Just under a Category 5 - those wind speeds are absolutely crazy. I'm very glad this is my last hurricane season in MS. Good luck, everyone.
Thank you everyone with their thought for my family. Wilderness lodge have extended their stay until Friday for now but any longer they have to do day by day so it not guaranteed - they are looking at possible alternative to get home ie flights from Miami but the concern is getting there really so not sure what they will do.
Just as an aside in WL they have all restaurants open right now and facilities (indoor ones) are all open.

I have a buddy who works at NOAA that has been part of the tracking of this. Basically said this thing is MUCH worse than anything he anticipated 2 days ago. He was initially only concerned with rain and storm surge, but the shift has added wind in as a major concern as well. Anyone down there, please listen to all the advisories and stay safe. As much as Disney takes heat around here, I know (at least historically, and no reason to think it's changed) they do a great job keeping everyone safe and provided for during hurricanes.

My brother lives in Cape Coral and I haven't been able to contact him. I hope he had the presence of mind to bug out early on. This is scary.

Posted on Facebook from someone currently at Pop. Contents of the bagged lunch. They were still able to order a regular breakfast from the food court.

Any photos from the resort preparations? Only thing I saw so far were 2 trash cans tied together with rope.

I'm at Riverside right now. The line for the check in desk is all the way to the center lobby. There's an hour wait for the food court. Chip and Dale just showed up.

If they couldn't get out of town before the storm, that's probably the best place for them given all the tree damage Ft Wilderness is likely to see during this storm.

My in laws in Naples texted this morning to say the eye was past and they still had intermittent power... a few trees down and some flooding on the golf course they live on but so far, so good for them. They live inland enough to not have to worry about storm surge, at least in regards to damage to their home. I will be anxiously watching the storm all day, feeling right now like our Sunday arrival is questionable. Continued prayers for everyone's safety in the path of the storm!

You know what's funny?
Hopefully no one is actually staying in those. No way you want to be in an RV with hurricane force winds.
I hate to tell you but the eye has not passed yet,
That’s the satellite image from 12:40z (8:40 am) landfall is still over an hour away.

I don't want to LOL but this is such a classic text from my in laws... of course they would think it is past when it isn't, lol! Oh boy. Well, I'm hoping they stay safe and get better at watching the news.

I think they are confused. It’s not there yet and they will lose power most likely
