Ivan and Dennis DID hit the Panhandle. Ivan got P'cola and Dennis got Navarre. Some folks do consider P'cola part of Bama though. Camille was a strange choice, however.
That's because I was at WALA-TV Channel 10 in Mobile at the time and we took 140 mph winds at Azalea International Airport until ther anemometer was destrpyed.
Like I said in my post, I only speak of hurricanes of which I have direct knowledge/contact. Ivan and Dennis just didn't get close enough to me to make me think I had direct knowledge. It just isn't the same watching them on radar and satellite...I may has well have been in Bismarck North Dakota.
I am referring to real, in your face, experience and the storms I listed are the only ones about which I can make that claim.
That's why we call it LA.... Lower Alabama
