    It's crazy that the hurricane is still a Cat 3 going into Georgia...
    I went to Tallahassee a couple years ago after that Cat 1 and it brought down some a lot of trees. I imagine this will be like a working in Biloxi after Katrina all over again.

    Power is out at my buddies house in Svea (pronounced Sweer) just up Hwy 85 from Laurel Hill. Went out about 2:00 pm but they are okay. That’s the only outage in Okaloosa that I know so we came out so much better than Bay county and areas east of there

    We’ve been praying for all in the storms path. We’re trying to find out if our niece and her husband are okay. They live on the east side of Panama City.

    Watching some video feeds from Mexico beach and Panama city brings chilling memories of Ivan years ago. I'll be leaving in the morning with a lot of other lineman from the area to help with restoration.

    AT&T seems to be the only cell phone service currently working in Panama City Beach/area. Verizon and Sprint dead. The Free WIFi hot spots may provide alt comm.

    Death toll listed as one from a falling tree. I look at vid from Mexico Beach which got flattened and surge depth 10+ feet. There is never a total evacuation, more will be found in the days ahead. Thoughts and Prayers to those impacted.

    Bay and Gulf Hospitals took pretty severe hits. Windows blown out, walls cracked, flooding and roof damage.

    Entire Bay County on Boil Water Notice (if you have pressure).

    I'm awestruck that M went so far inland as a Cat2/1!

    A special thanks and Prayers for all our emergency responders, power/utitility workers.

    I'm still in Idaho as the airports are still shut down oo the Fl end. I've been told I only have shingle and tree damage. Got some friends that lost roof/walls/everything. Told them where the keys were stached and portable gen inst.

    We were sooo lucky here in Beulah, I feel a little guilty. We got a little wind and a sprinkle. Prayers to those in the path.

    Finally got word from our niece and her husband who lived to the east of Panama City. I say lived because after their windows blew out the roof was next to go. They were able to find shelter with their next door neighbor whose home withstood the storm

    PC to Apalachicola They are blocking hwy 79S for residents only, IH10 is closed(80 miles of it) or slow, 231 had a train issue and was closed. power and water is out most places, what tremendous damage.

    For those that know my lease and folks there south of Ebro on Hwy 79, Lease and owners compound(4 homes 18 people) has no power, fences and trees down, everyone OK, their 2 diners are OK on PCB. that area got 6" of rain and heavy winds, no one on the lease as of yet, too much personal damage to get to first..

    I don’t remember if it was Swedes or Swiss I was told that settled there. I think in was my Granny’s sister who told me how it was supposed to be pronounced some 50 years ago

    Wear3 said only one FD-EMS was able to answer calls and then only in their area. I think it was Panama City not PCBeach but I’m not sure
