Approaching storm could be worse than Ida, forecasters say | storm, coast, winds - News - Northwest Florida Daily News

A powerful winter storm will blast across Northwest Florida on Tuesday night and Wednesday bringing torrential rains, gale-force winds and storm surges comparable to a tropical storm.
Weather forecasters expect the cyclone, which is taking shape off the Texas coast, to produce rainfall totals as high as 8 inches in some parts of the Panhandle. Winds along the coast could gust to 40 mph, and a 5-foot storm tidal surge in the Pensacola area is possible....

At least my house is at a stage where the wind can blow! Hope all will be well with the beaches and other properties around the area. Crossing fingers for all. Thxfor the heads up!

Wow, those surf and surge reports are looking impressive. At least the beach is picked up near us. Wonder if TDC will be pulling in the trash cans this afternoon? Some red warnings and watches have popped up a few times on various stations. Guess we'll just have to see how it comes in. I hope we don't get over 40mps winds and worry about the bridges being closed. Regardless, tonight and tomorrow morning would not be a good time to be hauling loosely bundled items across the 331 bridge, imo. I've been on the bridge in moderate winds before and had to dodge debris, hay bales, etc. blown off and creating a hazard in middle of road.

Wonder if AT&T will use this as another delay tactic for our 3G in the area?

There is an inflatable Nativity scene in our neighborhood. Guess it can also be used as a raft in case of a big flood.

In that case, they really should have two of any donkeys or other animals in order to really double for the Noah thing.

You might get to see baby Jesus fly.

Just saw two TDC trucks go by and pick up trash bags off the beach at Eastern Lake access. Our wind is still from the north.
