Sorry for the website layout issues, one of the image servers croaked so it lost that for a bit. It's rerouted to the others now, so it should be showing properly again. Also the Mobile webcam recorder display is having issue, but the images themselves are being stored. Adjusting image server network around to handle that. image 1 is down, image3 and image6 are having issues, image 2 is down, so it's a bit crazy. Trying to get things back up.

Please keep us updated as long as you can. My parents are in Marianna and I chose not to go up there due to the forecasts at the time. PM me if you can with any news. I called my parents this morning and they were unaware that the storm had increased in intensity. There may be even more they are not aware of. I have decided to go in afterwards if possible to take them anything they need. Thanks in advance.

Good Morning all. Things are picking up here in PC. I expect to lose power shortly. And yes...I think a slight wobble/drift to the north is taking place. We will see.

I'm seeing the trends on radar and satellite as well Pcola, but obviously it doesn't offer those of us in the Fort Walton Beach area much to smile about. I don't like what I see at the moment.

The Mobile local CBS station has tapped in to the city's public safety cameras. I am amazed there is still a good bit of traffic on the roads. I hope they all get where they're going soon.

Just think SirCane, over four months of hurricane season to go for all of us on the Emerald Coast...
I was more than a little surprised to hear that the Pensacola Civic Center was serving as a shelter again. It didn't fare so well during as I recall, and this storm may be exponentially worse for Escambia county.

The only good thing to come out of this is that maybe the cane will take the heat out of the Gulf so there will not be a repeat of this in this season. Then we will only have to worry about the east coast for the rest of the season.

If I recall, the main problem with the Civic Center was the air conditioners on the roof that tore off. I think they have been reenforced when they were replaced. However, I would not want to ride out a Cat 4 in a building with that profille. I am not sure how well it will hold up. Granted, I do not know how many buildings there are in the area that can withstand a direct hit by this storm.

Any reprieve would only be for a week or two. We are still very close to peak heating. By August, water temps will likely be back to where they were.

I hate to say it...believe me, I really hate to say it...but recent radar and satellite trends seem to point to a landfall somewhere between Gulf Breeze and Destin.
