Hey everyone! Still alive and well in Foley, AL! I faired well and am very lucky!!!
My internet access is soooo slow. The winds were really rough last night and I thought several times that the next gust was going to be the "big blast". I got no sleep at all & was very nervous. My mother and father stayed with me. Their house is even closer to Gulf Shores, is a two story & faces south. I hope that everything is ok and that there was minimal damage. I'm not very optimistic though!

I lost power at 7:00 P.M. C.S.T.. It was restored today at 1:00 P.M. C.S.T.. Woo Hoo.. Hot shower!
I had minimal damage, some roof shingles lost, low voltage lighting around yard is no longer there, a couple of trees down & my wooden fence in the back yard was completely blown away. All around me, the devestation was enormous! I wish I could post pics for you all to see. I will when DSL is back up at full speed.
Gulf Shores and Orange Beach (7 miles south of me) were hit really hard. I was watching the news about an hour ago and I see so many of my friends places in ruins. Many businesses are still consumed by rising water.
I need to go for now, so much to do for family and friends. I just wanted to check in and say hello! I hope all of you are doing well and are safe!
