Grayton friends, what a season it's going to be. I'm getting pretty sick of worrying about all these storms. My family has waterfront property, even worse low lying dune lake front property. We have been through many of these. If it hits at a category three we will for sure get water. Our house is five feet above sea-level; 12 foot storm surge, do the math. But that's what insurance is for. You can't worry about things that can be replaced. I worry about the beach, the dunes, wildlife, the people. Here are a few possible predictions from my experinence. First we might not get a direct hit, maybe Mobile. We would be better off with it hitting t the east of us, the water-storm surge is alot worse if it hits to the west of us. A common trend is when the storm is two to three days away and is very powerful it will likely weaken. If it weakens early in the gulf it might strengthen before it gets to us. Hurricane Opal was a category 4-5 a day before it hit as a 3. So I think were better off with it being more powerful now. Good luck to all of you down there, think positive. Hey locals if it does enough damage it might lower property values and run all the tourists out.
A positive ?? Some of those inland areas in the path need the rain.
