One of the shopkeepers walks out of Sarahs, a three story dress shop in downtown Pensacola, laid open by Hurricane Ivan's winds and storm surge September 16, 2004. The shop was in the lower end of the downtown area that flooded as well as took the brunt of Ivan's winds.

Oh, SNAP. I forgot about what 14 feet of storm surge and 10 inches of rain might do with the local gator population. Yeesh.

I sure hope this thing doesn't park itself over the Southeast to wring out over the weekend. Those mountains do NOT need a foot of rain...the term "flooding of Biblical proportions" keeps getting thrown around regarding the Upstate.

I remember they opened one up in Hilton Head Island years ago and it had 20 dog collars inside!
