When I first moved south and was this young adrenaline junkie, we would drive about in the storm looking for trees falling or flying debris. Tank of gas an extra 5 in the trunk a 6 pack of soda and off we would go.
Stay safe my friend. We got lucky and missed the real bad stuff. Sounds like power is out in parts of town, but not everywhere. Waiting to hear back about my house. But sounds like the worst is over for Destin area.The eye is REAL close, now. Weather projections........80-90 mph wind gusts for the next 3 to 3 1/2 hrs.
Sure hope you get a happy report.......transformers blowing up all over Dothan. Our power has been out for an hour, now. Several panels blown out of the greenhouse, but it's still standing. No trees down, yet......which IS a miracle.Stay safe my friend. We got lucky and missed the real bad stuff. Sounds like power is out in parts of town, but not everywhere.

Early reports are damage lighter than expected. Beach area trees denuded and broke in half. Center of damage from Mexico beach they are saying, so further east of you is goodThe eye is REAL close, now. Weather projections........80-90 mph wind gusts for the next 3 to 3 1/2 hrs.

Our daughter-in-law's family lives in Panama City. Her aunt's 4-store antique shop, downtown, is gone, her brothers house is gone and all other relatives have trees on their homes and vehicles. For all intent and purposes, P.C. and Mexico Beach are. pretty much, gone.All things considered a few shingles are cheap and plywood decking is easily installed! My friend in PC lost his home and his business.
