Hmmm, looks like a Thursday landfall near Pensacola, even though it's tracking northwest right now.
Heade straight for Pensacola.
Gotta call my grandson down there. He works at the Winn-Dixie, and never listens to the news or weather reports.
East of Pensacola, around Destin and the Choctahachee Bay. Cool, if the forcasts stay on track it should roll right through my front yard.
Its so nice to get these hurricane things out of the way early in the season -- leaves so much more time for other pursuits.
Is this the same storm?
