Maybe we'll get some AERIAL shots of the area soon.

Unless NO takes the threat seriously and bolsters coastal flooding defenses, it is only a matter of time before it happens. It's not rocket science. Look at Holland.
Thanks for Montgomery radio report. What's the prognosis for Birmingham? I have relatives there who are getting too old to cope with falling trees.
The computers in the barns/shed/etc are used to record and track feed rations, birthing records etc.
Thanks for the reply. If I can find any info, I will forward it on to you. :)

Slocomb, in Geneva County, AL, is about 50 miles north of DeFuniak. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that these two miniature horse enthusiasts know each other.
You can bank on that. Did you see how high Pensacola Bay got? Usually when you drive over that bridge there's at least 25 feet to the water. I suspect the surge most likely completely submerged much of Okaloosa Island. I don't mean to alarm, but it's bad there. I have heard NOTHING about Gulf Breeze or Pensacola Beach.
It looks like it still pretty much sucks there weather wise present moment. Fox is reporting that Panama City is still under curfew.
Very little is yet to be known about Gulf Shores/Orange Beach/Perdido Key. All I've heard is that traffic is being stopped on one side of the Intercoastal Canal on HWY 59 because the road is under 8 feet of water. I think the surge probably went all the way over the island and into the Intercoastal. Same as Frederick. Eastward down the beach toward Pensacola probably received (receiving) the most damage. Hope the FloriBama is still there.
A mere 2 degrees less of a turn to the north, way back when it was several hundred miles offshore, and things would have been *very* different!
Our power is still on; however, my mom who lives in a mother-in-law suite attached to our home has lost power. Apparently, the source of her power is from a different transformer from ours. Winds are dying down considerably now and it's barely raining at all. All in all, we've been very fortunate. Thank you Lord.
It is impossible to publish a 3D visual technique in a scientific journal.
However, I am more than willing to teach others how to do it, if they have the desire to learn.
LOOK FOR THE WALL!
Tornado reported just South of Ft Benning, GA moving NW at 70MPH!!!! Folks in the path should take cover ASAP!
I'm sorry about your family. Are they staying with other family members or a they at a shelter?
Dang! My lights are starting to flicker! Winds picking up.
My dad rigged up the barn to make it as convenient and comfortable for his horses as possible. My sisters and I joke that they are treated better than we were (just kidding, of course).
Hotel for the time being. No family for a thousand miles and I'm ten thousand miles away.
When things have cleared up a bit in a couple of days they may get back home. We'll see.
I just heard about Montgomery on TV. Will be praying for you, AB.
My mother and her nursing home in Fairhope also came through okay. Thanks, everyone, for their prayers.
It will be a few days before my sister can assess the damage to their house. We may have to come up with some emergency funds from them because their house would have received a direct hit from the storm. I have no idea about the condition of the horses.
LOL!!!!
We just use our barn for storage. Eventually hubby wants to put in electricity, but more for a workshop than anything else.
It was never used for livestock, just farm equipment storage.....it's' big enough to hold 2 tractor trailers.
