My nephew is stationed at Tyndall Air base and he evacuated home to my sister’s house. We have seen the devastation in Panama City, which is right across the bridge, so his family is worried about how their home on base has fared. The only news my nephew has gotten is to not return to base because there is significant damage. I’m just happy his family is safe with us.

I saw aerial footage of Tyndall AFB this morning and it reminded me of what Homestead looked like after Hurricane Andrew.

I was 40 or so miles west of that mess. It was like sex with a fat chick. Just hang one cuz the ride is going to be bumpy.
Just got power back. A/C rules.
What kind of windspeeds were you seeing?
When the wind shifted as the 'cane passed us bout 50-60 and steady for about a 1/2 hour. This thing moved fast....which was good.
They just build that town last week? All the construction looks minty fresh. Even the road looks like it was just done.
@LilLamb, I hope the house made it through okay.
They don’t know yet , but have been told to expect the worst. Here is a flyover of the base damage.https://youtu.be/plUGQqJROJI
That's what I was hoping for when you told us you were going to batten down and ride her out. Did you see that drone footage upthread? There were a lot of houses swept off their foundations...just slabs left behind.
