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 ~

We're in Chattanooga and postponing our trip that was to be starting tomorrow. :bang: Can probably be down as soon as all is clear.

A good source of information is the Seaside radio station 107 FM-

If they lose power, they will still be on internet stream:

http://www.30aradio.org

They are giving frequent updates from Emergency Management on traffic, gas, etc. and good links to weather updates. We are just keeping it on the computer all weekend. (Windows Media Player.)

Everyone stay safe and after the storm let us know what we can do to help out when we get down there. Appreciate this board!!!

Thanks for posting. I never knew this existed.....GREAT!!!!!

I am getting this error message when I try to use my Windows Media Player. Anyone else having problems?

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network error occurred. The server might not be available. Verify that you are connected to the network and that your proxy settings are correct." I have verified that everything is correct.Oh, well just wondered if anyone else was having problems.

Well, I have to admit I'm awful at picking a good user name, so I used what we do at the beach,
take the 'tiny trailer' to the camground, ride the 'tandem' while the 'dog trots' along beside...

...and I wanted the longest user name on the board :laughing1

If there is anyone trying to get out of town, I have a hotel room at the Heart of Auburn in Auburn that we are not going to be using. It's for Saturday and Sunday night if anyone would like to take it. I'm assuming they may start filling up so I wanted to give anyone here a chance to snatch it up before I release it.

This may be an ignorant question, but how does dennis measure up to ivan? Or is it too soon to tell? On another note we are en route to jacksonville and hit no traffic from 30a to 20 where we hit tallahassee. It's steady, but moving in tallahassee. Eveyone please stay safe!!!!

The last 5 hurricanes to hit within 60 miles of Pcola were all cat 3, which is the forecast for Dennis. Time will tell. As expected he weakened over Cuba, and is expected to strengthen over the open gulf. He may then weaken again near the shore as Ivan did.
