Hurricanes Allison buffeted Florida's Panhandle with 75 mph winds and up to 10 inches of rain, flooding streets and docks as officials warned of storm tides up to 10 feet in places. About 5,000 coastal residents evacuated in the Big Bend region, with 3,000 staying in 30 shelters from Pensacola to Lecanto.
