Earl heads for land the C Cl ar Thousands evacuate Gulf Coast region Wednesday as latest hurricane approach PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Thousands of people fled the Gulf Coast on Wednesday as Tropical Storm Earl strengthened into a hurricane and veered toward Florida with drenching rain and wind up to 100 mph. The storm center was expected to come ashore during the night somewhere around Panama City, then cut across Georgia and into South Carolina, with 10 inches of rain possible. A hurricane warning was post ed for about 320 miles of coastline, from Pascagoula, Miss., to a point near Tallahassee. Islands off Tallahassee were un der mandatory evacuation orders. Many people also left Santa Rosa Island, east of Pensacola, at the rec ommendation of condo and hotel managers, and a state park closed on St. George Island, connected to mainland by a single bridge. Evac uations were recommended in flood-prone areas elsewhere. TTaffic built up on coastal roads as people heeded the warnings. “We decided to run for higher ground,” said Eleanor Griffin, 70, of Dothan, Ala., who cut short a four-day family vacation on Santa Rosa Island. Gulf Coast Medical Center in Panama City canceled elective surgery, tested generators and sent non-essential employees home. Eglin Air Force Base sent 30 fighter jets to Oklahoma. Schools along the coast of Alabama and Missis sippi closed. Before strengthening into the third hurricane of the season, Earl had been moving almost due north across the Gulf of Mexico, and Texas and Louisiana seemed to be the targets. Early Wednesday, how ever, Earl took a sharp right turn to ward Florida. “It’s coming in so fast it’s almost too late to make a decision,” Rick Russell said as he left a Panama City Wal-Mart with a shopping bas “Earls’s not going to make landfall so much at a point as Earl’s going to slop up on the shore somewhere.’’ — Craig Fugate Florida preparedness chief ket full of batteries, water, milk and other supplies. At 5 p.m. EDT, Earl was centered about 100 miles southwest of Destin, and was moving to lit 5 to 10 mph.
