Wave Height (WVHT): 25.3 ft

Station 42039 - PENSACOLA - 115NM East Southeast of Pensacola, FL

Wind Gust (GST): 56.3 kts
Wave Height (WVHT): 28.5 ft

Storm has moved 4 degr. to the East, headed towards Navare/Mary Ester/Ft.Walton beach area. 15'-19' wave surge, be careful everyone.

It's a nasty cat 4 storm and is about to pummel Pensacola and area. They're just barely rebuilding from Ivan. My heart goes out to those folks.

Here, it's been quite windy, gusts to about 50 or 60, lots of rain, and a good 3 to 4 foot storm surge. Our street's underwater and a lot of houses look like they're flooded.

I second that cigdaz. I think we all in St. Pete feel lucky/giulty and feel for those poor folks i n the panhandle. Where in St. pete are you? Hope the water stays outta your place.
