Not surprised.  It will be a while before he can get word out     Hopefully he is ok. 

Jim Edds is safe. He was in Hope Town on Elbow Cay, and measured 911.2 minimum pressure. Hope he got some footage.

Some of the structure/defoliation on these videos coming out of Abaco is incredible. At first glance, the structural damage doesnt look too bad, but you gotta keep in mind that this is the Bahamas and this type of damage is being done to rigorously built structures specifically designed to withstand major hurricanes. That is what makes this impressive to me.

Look at the flipped cars here, just from the wind - https://twitter.com/julmisjames/status/1168217300887117825?s=20

Gusts over 200!!! I have some serious concerns for Josh!

I think Jim Edds is in an even more precarious position. He's in the Hope Town Inn on Elbow Cay, the spit of land to the east of Marsh Harbor.

Huh? Are you sure you're not watching them replay old footage?

sorry, my stream was an hour behind - so sorry

Huge wedge TOG on kfor.com just to west of Magnum.

On kfor.com right now, large barrel-shaped tornado heading right toward Mangum.

Miami fire and rescue in Mexico Beach told CNN reporter on the ground that they didn't want to discuss a death toll but that it didn't look good.

Maybe that'll get rid of troll.

I had devices recording air pressure in 2 hotels in Panama City. BLUE min was 939.7 mb at 12:45 pm in W eyewall. BLUE did not get in eye. BLACK min was 923.2 mb at 12:44 pm, in W edge of eye. That’s 16.5 mb difference over ~3.7 n mi. Sick inner core gradient. #Hurricane #MICHAEL

Post-storm video of Mexico Beach

The man whose house Brett Adair took shelter in was watching Brett on Facebook. The owner had evacuated, boarded up his house and is interviewed here -

YIKES! While in #Michael's eye wall, Tyndall AFB reported wind gusts of 119-129 mph for TWENTY minutes straight until the weather station went offline. #flwx

Is there any chance he survives? Where was the higher ground near his location?

They were next to houses and I'm pretty sure they got inside one. Last shot I have when the feed went out is the white siding of the house so it was still standing as of 2 minutes ago.

Camera is STILL on, sound of rushing water, wind, car not under water I dont think because black debris gets blown on window occasionally

It did a 180.

And you could see the house is still there - hopefully they got inside

I think they got in because I'm not hearing them talk anymore.

Wow, Brett Adair has some balls.

He finally admitted they're in trouble from the surge. They're trying to get into a house to get some elevation, is that right?

Mayor of Mexico Beach just on CNN - 280 people ignored evacuation order and have stayed behind.

That doesn't sound like a good idea without having a prior idea of where to find adequate shelter. I don't see any parking garages on Google. Mexico Beach will likely be ground zero based on current trends....

Brett is talking on the live stream. He's going to Port St Joe where there's a parking structure with 25 ft elevation. He better start driving soon though.

Is the frictional effect of the land and the shape of the coastline causing the core to tighten and strengthening the storm?

Seeing on social media that lots of people are riding it out in high rises along the beach in the Panama City area. With all the focus on the surge they think they're safe high up, but those winds....
