Ah! Hurricane season on the Gulf Coast

Cindy gave us season's greetings this morning. Flooding on the Mobile causeway, gusty winds so a tree hurt by Ivan came down in the yard, school/univ closings and people who don't want to come to work.
And Dennis following Ivan's path!!!

Hi Fairhope, I have a friend who moved to Fairhope last year from NY. I'm sure he's happy...............
Also, have friends in the Dominican Republic on vacation this week. Can't image they are happy either........

The five-day path for Dennis has it headed straight for Pensacola. As if these poor people haven't suffered enough. Many houses have not yet been repaired from Ivan.

Fairhope,
I'm worried for all of you on the Gulf.
Dennis sounds tough!

Yes, it's awfully early in the season to have this many named storms already. I hope that those of you in the Gulf get a break, and I also hope that everyone else stays in the clear the rest of the season, including myself.

I'm afraid my husband and I aren't going to make our yearly trip to New Orleans, but according to the news I've already been there and gone.

.....and right before I will be at the beach....perfect timing, eh? I will be in Seaside, outside Destin, next weekend. That gives Dennis 10 days to move outta there! You think I'll be clear?

bamakelly, I sure hope the weather will have cleared by next weekend. We'll be down there too--after a 12 hour drive from the Midwest with 4 teenagers in the car! You better believe we are all crossing our fingers for sunny skies and good swimming.
