Michael’s Northern Eye Wall Now Visible On Eglin AFB Radar
We are now starting to see the northern part of the eyewall on the NWS Radar out of Eglin Air Force Base (KEVX) at this point, and that means that it is only now 210 nautical miles south-southwest of Panama City, and about 193 miles southwest of Apalachicola, as of 8:55 PM.
With it being that close, we are now around 18 hours of the eye of this very dangerous hurricane making landfall somewhere between Laguna Beach to Port St. Joe. My guess at this point may be around the Tyndall Air Force Base.
The turn to the north-northeast and eventually to the northeast should occur within the next few hours. I do believe that we may have a category 4 storm by the next update that will be coming out at 10:00 pm CDT tonight.
