Tropical Storm Fay

Just saw Jim Cantore on TWC at Panama City Beach (6:35 p.m. CST). It is not raining at all at Eastern Lake at this time. Winds did pick up about an hour ago from the north. At 5 p.m. waves on lake and gulf were fairly calm. Low tide was really low. Took a quick walk along the beach. Gulf seemed like it was being sucked out. Someone was even out in a kayak past the second sand bar in the gulf. Lake waves now are a few inches.

I sure hope jfunn, roving reporter, posts her on the scene report later. I was getting a blow by blow.

Uh oh...

We're in trouble now.

Jim Cantore is on location in PCB as we speak.

jim cantore time i would love to see him

Go stalk him jfunn, it would be funn thing to do on a Friday night.

The Bay is also being sucked out. It is as low as I've seen it in at least 12 months.

We were just out on the dock and can almost walk across the bayou. Where will the gators go tonight?

I wish Fay would relocate that bay about 360 miles north.

We had heavy wind gusts, but not enough rain to make me put the top up on the car.

I was told by the helpful folks at the substation today that the 331 Bridge is closed when sustained wind speeds reach 45 mph or when gusts reach 55 mph. We called from where I work since we had some employees that live north of the bay and we had to have reference for when to let them go home.

It is breezy, but no green pine cone bombs yet. I wish we could see the bay getting sucked out- that sounds like something!

So far it it has been a good excuse to cook dinner, get cozy, and chill.

I just gave jfunn a hot tip...told her to go interview you!

Hey SJ...we need pics!

It won't be very exciting. She needs to go stalk Cantore and get her face on TWC. I think I would laugh for hours if I looked up and saw her run across the screen right in front of him, and let Shooter jump up and lick him in the face.

I tried to talk her into going over to PCB. She is hunting for a playmate/assistant...maybe that will send her over the edge.

Kate is busy.:shock: No, better yet, she is sick. Stomach flu- yeah, that's it.

Did Kim get an earlier flight out?

I wish we were there to go with.

We would all end up in jail...count on it. But, first...we would get you a tattoo that says...Fay.

:funn:Gimme enough cocktails and I'd do it. Or maybe, we could make some friends in jail and get tatted for free.

...I really wish Kurt would come move all of our nonsense to the Storm Chaser thread. This is classic.

I am up for hurricane party!!!!! The Biatch spilt one of my beers, I am depressed and it is her fault!

Can I be your celly?

Hey Jimmie Boy.....:leaving:

Pics

Here's some pics from Stallworth on the West end of 30A. Notice that some people have put up storm shutters and even lowered the big metal doors. :roll: The double red flags are flying, but the Gulf is as flat and calm as I've ever seen it this late in the day.



Old Florida Beach, had to get sneaky since the TDC was shutting down beach accesses. Someone's gonna lose there stuff or cause some damage to someone's house. Unfreakingbelievably beautiful sunset though.



Okay the next few are of Blue Mountain Beach from a nice height, would have gotten more except that the wind was starting to really blow up that high.



Also got some video's.

No sound on the old camera phone. That last one of the double red flags was just comical since the gulf is almost glass flat.

the slowest moving storm ever...anyone seeing rain on the eastern end of 30 A yet? not a drop here yet...wierd...

No rain in Seacrest. Great time to go shopping. Inlet Beach Publix is open and empty!
Sunset at Grayton was great tonight. Awesome clouds. The sea was surprisingly flat.

Nothing here either and the weather channel's big story is now "watching the remnants". :funn: Time to get out the vodka and tonic.

Jim Cantore is currently in front of the Holiday Inn Sunspree, go for it jfunn!
