That picture was a solemn reminder of the loss of life that is occuring.
At times like these folks band together, There is a lot of damage. Searching for survivors, Clearing roads etc... will take the combined efforts of all. It Could be a while before they have power restored.

Thanks Mike
Winds starting to pick up some and the power starting to flicker,other part of Pensacola are without water and power already so I guess we are lucky. Looks like the eye going to come in around 60 or 65 miles to the west of us so it might get to be fun for a while and looks like the hotel will take a petty good shot since it's in Orange Beach on the coast about 30 or 40 miles from Moble bay
see you
Jim
