It started to gust about an hour ago. It's about 30 to 40. A good storm will pressure wash the whole shebang and the seashore should look immaculate by late morning. The sun is gonna shine and those nuts on the political forum will perhaps have just shut up for a while.

Just got the first truly scary, house shaking gust about a minute ago. Otherwise it's just wind and rain as usual.

Just got home from a friends house. Drove from Grayton to Seagrove lots of pine needles on the road and a few palm fronds. Drove down to see the beach and currently it's about half way up the beach. The pine trees are blowing pretty good, but no debris except for a skim board in the road.

A big yawn. At least we won't have to water this week.

Noisy out there! Everyone okay?
EDIT: It is really getting a lot noisier outside. I am scared, but Pepper is calm, so she is being a good Mommy for me.

Thanks for the updates. BR, you drove down alone to stay in the storm? Can you not rely on your managment company to batten down the house (not plywood the windows, but check the doors and outside furniture)? If not, I suggest youlook into hiring a local company or individual to do this for you. Lessen your stress level!

it's noisy & I can't sleep.

I am here for you.
Is your house shaking?Beach Fanatic
no - just tree branches & bushes hitting the house.

I can't tell if there's any limbs down, but it's been off and on with rain and wind. At one point I thought it was over and the bottom fell out again. So far not a single thing I can see from the porch has gone over.

A few gusts last night but nothing worse than a summer squall. It's been raining for about 12 hours now, some very dense and tropical. Light rain at the moment. The radar shows a smaller area of rain but it's not moving much.

Thanks y'all for the morning after report.

7:07am: Moderate rain, gusting to about 15 to 20. Lots of leaves down. It was a fairly brisk tropical storm. Can't wait to turn on the TV and hear non-stop about the other ones coming...(yawn...) I guess I get to sleep in.

The power went out around 12:45, but not for long. Biggest excitement was the phone ringing - the actors up the street needing flashlights and candles. Guess their tropical storm party went later than ours!
It looks like a wet day today. 3 1/2 inches in the rain gauge this morning.

What's it like today? Any morning-after news of note?

Hit here in SD at around 11pm - big wind gusts, pine cones flying into walls and bouncing off the roof, and big waves of rain. The area was a-buzz'n for a few hours. The house pets were all very alert and jumping around checking things out, looking for the critters making all that noise. (Which kept me up past 1. 
) All seems ok this am though. Lets hope that's the last of storm of the year!

Unfortunately, all the plastic toys in my yard are STILL in my yard. 
Lots of rain, but no real evidence of big wind at my house...except an overturned beer can.
Looks like it's just going to hang around over us and rain, and rain, and rain. I need one good break today so I can take the girls out and run them up the road a time or two...all their energy INSIDE the house is a recipe for disaster.
Hope everyone is safe today!

It is still quite overcast. At 8:17 a.m. CST just some sprinkles, but there is a lot of rain sitting off the coast. Will be curious how much of it comes in here along South Walton or drifts west toward Ft. Walton Beach and Pensacola. The big difference is the surf is up. Eastern Lake is up quite a bit, lots of salt water came in last night along with the rain. Will be curious what the "Surge" was. Probably not much, but enough to add depth to the entire lake. The outfall made some changes and continues to drift westward in its natural path. Wave action is still heavy. Fence along outfall continues to erode into the lake and be a hazard that someone has to dig out after every opening and certainly after every storm.

why is the fence there? (sorry if this has been discussed before...)

At my house, the wind whipped around a little bit last night and a light rain fell. Ground is wet, but all the limbs are still on the trees. Nothing to see here. Keep the line moving.

Just rain this morning in Seagrove. Little bits of wind. Kind of peaceful.
