Schools closed across Northern FL.

We missed this cell. Luckily it played out before it got to my neighborhood.
With the exception of a few light showers, it looks like we are in the clear now.
The wind has really picked up in the last 30 minutes.

Three Nader warnings in Mobile County, two headed towards Baldwin possibly

Damn... I've got a leak by the back door of the bedroom where it goes out on the top deck. I think I'm going to have to build an awning over the tops of both of those doors. They both leak in water at the threshold, and then it leaks down onto the first floor.

Praise the Lord for all this rain!

Pretty nasty all night down here in Milton. Pretty sure my power is out up in Evergreen. It woke me up around 3 am and boy was it howling. Looks like the last line full of red just passed me going to do the yard/house check when it gets a little lighter and rain winds down.

89mph wind gusts here in Destin a short while ago. Apparently some gas station pumps have been ripped out of the ground here. Also apartments in Panama City apparently gone.

Hope everyone was safe… I just prayed and went to bed last night..

I am in Pace and did not hear much at all. Of course I had just made it back home from a 2 day drive and was sleeping like the dead. Nothing got blown around in the yard though.

Looks like Panama City got hit pretty hard.

Got some roof damage at the farm… waiting on the rain and wind to break so I can fix it. Minimum compared to some I’ve seen..

My firewood stacks look like a low end trailer park after a tornado. Tin scattered everywhere. Will wait until after this next roll comes in to clean it up.

Dang, I was going to go down there one day this week.

Pirates Cove Marina got hit hard. https://www.wjhg.com/2024/01/09/buildings-thomas-drive-demolished-after-morning-storm/

It woke me up twice - once was a power blip I think around midnight and it sounded like just storms. Again at 3 am and it was blowing like crazy, sounded like a freight train. I don't really have much down around me just leaves, sticks and a million acorns.

My home town of Cottonwood took a direct hit from a tornado. Its a mess.

Panama City beach took a licking based on pics/vids I've seen. Looks like a nader to me.

I am very thankful for all the rain, our creeks are running for the first time since summer. I've got a tree down in edge of yard, and sure more on farm, but blessed. Praying for all that have damage.

DoA is out on the drillship at work in the Gulf and a tad west of the AL/MS line due south (I don't know how many miles), but Sunday he had said they were expecting 23' waves out there. This morning about 5:30 they were having 84 mph winds out there. That is a whole lot more sporty than I would care to experience!
