7. Just about all is tended to - will just finish a few things at daylight |
|
and head inland.
Can't get drunk, have to be able to function to finish battening down the hatches and to drive out. My luck, I'd get drunk, pass out and wake up to the storm beating down the hatches. :scared:
Drunk will be tomorrow! Bored & drunk. x(

Sorry I missed that last night. Wasn't so bad in my area (compared to Ivan, which killed our power for three days and did some structural damage to our building).
I'm guessing power is still out for Maddy and mehr. They'll check in as soon as they can - anyone have phone numbers for them?

He's the weather guy out of B'Ham.
Looks like a direct hit on Gulf Shores at HIGH TIDE! Possible Category 5 storm!
Well gotta love the Tide. :eyes:
I'm scared mommy. And I'm WAY inland.
Wonder if FloraBama will rebuild after this one?
They're saying this will be the strongest storm to *ever* cross Alabama borders! 100+ mph winds as far north as Greene county.
How did this sneak up on us?
Twenty foot storm surge down on the gulf!

Not that it's a big deal. :)
Thanks for the good wishes. Take care of yourself too. It may be turning west.
I hope none of us are hurt by this thing.

I think it is a great idea. The only problem is that the power might not last long, but if they do have internet I would be relieved to hear that they are alright
