Actually could be birds caught in the eye of the storm. Same thing happened in Michael.

Remote camera from hurricanetrack.com and Mark Sudduth shows water already entering Cameron, La. It is just beginning.

KPLC TV in Lake Charles will be evacuating and WAFB TV in Baton Rouge will be broadcasting for them. The met at KPLC told his viewers if they are foolish enough to stay to have a sledgehammer or crowbar so you can get out of your house.

90 mph and 978 mb . NHC calling for 120 mph before landfall

Eye is pushing water straight into Amelia. I have friends there too and in St. Simon's which is also going to be severely flooded. Georgia coast is one of the areas most prone to storm surge in the U.S. The coast is nearly all brackish marshes and low barrier islands. WJXT just reported flooding of homes in South Jax Beach. Also one hotel has been flooded by storm surge.

Major surge damage being reported from St. Augustine to Fernandina Beach/Amelia Island into St. Mary's, Georgia. NWS Jax has a flash flood emergency for Fernandina/Amelia.

Here is a link to Brevard County evacuation plans. http://www.brevardcounty.us/emergencymanagement/preparedness

Storm surge from Brevard to Jax will be very substantial. Might even approach record levels for that section of the peninsula. Still a heavily populated area even though not like Broward or Dade. Inland watches are being initiated for Orlando too.

0z gfs sure wants to crash ashore.
