Well, looks like it is shifting to the west a little, this one is starting to look real nasty. I like it when they come in the daylight, not midnight.
I'm in Jacksonville but my wife (she's not a native) has insisted we leave, so we're leaving later today. I'm more stressed about getting on the road and staying with the in-laws than the hurricane, lol.

You guys are smart to get out of Jacksonville, my youngest brother is in a second story apartment on the st. Johns River and I think he is going to ride it out. He has too many pets(birds, mostly), but I told him he was stupid and he needed to go to Tallahassee at least.

It ought to be fun going to work in the morning. ;D

I've talked to friends in Savannah and Bluffton,SC. They are all heading west. Most of the motels in the upstate of SC(Greenville, Spartenburg, etc.) are full or filling fast. I-26 from Charleston to Columbia, SC. and I-16 out of Savannah are westward travel only, even the east bound lanes.

Same here, Pat, mass migration from the east coast. The sad part is most will not have anything to go back too.

And it's turned to the west a little so we are going to get a little bit more then expected.

There are a few folks on the Florida South coast that plan to stay and "save" or "Protect" their property. It ain't worth it. My wife and I traveled to Charleston the day after Hugo hit in 1989 to bring supplies to a friend that lived there. The destruction was almost unbelievable. Hundreds of acres of planted pines snapped off 30' above the ground, live oaks totally defoliated and the tops twisted out and piles of boats of all sizes pushed up into giant mounds.
 The weather service just said it looked like the eye will not come ashore along Florida but stay just off shore.

Got lucky, it didn't make landfall last night and we got only a half inch of rain where I'm at and the wind wasn't real bad either. But it sure looks like Jacksonville and Savannah are getting pounded.

I think the food plots got watered in pretty good Eddie. They should have a good start in a couple of weeks.
 I haven't heard from friends in Savannah or Bluffton but if the water gets as high as they said(at 2am in the morning) the house I owned and lived in in Bluffton 26 years ago and our friends in Savannah will be partially under water. I know they evacuated but it will be a few days before I find out how they fared.  Fingers crossed.

Made it back last night, everything's fine at my place, seems the only casualty was an older quart of half n half, lol. Man, I'll tell you, I would rather have been at the beach than make that trip to Panama City and back in a van with a wife, two boys, three cats and a parrot ever again...
