[Landlocked]

Cuba's about to get popped pretty good.

I'll bet Fidel's cigar doesn't even get wet.

Just a thought. During Ivan everyone kept asking Kurt for damage reports (me included) on their specific properties. If Dennis does hit and Kurt is in the area immediately afterwards(with power) maybe he could lock a thread at the top of the forum with general reports by community or neighborhood. We are all anxious, but it is alot to ask Kurt to be looking at specific properties. Kurts post Ivan reports last year helped us keep our sanity. Kurt be safe and again thanks for this vehicle of information.

If anyone has property in the Gulf View Heights area or the Pelican Circle / Whites Gulfview area give me an email and lets start an email chain to facilitate the sharing of information this weekend. Paula - I believe your houses are not too far from Whites Gulf View.

FYI - We have asked next week renters to delay their plans. We have committed to boarding our houses today and tomorrow. Has anyone else started boarding or are you waiting???

Good idea. I'll try to keep the number of threads down. I believe we'll have a lot more local help this time, if we can all get online.

Patience, patience.

Have you purchased a generator since Ivan?

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ is good. Also http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tracking/at200504_model.html. Looks like it's shifting east. GO EAST, DENNIS, WAY EAST!

OMG! People are already getting surly at the gas stations. We just filled up, thanks to this message board.

Like to France, maybe..

Rental companies are asking, advising, requiring renters to leave today. WaterColor has told people to leave. It seems like a lot of people already have, Publix was pretty quiet just now.

Look for mandatory evacuations of low lying areas and people with special needs to come any time now.

The following gas stations still have gas in Walton County:

Freeport:
Shell Station - 835-2015
Corner Hwy 20 and Hwy 331


De Funiak Springs:
B P Station - 892-9679
1302 Hwy 331

Tom Thumb-892-5091
Intersection of 331 and Hwy 90

Paxton:
J & K Grocery - 834-5621
7575 U.S. Hwy. 331 N

Tom Thumb- 850-834-2216
22520 Hwy. 331 N.

I have a few cozy books to keep my sanity, but I am almost certain that my cable modem or power will be out. Those of you who asked me to check on your houses, I will give you reports when it is possible. In the mean time, stay dry and try to relax. Pop a Guiness for me.
