Frank P - reporting in - late but safe

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 Ivan 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...
