Props to those at WJHG TV in Panama City Beach in which the news anchors made a reference to Brian Norcross talking people in the Miami through Hurricane Andrew and will talk people in the northwest Florida area through the hurricane.

He's firing another round of hot towers and looks to be making another go at wrapping it in and strengthening. Whether he makes it to Cat 5 or not is purely academic at this point. He's an absolute monster and this is historic. This is going to be a storm we talk about for decades to come.

You can't help but feel nauseous.

Saw an extrapolated pressure reading of 925.7 mb on the latest air force recon. Pressure still getting lower.

I really don't think any of us know what the impacts are going to be at this point other than it is going to be historic in a very bad way. There's just not much we can use to make a comparison.

I believe any chance to weaken or lessen impacts is over. Only mitigation now is landfall location and even then that difference will be two varying degrees of pure hell.

It will probably be hard to parce out the wind damage from surge on smaller structures. Similar to the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Katrina.
