Visit Pensacola is reporting:
As of 7 a.m. CST, the Pensacola Bay Area is no longer under a Tropical Storm Warning, as wind and rain continue to subside. No major storm damage has been reported in Escambia County, which includes Pensacola, Pensacola Beach and Perdido Key. At this time, our thoughts are with our neighbors to the west, as Hurricane Isaac nears the Louisiana Coast.
Unfortunately, that is not the case. NOAA reports in its 7 a.m. update:

I know they want to save the Labor Day tourism weekend, but NOAA still has us under a TS warning, so does Escambia County (from that last update):
Escambia County is currently under the following watches or warnings: Tropical Storm Warning, Flood Warning and Flash Flood Watch.
