I just called the hotel. They said they aren't expecting anything more than heavy rain Saturday. I guess we won't know more until tomorrow. I'm going to keep an eye on it and make aq decision later. Seems that the bad part is east of the eye. If it hits just east of gulf shores we should be okay. I hope.

Mike hang in there. After looking at those pix and if it were me I'd have to walk away and let the critters have it.
Tornados are bad but they're generally over with quickly and there's no storm surge to contend with. But then that depends on how much rain there's been and if you live in a flood plain.
There's some cheap and beautiful river and creek bottom land north of Tulsa, cheap because it floods every year or nearly anyway. I could never figure why people would move into that area.
:grumpy:
I can understand in Florida with the beautiful beaches, the sea, and all that goes with it but for me once would be enough.
You can damned sure beat the alcohol if you can keep dealing with these damned storms!!!!

Thanks, Yvsa.
Wind is pretty much a roar. Low tide isn't- & high tide at 2:17 central.
Voluntary evacuation but of course were not going- still 4 mph short of a cat. 1.
Will post pix later. Waves breaking over seawall with some pretty good wind behind them.
These storms either kick your a__ or do nothing... oddly, this one seems in-between.
Wife had to go in to the hospital (work). Worried about her crossing 3 mile bridge but she called from work OK.
Looks like a hit right on us but that's actually good- worst weather is on the dirty or "Caca-mierda" side to the east of center. :footinmou
and now the waiting. Hot cup of black tea & a cigarette.
Still have power - and any tree standing proved it could stand 115 mph winds last Sept., so... not many should fall.

neat link- NOAA weather buoy anchored south of us. Just recorded 18 ft wave- interesting. Think this is the one that recorded 55 ft wave during Ivan- no one wanted to believe it...

another neat link- live radar loop- shows the eye moving south of us- biggest junk may have blown thru already...
