Hurricane Isaias headed my way it seems.

Posted by Seesthru, TC advisor on 10/7/2026, 7:21 pm

I spent the day getting some batteries. No gas or water. I'll fill up jugs at home and a big container at home. People were too busy fighting over water, ugh! I have a quarter tank of gas, and that's just fine. I don't plan on traveling, LOL!

I have snacks, and peanut butter for quick protein. Hopefully we won't lose power or water, but just in case, I'm ready.

I was thinking about you when I saw this on the weather channel. They said you could get 7 feet of water. Stay safe seesthru, I'll be praying for you.

Stay safe, seesthru. I hope that you don't lose power or water. I'm sorry that the water got snapped up and gas, too. That's so stressful. I really thought you'd lucked out this year.

Are you still in Pensacola? Are you staying where you are at or are you going to move to a safer area? The hurricane eye is going to go right over Pensacola.

Stay safe!

It should be okay

I'm still in Pensacola. I'm not worried about gas or water. I don't travel around after hurricanes if the power and red lights are out, so I don't need gas. I usually hang out at home after a storm, especially if red lights aren't working! I have water jugs and also buckets and storage containers to put water in.

We will hunker down and hopefully not lose power. But if we lose power, at least the nights will be comfy, and given the height of the ceilings here, the days won't be stifling!

So you don't need to worry about flooding and high winds?

High winds, yes. Flooding, not so much.

I'll squeeze me and birdies in the bathroom, as if has no windows and is my "safe" room. It's a tiny bathroom, but we can all fit.

Track shifted east, which is good.

The current forecast shows for me, winds not even Tropical storm force, and the shift east in track means I'm on the good side, no tornadoes.

The winds shouldn't get much above 45 if even that.

This is a dangerous storm, and I'm sad for those in it's path, but also relieved that Pensacola seems to have dodged a bullet. At least for now. Let's hope the weather folks are correct.

I hope so. Are you in an apartment now and in a high spot? I heard you could get 7' swells

I'm in an apartment, 1 story and it's in a high spot. My biggest worry is huge trees, but the wind direction shifted and the trees won't be a worry now.

Can you recommend a live cam near you?

beach cams... but I'm 20 miles north-northeast of there.

There are no live cams in my part of town. Navarre Pier live cam, where the storm is predicted to go ashore, is not working. It hasn't been working for a while. I used to watch it all the time. The Destin Ft Walton cam underwater is down, too. I love watching that one to see the fish.

Here is a youtube link to someone near navarre driving around in it.

and another

And one more

In case you want to watch it live.

I'm inland, so it's not quite s bad here. I do expect power to go out later. That means no internet or TV for me, LOL! I will have radio, though.
