Good post Steve, Im evacuating today and will be riding out the storm in Pensacola. Im very nervous and all local mets say they are certain a direct hit near Mobile or Pensacola is likely. They are saying as strong if not stronger then Fredric in 79'. I dunno, but Im done tracking the storm and staring at satellites, Im going to hunker down tonight and hope for the best. This is probably the most excited I've been about a storm since its my first, but its kind of offset by all the stress and fear. Its the wierdest feeling. You love it but you hate it. Oh well Good Luck everyone. I'll post whenever I get back to my house, and have power again. Cheers Keep safe guys.
