At this point Baudelaire there is no official guidance from Okaloosa County. According to the school board's website the county stood down from emergency mode sometime today. At last report this morning Hurlburt Field had opted not to evacuate aircraft. I'm a little concerned that any shift eastward could bring the fringes of the windfield over our way, and catch more than a few of us on the Panhandle off-guard. Time will tell I suppose.




Hurlburt website says HurriCon 3 declared yesterday I think, no update beyodn that. Eglin at HurriCon 4 still as of last update. I didn't know Okaloosa EOC every got activated - thought that usually did not happen until watch/warning was posted. Since one now HAS been posted, EOC may be activated tomorrow at least partially. I'm MORE than a little concerned that any shift eastward could bring more than just fringes of the windfield over our way. Having said that, it may not continue this way at all - too early to say.
