florida coastline is going to get phucked badly.

Yeah...My wife and I were up half the night, worrying about my daughter. She's going to school in Pensacola, and the hurricane looked like they were gonna get nailed. I talked to her a little while ago. She said it really windy and raining hard, but it appears they're not going to feel the full brunt of it. Flooding is still a concern, though. Prayers are definitely going out to Panama City and everyone else in the direct path. The poor Carolinas look like they're gonna get doused again as well. I hope any for forumites in the area get through it okay.

I have two brothers in Florida.  May they get through it safe. Please.
 
And of course other people as well.

My thoughts and prayers for all being affected...

My brother the (retired) tax assessor just returned home yesterday to Milton, just north of P-Cola, after being here for the funeral of our uncle.
His daughter posted something on FB this morning "I'm not ready for a direct hit! When is it going to turn left?" But it did turn left, so they're getting a lot of rain, as already mentioned.
Bracing for more rain here on Thursday. Hopefully not much wind.

Stay safe Greg and keep us posted.

The loss.... 

Another sad concern is people who don't have insurance coverage for this kind of damage and loss.  I really hope that is as rare as I think it is.  I can't imagine losing your home and all of your investment too.
