Received this (attachment) the other day and had to pass it on. We may be battle weary, but we have to remain vigilant. No need to panic about Jeanne at this point. Before this year, we'd find it quite normal to see a cyclone like Jeanne move toward the Bahamas and Florida only to be steered to the north, as model consensus is currently suggesting.

Part of the eyewall went over the Pensacola vicinity too. There is just lots of damage down there.

My neighbor went to pick up batteries and candles. I couldn't help but to laugh at her. (As a Fl girl, what we're going to get will be a picnic compaired to what Al/Fl got)
Why on earth would you laugh at her? The last time I checked it's just as dark in Georgia when the power goes out as it is in Florida. You know the power goes at here at times with a slight breeze, much less the remnants of a strong hurricane.
In addition, being on the east side of the remnants, tornadoes are a distinct possibility. Remember last week when the center of circulation from went through west Georgia, yet South Carolina got hit with 36 tornadoes?
Seems ironic that a "Florida gal" would laugh at someone preparing for a storm.

Pensacola looks like a war zone, worst damage I've seen this morning. Alabama looks like a lot of debris. Buildings wiped out in Pensacola.

Then Mobile is a very lucky city. They're saying extensive damage to Pensacola.

I was talking about the link that you gave out. The disuccion was written by a person named Clark, does that no mean it's not Clark. Could you clarify that, thanks.

Sorry, I should of explained myself better. I always keep stuff like that on hand. Not wait until the last minute and have to rush out and get it. You know how it is here.......People panic over 1/4 inch of snow, let alone something like this coming at them.

Moring all.... I fell a sleep around 10 last night and I just work up... boy did I need it... hounds dogs OK to...
we had no damage around my area... I don't even hear chain saws... Isadore was a whole lot worse... that's because we were on her east side... makes a tremendous difference... I have not heard from my brother yet, and I'm a little concerned, he lives in west Mobile and I'm not sure what kind of damage they got.... I didn't even lose a shingle..... WEST IS best if you have to be on the side of a hurricane... that and moving a little off to the east at landfall sure helped... not evacuating was a calculated risk and one based on sound forecasting reasoning... but my car stayed packed and ready to go in case of any deviation... being 20 feet above sea level on the beach also helps
max winds around here maybe 60, surge less than 5 feet tops... still don't have power but everything else.
I need to go back and read all the post so I have a good historic review of the events that transpired during the past 12 hours or so..
I got to image Pensacola and Gulf shores and eastward have been devistated...
thanks to all for you concern and support...

From pensacolanewsjournal.com:
A quarter mile section of east-bound Interstate 10 bridge over Escambia Bay connecting Santa Rosa and Escambia is missing. Part of the cement was pushed up on the side of the bridge and part of it was in the water. The west-bound section was damaged, but still standing.

Frank, good to hear back from you. Glad you're safe. Everyone has to make that individual call re: evacuation. Still praying for others in Pensacola and northward in the path of this potentially heavy rain and flooding event.

Officially a miss, landfall at Gulf Shores , Alabama. I am talking eye landfall here.
*edited to be nicer*
It's Technically a miss. It's officially a disaster for parts of 3 states and as many countries.

thanks Revup and MrSpock.... just heard from my brother on my cell, he's OK and did not suffer any damage during the storm...
looks like the eastern side of Al and the panhandle took the brunt of the storm.... I bet the damage reports will just get worse over time.... I feel for those people....

Morning all...
FP glad you're fine...good news about your bro too. Hopefully those to the right of the eyewall will have fared better than we hoped...thank god this dropped to a III before landfall...brutal yes...but better than the alternative.
I do not even want to look at the Jeanne (btw, half the forecasters are pronouncing it "Jean" and half "Jeanie" -- does anyone know if there is a "correct" pronounciation?). Lets just hope the mountains of Hispaniola deal her a death knell...and lets hope the disaster of last May does not repeat itself.
Peace y'all...speedy recovery wished for here...anyone directly affected please give us updates when you can!
PS: I don't believe "our" Clark wrote the hpc discussion...I believe "our" Clark (his middle name) would have used his last name were he to have written that discussion...LOL
