>>> Mbfly (me) will let y'all know tomorrow !! I'm quite convinced now that it will go over my house. Too bad it will be at night time; would love to take and send pics.
Ummmm...I am assuming you mean venturing out during the passage of the eye? Might not be a good idea...just me though.

If you run this satellite option on 48 hrs, it's now just as impressive as it was as a Cat 5 off western Cuba:

Can anyone tell me anything about the safety of Pensacola Christian College buildings? I have a daughter there. They have evacuated to lower level buildings, but are keeping the kids on campus. It looks like they are going to get slammed regardless of where this comes ashore.
I appreciate this site. This has been my best source of info for , Francis and now . I'm in Central Florida, about 15 miles south of where the turnpike and I75 meet, in Bushnell, so Francis came very close.
Just very worried about the daughter at college! Ginni in Bushnell, FL

Frank,
110 is plenty! That's about what Alica had in 1983, which was the only time I have been hit head one by a major hurricane. That was enough. You never seem to forget the noise, or the house shaking in the wind gusts...
The lat lon are taken from the Gibson Ridge GRW Level 3 software. I think that they are pretty accurate since they match up to the lat lon of the radar sites.
Just remember that I am not an official source of information - just an accountant taking his best guess!

This is the buoy I was thinking of in an earlier post when I was wondering how much these buoys can take. If it has not reported now for 2 hours, maybe a 42 ft wave was too much? Or one higher than that?
Update: it did report in, but it appears that the instrument that measures wave height is no longer functioning. Last hour the max wave height was 42 ft and the swells were 32.5. But remember this is out in the open water 64 nm from land.

I just looked at last report was 3:50 CDT, which was about 20 minutes ago. I think maybe it missed reporting in last time around, but caught up? I don't know how sophisticated the reporting features are, but they seem to be better than they used to be.

Frank if goes due N then the eyewall on the W side comes in at 88.6'.Me and you are roughly at 90' that's 24 miles from the eyewall that is going to be tough.The one good thing he's moving.
Got to add going to be a whole heck of alot difference than being on the E side.They will get hammered.

I sure hope so Phil, looks a real solid north right now with no westerly component... I can live with 88.3.... looks awesome on IR.... and any shift to the east as forecasted will only help out...just talked to my brother in Mobile, they're getting some good gusts... its still quite in Biloxi, tides about 3 feet above normal but surf is cool, something we don't have around here..
Yeah 110 mph is tough, but I've experience 170 plus with Camille, at least 120 to 125 with Elena, 90 to 100 with Georges... and there is NO comparison for me with north winds vs south winds.... .... I'll take that 100-110 north wind all night long as opposed to what poor Mobile will be getting...
I'll post as long as I can, with updates from my brother in Mobile....
