As of now the storm is forecast to pass to the the east of us in the Big Bend area of Florida, and come ashore as a major hurricane. It's still a couple of days from making landfall, so it's too early to tell the effects on SoWal.

Every year the forecasts get more dire, the coverage starts earlier, the headline font bigger and bolder, and that cone hundreds of miles wider. Gotta love the media. Pray for Georgia too as the entire state is in the path of the eye.

We're you around for Michael? There is a reason for the increased awareness. When Helene gets in the Gulf, things may start occurring very quickly.
 
The National Hurricane Center has upgraded Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine to Tropical Storm Helene. Helene is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane by Wednesday morning as it slips between Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula and western Cuba and enters the Gulf of Mexico. Helene is forecast to strengthen into a major hurricane as it approaches Florida's Big Bend region later in the week.

Thread title updated.

October 10, 2018, a Wednesday afternoon as I recall. I was in Freeport, Windswept Dunes. We got off easy compared to just a short drive east of us. Never seen anything like it, and I grew up in Biloxi.

This short recount of Hal Summers in Mexico Beach, always stuck with me.

Full playlist of other accounts and footage of Michael for the weather geeks among us. :)
