I have spoken to my parents in the Marianna area and they were to the east of the storm north of Panama City. They said the rain is pretty thick at times and they did get wind. There are of course the usual flood potentials because of previous rains and the Chattahoochee and Blountstown Rivers routinely flood after large storms. All in All it was a definite "God" thing that this storm decided to wind down as it made landfall. That is not to say that people in general will not suffer from costs for emergency management. People who due to finances and other reasons are forced to live in sub-standard housing for hurricanes are suffering in shelters. All in All a terrible storm has been less terrible than it could have been for Florida due to fine forecasting and the willingness of people to act on good advanced notice.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center
