Hurricane Michael

Sending prayers to any of our posters in the Florida Panhandle/Big Bend area. It's looking like Michael will be a Cat 3 at landfall, and that's nothing to play around with. Wishing you all a safe passage through this one!

Thank you for this. I hadn't heard about Michael, but the current projection is that the cone will pass over the Carolinas before heading back out to the Atlantic. Hopefully, there's not a lot more rain.

Our City has sent a team from the Electric System to Florida in anticipation of downed wires and other issues. We were in FL last year for that hurricane, too. Our first responders from our Fire Stations also are sent for such disasters.

God bless those that are in the path of Michael and those that are on standby to rescue/assist those that need help. You are God's people.

The Carolinas will be getting a Tropical Storm as Michael loses steam after hitting FL. God help those people; we are still a mess here w/years of repairs.

BTW, don't know about anyone else around the US but our gas prices here just jumped 20 cents. Not the time to take advantage of evacuees.

You may want to fill up just in case the rigs are down for a time. I'm sure the price increase will spread if the storm is bad enough.

I can empathize after going through Irma last year. Our thoughts and prayers are with the folks in the pathway.

Stay safe, anyone in the path of this!

Haven't seen any posts from the poster with the numbers in her nic (15.....). I think she may be in this area?

@septemberI was wondering about her, too. I think she's on the Gulf Coast side of Fla. but I can't remember exactly where. She's not up in the panhandle, though. Further south - so she should be ok.

It seems it would be more stressful to be injured or killed ....but that's just me....

My son and daughter-in-law are in Pensacola. They can't leave ... she's an essential staff person at the local hospital.

Your prayers will certainly be appreciated ... thanks.

@SoX Does he get to shelter at the hospital, too? I remember it used to be the custom here for family members of essential hospital personnel to ride out the storm at the hospital. So many things have changed post-Katrina that I'm not sure they do that anymore.

@shoesnbags ...

Not sure, Shoes ... however, they have two dogs, so I'm pretty sure he's still at home with them.

From what I'm seeing on the forecast models, Michael is veering a little west of Penscola, more toward Panama City. Even though they may not take a direct hit, it's going to be pretty hairy with the storm surge.

And many of them will expect first-responders to jeopardize their own lives to rescue them...
