Posting from my phone so getting you a link is a bit of a pain, but if you look at a weather sat or radar image of the Pensacola area, you'll see what I am sitting under right now.

Apparently I 10 is closed from the state line to the 5 mile marker in FL. I'm sitting about the 8 or so. Moved about 500 yards in the last 3 hours.

Went through a cell on the other side of Pensacola that was pretty serious with winds across the highway strong enough to push the trailer of a truck in front of me clear into the left lane!

I can't seem to get any info on the Alabama side of the state line re: closing the freeway.

Ah well. Stay dry folks!
