Hey!! A howdy from you is not "nothing of value!" BTW - how did your family fare with Ivan?? Pics of the Pensacola area are awful. And I looked at the Pensacola Journal website and read that even the Garcon Point bridge had been closed for a while...
Ivan really annoyed my family, but I think the damage was minimal, all things considered. The house in Navarre, where my oldest brother & Mom live, has too much damage for them to want to stay there, though they could if they had to. The call was cut off before I could get more detail on that. They're staying with my brother who lives in Milton (about 20 miles NW of there, I think). They have no electric, no phone, and their phones won't pick up a signal anywhere near the house. They have running water, and plenty of bottled water to last until they're sure the tap water is potable. My oldest brother called on his way to buy a generator, ice, etc. They're roughing it, but getting by. The house they're in was undamaged, and the insurance should cover the other house. Nobody got hurt, (including the dogs), and that's what counts.
