HERE COMES DENNIS!
And I'll be on the Eastern side of the storm... the rougest side. :(

If you want to find where I live: look in the dead center of Alabama and go all the way down to the state line. About 90 miles from the coast of Destin/Fort Walton FL.

1. Are you near Perdido Key FL?
I stayed there a few years ago. I guess this is twice in 12 months for Pensacola and vicinity. Not good for you folks.

5. Stay safe....what time is it supposed to hit?
I don't know nothin' bout hurricanes and worser sides and eyes...

Doesn't much matter, I guess, as long as people pull through it.

Good luck!

How's it look there? It's getting pretty nasty here, and I think I just lost the gate on my fence. x( Course the cable is out so it's hard to get any real info. Just waiting to lose my power now lol.

16. BamaLefty, have you been through one of these before?
This is what a category two did to my neighborhood: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=1615580&mesg_id=1615628
Please, please take EVERY precaution possible! And if the eye passes over you, don't come out until the second wall has passed too! Make sure your cell phone is fully charged and tape your windows (even if you have already boarded them). Our thoughts, prayers, good karma are with you. :hug:

20. Thanks!
I'm surprised we still have power. It is expected to make landfall in less than 2 hours.

I'm excited! :evilgrin:
