Hurricane Warning Day #5, Early Morning: Storm Moves Closer PANHANDLE PREPS FOR NASTY OLIVIA Early Tues. Morning, October 4, 2012 Pensacola Beach Tribune PENSACOLA BEACH- Hurricane Olivia raced toward the northeast Gulf Coast late Tuesday, packing deadly Category 3-strength winds and heavy rain. The storm is expected to hit late this afternoon somewhere from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. A hurricane warning is now in effect, including the Pensacola Beach and Pensacola areas.

Hurricane Warning Day #5, Early Morning: Storm Moves Closer PANHANDLE PREPS FOR NASTY OLIVIA Early Tues. Morning, October 4, 2012 Pensacola Beach Tribune Olivia has challenged forecasters at every turn. First the storm changed course to move away from the United States, then on Monday it turned back northward. To top it off, yesterday the storm's northeast pace quickened from 11 mph to 21 mph within hours. The faster speed has pushed up the landfall time from midnight to this afternoon, forecasters said. That gives local residents less time to clear out, if they choose or are ordered to leave. Olivia also grew from a moderate category-one hurricane to a dangerous category-three storm. That means its winds increased from 80 miles per hour yesterday morning to 120 mph this morning.

Hurricane Warning Day #5, Early Morning: Storm Moves Closer PANHANDLE PREPS FOR NASTY OLIVIA Early Tues. Morning, October 4, 2012 Pensacola Beach Tribune "By far this is the biggest storm this year for Florida," says Joe Myers, the state director of the Division of Emergency Management. "It's the biggest storm for Florida since Hurricane Andrew." The categories are based on a hurricane rating system called the Saffir/Simpson scale. A category-one storm has winds of 74 to 95 mph and damages trees and weak structures. A category-three storm, however, packs winds that can damage many buildings and causes extensive coastal flooding or "storm surge." This storm surge can destroy buildings along the coast.

Hurricane Warning Day #5, Early Morning: Storm Moves Closer PANHANDLE PREPS FOR NASTY OLIVIA Early Tues. Morning, October 4, 2012 Pensacola Beach Tribune Residents weary of the overactive 1995 Atlantic hurricane season embarked on what has become routine practice of boarding up their homes, some still leaking from Hurricane Erin. Erin slammed the Pensacola area two months ago. State officials, however, are worried that Olivia's rapid strengthening might catch some off guard.

MEMORANDUM City of Pensacola Beach Tourism Center To: The Mayor From: Dean Dungaree, City Tourism Director Regarding: General Island Facts, Hurricane Worries I just wanted to let you know my feelings about this hurricane! I am worried that we will end up frightening our tourists if we make a big deal about this storm. I say we should let people make up their own minds. I know that you know the basic facts: Our island has the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. Our island is a tourist hotspot! A bridge connects our island to the city of Pensacola. Visitors love to come here to fish, swim or just sit on the beach.

MEMORANDUM City of Pensacola Beach Tourism Center To: The Mayor From: Dean Dungaree, City Tourism Director Regarding: General Island Facts, Hurricane Worries A lot of people here have already been through one hurricane--Hurricane Erin. That storm picked up strength so quickly that there wasn't time for everyone to get out. Sure, the storm frightened some of those people, but others thought it was great. Yes, there was some damage--the winds reached 85 miles per hour. But some local residents rode out the storm then, and they can do it again. It's true that this storm looks a lot more powerful--Erin was only a category one storm, Olivia is a category three right now. But why not let people make up their own minds? Let them decide if they want to take the risk.

MEMORANDUM City of Pensacola Beach Tourism Center To: The Mayor From: Dean Dungaree, City Tourism Director Regarding: General Island Facts, Hurricane Worries Our businesses depend on tourists. There are stores, hotels, condos, restaurants and more. There is still a good chance the storm will miss us! If it does, evacuation would cost us a lot of money for nothing. I say we should let people make up their own minds. Let people know what is happening, but don't force them to leave. Many people are already evacuating on their own, but some people will stay here just to see the storm! This will mean money for our businesses--money they may need to clean up from the storm.

Residents Await Decision Day #5--Mid Morning: Neighbors Evacuate OLIVIA GROWS, HEADING OUR WAY RESIDENTS AWAIT MAYOR'S EVACUATION DECISION 9:00 AM, Tues. Morning, October 4, 2012 PENSACOLA BEACH TRIBUNE PENSACOLA BEACH- Hurricane Olivia has now grown to a category-four hurricane and is headed toward the Pensacola area. Remaining Pensacola Beach residents and tourists are waiting for the new mayor to choose between a forced evacuation and letting people decide for themselves. Many Pensacola Beach residents are already evacuating on their own, fearing they will be stuck on the highway if they don't leave now.

Residents Await Decision Day #5--Mid Morning: Neighbors Evacuate 9:00 AM, Tues. Morning, October 4, 2012 PENSACOLA BEACH TRIBUNE Other nearby cities have already decided about evacuations: On Tuesday, officials ordered Perdido Key and low-lying areas of Pensacola City evacuated by noon today. Public schools also were ordered closed. Okaloosa County today ordered an evacuation of all areas south of U.S. Highway 98, which includes parts of Fort Walton Beach and Destin. Neighboring Santa Rosa County asked for a voluntary evacuation of Navarre Beach.

Residents Await Decision Day #5--Mid Morning: Neighbors Evacuate 9:00 AM, Tues. Morning, October 4, 2012 PENSACOLA BEACH TRIBUNE The residents and tourists who remain want to ride out the storm. The residents hope they can care for their homes during the hurricane. The tourists want the experience of riding out the storm. Pensacola Beach officials are submitting urgent recommendations to the mayor to help him decide whether or not to make the evacuation mandatory.

Residents Await Decision Day #5--Mid Morning: Neighbors Evacuate 9:00 AM, Tues. Morning, October 4, 2012 PENSACOLA BEACH TRIBUNE At 9 a.m. EDT, the center of Olivia was near 27.6 north latitude and 88.4 west longitude, or about 225 miles south-southwest of Pensacola Beach. The storm is now a category-four on the Saffir- Simpson hurricane scale. If the storm stays at this strength, its winds could tear roofs off and the storm surge could damage or destroy many coastal buildings. Forecasters predict the storm will hit somewhere between Mobile, Alabama and just north of St. Petersburg, Florida. Pensacola Beach and Pensacola are at the center of that area. Pensacola Beach, along with the rest of possible strike zone, is under a hurricane warning. The warning is in effect from Mobile east to Anclote Key on the West Coast of Florida. A tropical storm warning extends south from the hurricane warning area, running south to Venice. A hurricane watch and a tropical storm warning extends west of Mobile to Grand Isle, La.

Residents Await Decision Day #5--Mid Morning: Neighbors Evacuate 9:00 AM, Tues. Morning, October 4, 2012 PENSACOLA BEACH TRIBUNE In Mexico, at least 10 people died and 20 are missing after Olivia passed over the Yucatan peninsula. The storm caused flooding that drove more than 20,000 people from their homes in the states of Campeche and Tabasco.
