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.’’

At 5 p.m. EDT, Earl was centered

You finally have your independence. Now you face a
lot of tough choices: what should I major in; how
should I spend my free time; who should I socialize
with; what classes should I take; what should I
believe? Many of the choices you make now will
determine the course of the rest of your life.
You may be far from home, but you’re never far from
God. Check out the article on the web:
