My family is from the Florida Panhandle and SW Georgia. I have been in contact with many as Michael has come ashore. It is nasty for them and most are in rural areas that the majority do not care about. Pictures of trees on houses, shingles coming off roofs. Loss of carport and garage as well as houses food g. please pray for these people as most are solid conservatives.

We are in south GA. It is a little to the west of us, but has not passed us yet. We are getting damage here in Lake Park, GA. A tree down across the street with power on that side. The trees are swaying crazily. I went outside to examine the fallen tree...I’d come home from work, sick, took a nap, and the fallen tree is in front of the neighbors to our left side.

I live in Louisiana, and I may have been affected by Hurricane Michael.

I use a WiFi HotSpot (portable) and apparently Verizon crashed about 25 minutes ago.

It is working now.

This is the only time that this WiFi hotspot has had a RED LIGHT - indicating it cannot reach the Verizon network.

I live across the street from two CELL Towers, so interference is not a problem...

Interesting - the original headline for your post:

“Michael and North Florida, Alabama & Tennesee”

The current headline on your post:

“Michael and North Florida, Alabama, Tennesee & Georgia”

Looks like some moderator must care about Georgia.

Don’t want conditions from Michael to hurt GOP voting in the Florida panhandle in a few weeks.

georgiarat, lifting up in prayer those that are affected. May the Governor already have in place assistance ready at the go for afterwards. May Pres Trump have the Governmental Agencies ready to assist those in the affected states.

Just got an update from CNN - a Waffle House in southern Georgia turned off the lights and evacuated. That means it’s pretty bad out there. (Not a joke - I heard it just prior to hitting the mute button.)

Having gone through Katrina, I have been saying some prayers for them ever since Michael reached Cat # - I can imagine what they are going through and it makes my heart ache for them....the clean up and rebuilding keep the pain alive for a long time.
