    Stu - glad to here you made it thru!! We got some of Ivan coming back across the state for the past couple days along with a Nor-Easter man it was ****py, I hope he doesn't reform again.

    So, that pic of your truck on the beach, is that how the roads look around there, all sand?

    Glad to hear you're OK - I've been checking at pensacolanewsjournal.com for community updates from my area over in Navarre. Currently in the UK, but still have my house - best I can tell, there was no major damage - no water damage in my neighborhood - only shingles & fences, so hopefully the same holds true for my house.

    I hear I-10 eastbound may be repaired/reopened by next week, but westbound will be at least 90 days. Any word on 3mile bridge?

    I've heard sporadic power, no phone, good cell coverage in some areas (zip in others), schools are out for about 3 weeks, 7pm-7am curfew, boil water, most roads p***able, but not necessarily completely cleared & other standard stuff.

    Glad to hear you're OK though - keep us informed!

    Congrats, I really miss Pensacola. was looking at pictures on the Pensacola News Journal and saw pictures that really got to me.. I guess Pensacola is use to being beat up.. it'll come back. my folks also made it. They had a tornado that missed their house by 300 ft. and lots of fence damage from trees..

  14. OK OK, now that we know you are alright, let's get to the important stuff.

    Is the Flori-bama still standing?
