Thanks Frank P for not sugar coating it. I dread the drive down I65 if and when we get to head back to what's left of Goula. I'm scarded to death of what I might or might not find.
Not feeling real secure here in Montgomery. I have a brother in Montgomery. His wife is 8 1/2 months pregnant. We came here because of family and DOGS. Yes, I'm one of those people too, Frank P. Seems like we'll get really rough weather here. Thanks again. You will be in my thoughts.

I wish your brother were with you. I would not want to be there either. Is it too late for him to leave?
As you said, sadly, someone will see the center of the storm.
Please let us know how your brother is too if you find out. Hopefully his cell phone will still work.

wm. I don't think so,someone else might like to address this question, he looks solid on the north motion.... now if the eye were to elongate say nw to se, then I might get worried.... but its concentric as I've ever seen, almost perfect for an eye.
I just lost power... strange., they must have shut down the grids... bassets are pissed and barking like.... hound dawgs...

Just before the you-know-what hit the fan with , the power grid was turned off down here. I think they do that so when the branches start ripping down lines, etc, people don't get electrocuted. Or something. What the heck. All I know is that I am vicariously reliving that horrible afternoon through your experience and it's not fun.

said hamiltons (next to capt. andersons) took a hit too. it has been real squally here with groups of tornado's. surge is up quite a bit too. haven't been able to check height though because of the squalls. wind is not that bad but gusty when the cells come through. (sorry for spelling)

The ETA, and now that the is out, both show being picked up by the next trough, so hopefully it won't stall in the mountains. 1 run does not a trend make, but I'd rather spread out the heavy rains over a large area, then concentrate them in one area. Let's see if this turns into a model trend.
The next issue is, if this happens, what happens to Jeanne? Does it recurve before Florida? We'll see, too soon to tell.

will do, we stay in contact ever hour... winds picking up right now... gusts to about 35 I would imagine...
I told him that if I was in his shoes I would get the hell outta there.... gave him the matress advice too...
damn, its dark as hell in here....
He's hearing that there are rumors its going to go more east towards Pen, can anyone confirm that???
I'll be loging off every now and then to conserve battery power, I want to get as many miles to the gallon tonight as I can...
right now, this board is my best friend and I certainly don't feel alone....
thanks

Frank - You may want to go into your pwer setup on your laptop and turn everything way down e.g. hard drive, etc., it will save power and eloingate the life span. I'm sitting in Dallas but thinking of you and the rest of the folks on the Gulf Cost since I spent close to 15 years there!

I can't, but I am only looking at radar and satellite. I actually don't know if any forecasters are making that call. It looks basically due north for the current motion.

Well, my sister which lives in Mobile has decided they are staying. This is after 10 days of saying "If it comes NEAR us we're gone!"
She's about 10 miles West of Mobile. No trees near the house, but in a large natural clearing so no wind break either. House has poor roof shape for winds. Steep gable type. If the roof doesn't come off it's still going to the shake the house up.
They had no reason to stay. Pretty dumb.
