Look up webcams once we know track, Florida coast is littered with them

good luck fellas, glad this m'fer doesn't look like its headed to the gulf....
Hope y’all stay safe and get out. I hope it some how miraculously turns out east and stays in the Atlantic Ocean.

I’m in the area if there’s anything you need.
As much as I hate to say it, so true. For me to flood it would take Noah rounding up two of each species. Wind is what I don't like because not only do I live near woods but my neighbors don't do a thing about their trees. Two houses over Lurch (always walks head down and never says hello) has a pine tree like 30 Rock during Xmas. It'll miss my house but it'll take out my neighbor along with utility lines. Then I'll have to sue.
Not looking forward to this.
This might be a rough one...
I'm a little nervous about my roof at this point though, ordered a couple tarps on amazon just in case

Think I have about 20-30 plastic Jugs in the attic for the lack of bottled water issue. I just fill them beforehand and good to go. Charleston gets a scare every year or two.
Yea, I have a new house, hopefully built to code, but if this sumbitch is a cat 4 then I don't know what to expect. And the track is up in the air, so not sure if going south would be better or not for my families safety.
My family in Florida got hit by the last one in Panama City. Four adults and even more kids. They literally had to bust through the wood flooring to take cover as the house was being torn apart. Some of them are said to have some pretty bad nightmares still. My uncle had to tell his 15 year old son to grow the hell up now for the kids sake. Sounds like a pretty scare experience. All the trees were gone and the house had to be demolished. When they say evacuate...it's a good idea.
PCB/ Mexico Beach looked like someone took a weed whacker to any tree taller than 10' after Michael
ALWAYS PLAN FOR ONE CATEGORY HIGHER THAN FORECASTED AT LANDFALL.

We went through a high 4 (Charley) almost Cat 5 15 years, it wasn't fun. I went outside as the eye was passing over, it's a very weird thing. A direct hit suck, as you get beat by one side and then the eye passes and you get beat up from the other direction.
Went to PCB a few months ago for a ThunderBeach Bikefest and they're still recovering, while majority of the town/city has recovered there's signs from the Michael all over the city.
I hope this storm decides to go back East or Panama City might get wiped out completely especially if this thing is going to jump to a Cat 4.

My Wife's uncle and Aunt are still not back into their house...STILL!
Yea, the eye is an odd phenomenon.
Went through it with Wilma and another one. Went outside, let the dogs pee and then went back in 15~mins later.
Pardon me while I rant a little.
There is a million dollar reward for anyone that can solve the fundamental set of equations that defines meteorology (it's at the center of all weather models); it is impossible to solve, more variables than terms. In order to "solve" it, we break down the atmosphere in to different spatial scales. At the planetary scale we assume certain variables to be certain values (or eliminate them altogether). When you go down smaller spatial scales to say continental scale we do the same thing but for different variables in the equations. Again, go down to even smaller spatial scales like regional systems or even smaller (like individual thunderstorms) and again assume a different set of variables in the equation to be certain values or eliminate them.
That's fine and dandy for "regular" weather but we can't do this process for hurricanes. Now when I say fine and dandy, I mean "still hard as ****." The first guy to make a numerical weather prediction (mathematically solve the governing equations) for two points for a six hour forecast took OVER 6 WEEKS to calculate by hand. However, hurricanes require all variables/processes/interactions from EVERY spatial scale to be accounted for. So imagine the amount of calculations and how long that would take to do by hand... years
So give meteorologists a break, especially with hurricanes.
