Hello, friends.
Dealing with the storm? Hmmm. It might keep me offline tomorrow.
I just wanted to say my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. I hope you'll all be safe.
Ivan has now come inland, and it's visiting my state..Alabama. So far, I'm safe and sound. We're supposed to get tornadoes in sometime this afternoon and throughout Friday, and they say to expect power outages and flooding. The wind is expected to be steady at around 45mph and gusting to 70mph. The shores of Mobile, AL. has just taken a hard hit. I'm about six hours north from there, and the storm is making a path this way. Well, at least the after affects of it.
I was in Panama City Beach, FL, July 17-19, and to see on the news, what some places look like now....
The states I hear that are really getting it, or
will get it pretty badly are -
Florida
Alabama
Louisianna
North Georgia
Mississippi
Tennesee
Southeast Texas (maybe?)
I think we have two people on the board that live in Florida. Lana, hasn't posted in a while, but I think she's there. I'm not sure what part. I have two close family friends that are in Pensacola, FL. and I don't know how they're doing. They evacuated the area hours ago, so hopefully they're safe. I also have cousins in Biloxi, Miss. where they're having a hard time with wind.
I'm most worried about my brother, his fellow officers in blue, and other rescue teams all around any area of the storm(s).
If you all don't mind, please say a little prayer for us all.
Salina. I know I'm already in your thoughts and prayers, and your husband and grandma are in mine.
Take care and be safe.
