looks like the resorts closest to landfall (all in panama city) are:

Marriotts Legends Edge
Holiday Inn Bay Point
Sterling Beach Resort
Summit resort
Casa Blanca Resort
Ocean Towers Beach Club
Wyndham Panama City
Panama City Resort and Club
Escapes! Tropical Breeze
Emerald Isle
Landmark Holiday Beach


destin was about 50 miles away and has a number of resorts as well, but hopefully didnt bear the brunt of this!

I am just praying now that this storm kept moving at its current speed/pace and out to sea.

My heart goes out to all. I am hoping folks recover but with a Cat 4 landfall it does not look good for the Panhandle. Video I saw earlier on Weather Channel is shocking...especially in Mexico Beach where i have visited. At risk of being seen as political...I really think we need to push for more tax money going to FEMA. Or else make our well -funded military take on rebuilding efforts. Which fed govt dept or agency rebuilt infrastructure and public buildings in Iraq and Afghanistan? Mexico Beach looks like a bomb hit it...like a war zone.

Panama City and The Panhandle looks like a war zone. The City and The surrounding areas
looks liked B52’s bombers have dropped bombs after bombs in less than 24 hours.

I truly hope its not as bad as the news stories show...I keep seeing the same footage of the tiny town of mexico beach from different angles strung together over and over to make it look like miles and miles of coastline and neighborhoods were just wiped out vs that tiny town.

Certainly damage along the coast everywhere, but I hope and pray that its not as terrible as it looks across that large an area (and inland)
