Orange Beach is between Gulf Shores and Perdido Key (aka the "real" Key West!). I went vacationing there just this past May. My sister has a house near Summerdale. I'm afraid it is taking a direct hit. Since it is a wood-frame house, I am losing confidence that it will be habitable when they return (she and her husband fled to relatives in Picayune, MS and last night at this time I thought they were driving into the storm).
My mother lives in a nursing home in Fairhope and my sister said they expected to hunker down and ride out the storm. I don't know if they changed their minds and evacuated everyone or if they kept to their original plan. They need our prayers regardless.
This could be catastrophic for my family.
Oh goodness. I certainly will do that. You must be a wreck, poor thing. Have you had any sleep since Monday?
I hope your going to say that your mom is on the bluffs and not downtown?
I went Vacationing at Orange Beach for a weekend the end of August...
My Sister and her husband, niece and nephew, are riding out the storm, in their new home in Daphne....which is right above Fairhope
My granddaughter is in Wilmer. If anybody hears anything about that area, please post info! Thanks.
