Everybody OK in Northern Florida?

I know we have a lot of 986 buddies in the Hurricane State. Best of luck to all of you facing Hermine. Keep that damn immobilizer dry!

I'm there where I-75 and I-10 cross in north FL, so far so good just lots of steady rain. The main part is supposed to hit sometime overnight and I'm hopeful it will slide by and the power will remain on .

Callahan, FL (20 miles NW of Jacksonville near the FL/GA border on the 95)

Got my swimming pool filled up for free. Boxster is in the garage, rear window stitching decided it was time to start to fall apart. Window falling out in the corner. Time for a new top.

Power is back on and even saw some sun. Hopefully it loses steam as it heads North, it looks like it is a lot smaller now than it was before...

In the central Carolinas 3 hours from the coast we are at 4 inches and climbing with another 11 hours of rain predicted. Only Wednesday they were watering the golf course.

I'm in Destin, about 1/2 hour of light rain in the afternoon...that's absolutely all we got. Some rough waves in the Gulf and 15 knot winds. Sun came out the next day.
