[mrjamie]

let's start here.

[DYLAN FEDERICO]

Idk about you guys. But I plan on staying.

[nem1987]

I am also staying. Woke up about 7 this morning and headed to the store and got everything I needed.

It's certainly looking better for Pensacola today. I just wish I knew what we can expect here...I know, it's too early to tell... The last couple of days have taken a toll on my patience...

I don't think it'll be that intense of a hurricane to evacuate for, at least in the metro area. If you're outside of levee protection, then yes, it would probably be smart to leave.

LOL
SFMR instruments show 103 knot winds at surface, they were quickly flagged.

Evacuate/not to evacuate is a very personal decision. Myself, after riding the night of Hurricane Cindy, a very minimal hurricane, I swore anything anticipated stronger than a Cat. 1 and I'm outta here.

Exactly what i did! I'm good to go!

[nolasim]

So judging by the pro-staying comments, we are not buying into last night's "bomb" intensification?

[cobdenp]

We got up early and went to wal-mart it was very hectic here in slidell. We are staying too.

[Deleted]

Its more a matter of can't afford to go anywhere. Not to mention first hurricane for me since I was a little kid.

They take that VIPIR too literally. They really should use the global models for their forecast...


Chris was showing all models, global and VIPR. He was really doing a good job .... just saying what VIPR was doing, too.

TWC now talking to the NWS dude in New Orleans.

[sjbpgal]

Would like to leave but finances are really tight right now. Plus my mom is disabled.

I wrote a nice comment on their facebook page about this, I am sure is going to get deleted.
