Kind of like what Captain Barker said above, the only thing that would worry me would be if I was working or whatever down here and lived north of the bridge, in the event the winds caused EOC to close the bridge. If I still lived north of the Bay, I'd be chomping at the bit to go home, because I have crossed the bridge with much lower winds and had trouble keeping it on the road. I can't imagine going across with sustained 40+.

This one doesn't worry me (famous last words). I just wish it would hurry up and get on with it before it gets dark.

update - Dr. Steve Lyons just said "weakening" :roll:

Here's how Tropical Storm Claudette's rainbands look at about 5 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 16, 2009 from the beach at Eastern Lake looking east toward Panama City Beach. We had some rain earlier. It is low tide and lake is barely closed.

I drove down by myself to make sure that windows and doors are locked and pool/patio furniture is secured.

Now I am hungry. Pizza Bar is closing and Barefoot BBQ doesn't answer the phone. I am skeered! I cleared out the junk in the garage so I can protect the car.

According to the hurricane guy on TWC, the storm appears to be weakening.
