I am hoping that like most projections, this one is wrong, or at least a bit off. Please stay safe as you can, evacuate if needed, and know that we are all worried about you and all those in the path of Michael.
No evacuation, here, being 90 miles from P.C.B........keeping phones charged, for sure. Vehicles gassed up, plenty of charcoal and propane on hand.
We are heading out in the morning. Wanted to go today, but couldn't get approval early enough. Hope to go early to beat traffic. We are West of PCB, on the other side of the bay from Destin. Still well in the cone.

Do you have a generator?
No generator.......all sold out here, until Michael blows through......when 98% of them, along with 85% of panic-bought bottled water, will be returned for refund......"Normal hurricane preparedness protocol".

Keep safe everyone
Oh, dear! Hope you all keep safe!
We ended up leaving last night. Got a few hours down the road just to stay ahead of traffic. Now I just keeping thinking about the plants I'm gonna lose if it gets windy or heavy rain. Mother nature is determined I will not have a carrot crop this fall!
Stay safe DfD. Sounds like your prepared probably better than most.

Good time for a vacation. Go have some fun and relieve the stress
Yup, looking up things to do today. Space center, peering zoo, aquarium!
Sad part is we were planning a mini vacation to Apalachicola next weekend. Looks like that's a no go now.
