Hope those in it's path make out ok.

My kids lived right there, Cape San Blas and Mexico Beach. The only
saving grace is the shoreline goes up fast from the beach. I could hit
a driver from their house in Mexico Beach to the Gulf and the vertical
rise was 60 feet or more. One big problem is US 98 is about 8' ASL and
it is prone to washing out, stranding people. If you are not close to
a road going up the hill you might be there a while. The cape itself
and a lot of Pt St Joe is probably going underwater as we speak.
