Cat 3, thank goodness. Storm is getting very near making a complete landfall. Not much that can still be said about this one, other than God speed to those in its path.

You've got to remember, first you had clearing out a lot of the weaker obstacles last year, and second you have much newer, stronger utility infrastructure as a result. Last year we lost power almost 18 hours before , and only two hours before Jeanne.
Stay safe.

FIrst 70-75 mph wind gust in P-Cola tries to blow reporter (not sure who... didn't look like Cantore, but maybe) over.... I won't start on my thoughts here...
... but, I will add that I hope everyone from here in that area is smarter than these bozo's on television. My prayers are with you, keep safe!

I live in Gulf Breeze Proper. Got out and headed to my moms in Mobile yesterday. Just wacthing the and see this looks like it made landfall in my backyard. Right now conditions in west Mobile are a bit windy but not bad. Some rain but not torrential. If anyone is from Gulf Breeze and still has internet access and reading please give me an update for that area. I live less than one mile from GBHS football field. Lastly, good luck to whoever stayed for this thing.

Actually... I gained a little respect of with their forcasting. One guy on Mobile actually got on and said that "this was nothing" compared to what is happening to the east. Jeff Morrow is getting some great footage. On Fox, you know these guys are upset that the eye isn't hitting them, so they play up tropical storm force "gusts" as much as they can. This is why some people think hurricanes are "no big deal".

Wow Pcola really was ground zero. Such a localized area of high winds.

From what I can tell from Pcola's posts, I think the location is somewhere on the point of land between Garcon Point and Santa Rosa Island, maybe in the oriole beach area but on the backside near the Garcon Point Bridge. If Pcola is still on, is this close?
