UPDATED: 5:17 pm EDT June 10, 2005

PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. -- Officials urged people in low-lying areas of Escambia County to evacuate Friday as a rainy, strengthening Tropical Storm Arlene headed for a weekend landfall on the northern Gulf Coast, an area still recovering from Hurricane Ivan nine months ago.

Arlene could strengthen into a weak hurricane before hitting land Saturday afternoon, forecasters said. Many residents seemed to be taking no chances, as hardware stores said generators, flashlights and other hurricane supplies were in high demand.

Six hurricane shelters were being opened in the Florida Panhandle.

The voluntary evacuation also applies to mobile homes, manufactured housing and travel trailers such as those provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to Ivan's victims who are waiting for their homes to be repaired or rebuilt.

Arlene what next, where do the weather people find these names? and aren't the storms coming in a bit early this year? i think Arlene is so funny.

it IS early...and they should have called it Agnes! LOL............this photo taken in my area this morning~~~

yes it should have been Agnes as that is my middle name after my grandmother Agnes who lived in Florida for many years. But Arlene seems to be a better name. Now people might name their daughters born during the storm Arlene.

I love distructive storms. This one is pretty weak though. Andrew was a mean S.O.B. that got me so excited to watch. I feel bad for the people who are left homeless and whatever else, but you chose to move into a high risk zone for this kind of weather. Mother Nature is laughing at them early this year. I heard this season is supposed to be as bad, if not worse than last year....

i don't know if anyone here is in harm's way, but tonight the panhandle counties were urged to evacuate. ........TW i understand the fascination with wild storms. but i have to say, the miami area looked like hiroshima after andrew, my cousin lost her baby, and my aunt lost her house and everything she ever owned in the world. every family photo and memento. she has never been the same since and she lived in Berlin during WWll. some people were born and raised here and have careers here, it's not like they say "oh i want to live in hurricane country".
