is the flooding, and I have always lived on the Eastern Sand Ridge, I'm now 32' above sea level. The house was built in 1950 before the developers bribed the politicians to water down the tough building code.
They later sold frame homes built with 2x4s with shingle roofs to northerners on land that used to be swamps. The new arrivals got duped into buying houses that were never designed to withstand the force of a major hurricane and on land that often floods. These people have the most trouble.
But high and dry with a well constructed house means the odds of surviving are probably better than driving out on I95 or US1.
I live on the east coast so the storm missed us. We may have gotten a few gale force winds and some rain.
I'll be going out to donate blood later today. There might be some people who need it, and if enough of us give, the supply won't run low.

We lost electrical power shortly before 3 PM and it came back on about 8:30 PM or half an hour ago. I checked out readings from a few nearby personal weather stations on Weather Underground. Highest reported wind gust was 71 mph (114 Kmh) at one and 64 mph (102 Kmh) at another. Throughout the day we received about 6.4 inches (16.3 cm) of rain with the majority of it between 1 to 6 PM.
Lots of broken tree limbs and debris in the surrounding roads and enough trees blown down to make it interesting for the power restoration crews.
We are perhaps 60 miles (96.5 Km) west of center so I'm sure it is worse east of us.
I was raised near Charleston, South Carolina in the fifties and sixties when hurricanes seemed to pass through every two to three years so I'm very respectful of the power they have. I don't remember any hurricane remaining strong enough to be a hurricane or tropical storm this far inland from where it originally made landfall. Even now, tropical force winds extend 275 miles (443 Km) to the southeast of the center. Amazing!

.... I don't remember any hurricane remaining strong enough to be a hurricane or tropical storm this far inland from where it originally made landfall. Even now, tropical force winds extend 275 miles (443 Km) to the southeast of the center. Amazing! In retrospect we were very lucky. We are in middle GA and the eye passed directly over us about the time it was re-classified to a tropical storm. We have only two trees down and they are aways from the house. Our five mile hiking/biking trail will take weeks to clean up...but I don't want to whine give what happened in SW GA and Florida. Bud

So glad you 'kids' (poetic license) are safe and dry.
I have never experienced a hurricane and don't want to, but we live in 'Tornado Alley' which can be frightening. It's a cinder-block building so virtually unaffected by windstorms.
During tornadoes, they roll me, bed and all, to an interior room away from the windows where I entertain we fossils with music and/or old time radio shows. Normally, they pass pretty quickly.
On one such occasion I was at the VA Hospital in Muskogee and they sent everyone to the "storm-proof" basement while the water rushed in under the doors. Water rose to about 4-5" around our feet. Roofing materials were flying everywhere and took out a few windows. It was definitely interesting!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
