Thanks for the pings, been so busy I am behind on this one, just taking the time to catch up now.

Prayers up for all in the path; take heed!

Michael continues to strengthen...

Michael's steady intensification over the past 48 hours in the face
of 20-kt westerly shear defies traditional logic...

This thing has moved a little closer to me since I last looked.

The radar loop at the top of the thread shows the storm track shifting back and forth a little bit. It's been consistently staying in the FL panhandle, from Panama City to Apalachicola.

Tropical storm wind field is 175 miles from the center since Monday morning. Hurricane wind field 30 miles.

Nice touch with Message to Michael. ;o)

Love your tagline.
Thanks for all your info.

Have many family members in Pensacola and Destin. They are all elderly and I worry about them.

Hoping they have local assistance to prepare for the storm with limited time.

[Islander7]

Thanks for keeping us informed.

My nephew is due to be married on Ft Walton beach Friday. Please pray that there is a Ft Walton beach Friday. He and his bride to be are from Tennessee. They are not listening to reason.

[NautiNurse]

The happy couple may be disappointed if their FWB hotel is evacuating guests for the storm. Hopefully, they have called ahead.

[DocRock]

If the infrastructure survives the storm, there will be no power, store shelves will be empty as will the gas tanks. The entire county is under mandatory evacuation orders. They probably won't be allowed in by law enforcement. They need a ‘plan B’ for their wedding.

[numberonepal]

At least they have an easy name for their first son. LOL.
