HUge Kudo's to Alabama Power, Dixie Electric Cooperative, and Central Alabama Electric Cooperative. Power has already been restored to a majority of homes in the Montgomery metropolitan area (Montgomery, Prattville, Millbrook, Wetumpka).

Just got a report from MY Stepsons father -- Lots of damage in Fairhope - trees down, roof gone, trees on cars, trees on houses etc. His house has a tree sitting through the living room and extensive water damage, but will be repairable

Gulf Shores is still inaccessable, he was stopped in Foley even though he has a house in Gulf Shores. Was told the house is a total loss as are most of the homes in Gulf Shores, Condos have also been severely damaged. Most Condos have lost the First floor and taken damage to the second floor and lost windows throughout the rest of the building. Said Foley looks like a war zone. Trees down everywhere. All stoplights are ripped down, roofs laying everywhere. Gonna take months to clean up and years to rebuild the area. My Brother is attempting to find a route into Pensacola and over into his customers in Alabama, but probably won't get in until tomorrow or Monday. Will send more reports if I hear anything. Stepsons dad is on his way back to Montgomery.

Do you know if Hwy 29 into Pcola is passable? My parents are going down there tomorrow to help out our relatives.
