Holy shit.

Aw man. That clip from Saint George Island makes me unspeakably sad.

It’s one of the few spots left that hasn’t been overdeveloped and isn’t covered in neon and lights.

Beautiful place and I have great memories from going there.

Ugh.

Doesn't say, but probably East of Panama City Beach....   winds/destruction much worse on the NE quadrant...  I don't know the marinas in that area

[texas08 1599]

Eeek

[Mother mopar 3291]

It so surreal, all the trees look like broken toothpicks. Mother nature always has a way of showing people that they don't and cant control everything.

This is gonna take a few minutes to clean up....

Watching a half hour now, and seen commercials for aspca, world wildlife federation, and save the children.  Is this usual weather channel commercials, or do these charities do big media buys during catastrophe coverage because of who watches it?

Checking in on generator power from the suburbs North of Tallahassee! Generac GP6500E FTMFW.

 

Just got 4g back after about 18hrs without any connectivity.

 

Ask me anything about Michael. Survived it with two little kids. Chainsaw bit the dust. Four wheeler also needs some attention.

How long before you think you get power.

Devastating storm for sure. You dodged a bullet
Images of Mexico beach are amazing. I think this will make more people evacuate in the future

Power could be a while. I live way out in the woods. Local electricity cooperative. Not city power. No way to really know. Wouldn't be surprised if it was Sunday.

I do have DirecTV and a handshake deal with several friends who have city power and cable to let them watch football here Saturday if they bring gas cans.

God Bless America!  Anyone have any pics or reports from Port St. Joe?

[bigshark88 388]

Mexico City-

OH shit my buddy's condo is in that building on the right. Just to the right of that bridge. Building looks intact once they get the neighbors houses out of the parking lot. Thinking the docks on the back side are toast.

That's nuts.  It's probably obvious, but that base won't be repaired for years.  Same thing happened to Homestead back in '92 after Hurricane Andrew.  Knowing all the bureaucratic bullshit we have to endure just to get a water fountain repaired, I can't imagine how the process will look to get Tyndall back to normal.  And I truly feel for you because I'm sure there's no quick way to PCS 1000s of people at the same time.

So is the death toll still at 1?

If so, that is wonderful.

If images of the destruction of Ike and Katrina didn't get people to evacuate this one, I'm not sure these images will help. People are stubborn when it comes to their homes.

It’s pretty amazing to go to go to Google Maps and look at the before satellite images for that exact area and realize that the casualty numbers are as low as they are. Those are multiple blocks just right there that have been completely wiped out. Mexico Beach still had a number of vacant lots in it, but that section there between the canal and 38th street or so was built up quite a bit. We looked at condos on the Harbor there at one point before we decided to go further south.

Hope you got some bug spray bro

We actually got damn near hurricane force winds here in VB last night from it. Surprised it didn't fall apart before getting here.

 

My SIL in Tally is all good thankfully. No power, but otherwise intact.

[Mother mopar 3291]

Up to 7 per my LinkedIn feed.

Blew a fucking gale here last night.

[phdhorn 6224]

It's likely to strengthen a bit again as it moves into the Atlantic.  Could get to a Cat 2, although the water out there is < 80°, so it won't last long.  But shit, that's a tough hurricane.

[bigshark88 388]

Lots of media attention at the coast but I am hearing there's extensive, deadly damage inland in poor / rural areas north of 10. Towns like Marianna, Sneads and Gretna apparently got crushed

No doubt.   But of course, Marianna, Sneads, and Gretna don’t generate tourist revenue so TWC and other outlets don’t care

This is pretty cool/scary not super clear but at the very end you can see the coast through the eye-

Crazy at the very end, there are two or three 2-story houses, directly beachfront, that look completely intact while everything around them was obliterated.

I hear this every time we see a major hurricane hit the US coast.  I don't think it ever turns out that way.

Up to 12 now.
