Thanks ladies, (and guys if there are any) I'm signing off for a few days. Headed to Jackson MS w/ family.
Cuba is getting mauled right now so say prayers for all those in Dennis' path. If you can, make a donation to the Red Cross, they are the best way to help. Cuba, Jamaica, and Hispaniola are going to need it.
Bye for now.
Inglor

| Best luck to you and yours, Inglor (and anybody else who might shortly be meeting Dennis). |

We were getting the "remnants" of that pesky little tropical storm yesterday and it was like a monsoon. Horizontal rain and of course it started some tornandoes in our area. It amazes me that I am 3 states away from where it came ashore and we got so much rain from it. Everytime we get remnants the likes of this, I am amazed that people who live along the coasts don't go insane. My backyard has about 6 inches of water standing it in. Its a kiddy pool for dogs!
I am worried about my husband and son. They are driving from Houston to NC Saturday and Sunday. I hope the don't hit too much rain as they pass through LA, MS, and AL. Thats sooo dangerous and my husband is one of those guys who is a "great driver" so he doesn't slow down for the weather!

Bye Inglor!! Stay safe! Jackson looks to be safer than B'ham right now.
I have clients in Jamaica and can't reach them. Their family is going nuts.
We are batting down the hatches here and getting ready. This looks to be one more of a storm coming in here. I don't look for it to weaken much from the time it hits Gulf Shores to the time it gets here. |

Dennis isn't expected to hit until late sunday evening. So if they are in LA by then they should be ok. UNLESS he takes a jog to the left. Then that could put them more in the threat of the storm. Dennis isn't suppose to be into the B'ham part of AL until 8:00 am Monday morning. |

Whew!! They will be safely home in NC by then. They are staying in Birmingham on Saturday night but will be home in NC by Sunday evening.

Sorry I looked at it the wrong way. I thought they were going to Houston. That is the time frame as of right now. If they leave B'ham early sunday morning then they should be ahead of the main part of the storm. The outer bans will be in already. Just to be safe with the traffic. I would get them headed this way if they aren't all ready. Or have them stay another day until things pass.
Hope they stay safe! |

Poor Ingler!  It's going to come right across your house and then follow you right up to Jackson.
Hope you are safe! |

We are safe and sound. Missed us entirely. Power didn't even blink, clocks all still showed correct time when we got back today. Pensacola dodged the bullet too. Where Dennis went in is one of the least populated places on the gulf coast. Most of it belongs to Uncle Sam: Eglin Airforce Base.
However, northeast of us (Atmore, Flomaton, Brewton) got HAMMERED...AGAIN. Rural Area, those folks have it bad.
Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes
Inglor
