    I am not able to see with that precision, but that is general predicted pathway. But still expect little bit of wobble. There is still a little spread to consider and worry about.

    Tracking map: less precise, but likely more accurate. Show storm going to cat one on touching land.

    The NHC has an interactive map that you can zoom in to an actual map like google maps etc...

    Thanks. Looks better for my Panama City Beach house than I would have thought. I'm not worried about winds near as much as storm surge, since its on the water.

    Good Luck doesn't seem like enough to say, but GOOD LUCK and stay safe as much as possible.

    Hwy. 4 north bound into Baker and Hwy. 189 north bound out of Baker is full of tourists fleeing the storm. I promised my sister that I would take her to Crestview today last week and she still needed a ride so I’m out on the road.

    I have been there many times but having it in Crestview this time. Got to be at Eglin Hosp for wife's surgery at 8:30 AM Thurs, good grief!

    Will say a prayer for your wife hopefully it will go well.

    Traffic is bad all over Crestview the stores are full of folks doing last minute prep. Tried to get my sister to do her errands yesterday but she had banking to do. Waiting on her to come out of the Dollar General by Tractor Supply
    This is the last stop so hopefully I’ll be back home in a little while

    Storm was forecast to start heading more easterly at 16:00 hours. It’s 19:15 hours and it’s still headed due north. The system over in Texas needs to get a moving if it’s going to make the storm change direction

    At first you scared me. Take a look at the history. It was going to the north and slightly to the west. It is gradually turning. Now it turned to straight north and we soon we hope a little to the east.

    Now that's funny and fingers crossed for the easterly turn.

    I am sure if you are between Destin and Apalachicola you are hoping it goes more to the west or to the east. Looks like they are going to get hurt.
