Norm in Pensacola

We were going to hunker down just east of there for a couple of days and I noticed a break in the rain yesterday morning and decided to head west. They got dumped on after we left.

Here is a real detailed flood update on the closure on business, bridges, roads etc. for Walton county.

Here at Gulf Shores...sites are mostly ok as they built them up when the area was constructed...but it's a good thing it stopped raining when it did! Our lakeview site is now lakefront. Any site flooding was not bad enough to damage rigs...but the storage area had lots of rigs with water up to the bumpers and about all of them with the trailer hubs under water. Some sites will take a week or so to drain so that the pads are high and dry.

This location handled the water better than Topsail or St. Andrews would have!

Sorry I am late replying



THANKS for asking. HUGE amounts of rain, continuous lightening for 2 days, not much
wind.............as far as we can tell so far, no damage...............the new puppy was terrified
for 2 days, but she has recovered.................after Katrina, we do NOT live at low elevations
any more ! ..but the AREA has
TREMENDOUS damage to roads, and flooding of homes..............and, unrelated I think,
the 4 story county jail exploded last night.............some deaths and MANY injured.
