Florida governor: 'You do not have a chance to survive' hurricane's predicted storm surge

23. Looking at radar and google maps....

looks like it took a weird last minute twist to the west and went in over Panama City with a roughly 5-mile dia. eyewall.

Probably ripping hell out of Tendall too, but they're likely better prepared than the general populace. This may be one for our record books when tornados are included. What do you think?

From CNN interview with NWS:

Michael will keep plowing through the Southeast as a hurricane, with winds topping 73 mph as it crosses into Georgia.
"Because of the forward movement -- the decent forward movement it has -- you're going to see a hurricane stay intact through southwest and central Georgia," Long said.

"And then you're going to see rainfall through South and North Carolina, dumping 4 to 6 inches of rain in rivers that are already saturated and haven't really receded much from Florence a few weeks ago."

Years ago, I stayed in a motel in Mexico Beach facing the ocean during a service job in Port St. Joe. It's so small, I fear they're going to have massive damage, along with many other white sand beaches in that area.
