Sounds like the wind damage in Panama City, PCB, Callaway, Parker, Springfield, etc and surrounding areas and inland toward Marianna is severe and in some parts absolutely catastrophic.
Sounds like preliminary surge reports show it didn't reach projected heights but the wind certainly did.
Going to be a grueling next few months (if not more) in many of these areas.
My cousin is located between Callaway and Springfield. They have a good bit of damage to their house. Tree down on it. Roof gone in places. 1 mile away there's an older shopping center/strip mall that was completely leveled. Found the pictures on social media.
Tomorrow is going to reveal truly breathtaking damage. Going to be really tough times for awhile down there.
I can't imagine what Michael would've done if he had been a much larger storm of that same intensity. I don't even want to know. No doubt that he's going to change the future history and development of large swaths of Bay County. Very tragic.
I hope those of you on the board with family down there find that all are safe and well. And for those with property there, or that live there, you'll be in my prayers.
A truly unbelievable storm. From nothing to Cat 5* in just a few days.
*assuming it will receive a retrospective upgrade
