I need advice from you...
We have cottage reservations, flights, rental car, etc., all beginning this Sunday morning - - right when this t.s. will be upgraded to a hurricane with expected landfall somewhere thru the panhandle, give or take a couple hundred miles. We have the delimma of going ahead and canceling everything and loosing the $$$$$ (which is substantial) or waiting it out to the very last minute. I guess this is a "no brainer" but....
Stay safe to all of you there ~

The post from T. S. Dennis from Newman/Dailey was helpful
If you could continue to post any updates from Newman would be great as we all pray Dennis does not stop by for a visit.

kimbugBeach LoverNortheast Ohio190 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach LoverWhat advice do all the locals have for us tourists who are planning on coming down for vacation this upcoming week? I know that you have much bigger things to worry about like how to protect yourselves, family, property, etc...but if you can offer some words of advice I'd love it. My family and I are planning on leaving from Ohio tomorrow with an arrival to sowal on Friday afternoon. Anyone care to comment. Thanks.

phdphayBeach Fanatic297 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticSo, how does one decide when to board up? For us, it's not a matter of a last-minute decision. We are physically unable to do it ourselves (I mean, how many people are strong enough to carry a 50-pound piece of plywood in one hand and a drill in another hand up a 32-foot ladder?), so we need to make arrangements in advance to make sure the labor doesn't get tied up elsewhere. Any guidelines would be greatly appreciated.

They are at quite a few places. As of yesterday I know there are some at Seagrove Market, Grayton Market, Sally's Market.

To be on the side of caution, you might want to spend Friday night somewhere on the way down, north of Mississippi. If it's on the same track as it is now when you wake up Saturday morning, stay where you are.

Most people who do it already have a plan in place.
