<div class="bbWrapper">I just text my ex-wife and she said she has the windows open enjoying the breeze. lol She lives in Navarre. My daughter lives up the road about 20 miles by Milton out in the country but they always have very bad cell reception so it&#039;s no surprise no one can get ahold of them. We can&#039;t get ahold of them when the weather is perfect most of the time.<br /> <br /> Too bad too because after all this time they were just starting to rebuild hotels out on the island.</div>

[Get Right]

<div class="bbWrapper">All good in Pensacola, thanks! I spend a lot of time in those cities taking a direct hit. For the most part they are poor communities with sub-standard housing. The impact(s) will be devastating.<br /> <br /> I was literally on the fence on leaving. Despite poor predictions on strength, they nailed the track days out which led to my decision to stay.

<div class="bbWrapper">The poor people of Eastern NC are about to get more rain dumped on them. Good news for flooding is that it&#039;s a fast moving storm, but that increases wind speeds and tendency for tornadoes.
