You Florida people think Ivan hit Florida. <grin> The center came
ashore between Gulf Shores and Palmetto Beach in Alabama. The damage
was much worse in Florida than in Alabama but Ivan hit in Alabama so
Florida only got 3 this year. Get over it. <even bigger grin>
I would agree that getting confirmed reservations is a must with a
final confirmation the day before you arrive. A major management firm
here has 600 confirmed reservations for 1/1/05 and they are asking
owners to make sure to tell them if the rooms won`t be habitable by
then. Riiiight... So even a confirmation at Christmas might not mean
the room would be available in January. Looking at the lights at night
I should be able to easily see 6 condo towers. Only 4 were lit last
night. And having power is just the first step in having a place to
stay. At one point on the beach road the sewer line was folded up
about 12` above the ground. And the part still underground was full of
sand. Water, telephone, cable, etc. were similarly destroyed. But,
HEY!, the golf courses are all open. Even the State Park Course.
Beaches. We have Pensacola`s sand over here. (Hey, buddy, want to buy
some sand? :) ) The damage to construction on the beach was almost
complete but we have had open beaches for over a month. My local
favorite is Bon Seqour NWLR on Ft. Morgan Road (Palmetto Beach). Went
down there in late September and the only people around were a couple
of National Guard in a Hummer preventing people from walking the beach
back to West Beach in Gulf Shores which was still closed. The several
miles of NWLR beach was all open and still even has some dunes.
So there are public beaches open West of Pensacola. Just plan on
getting a room in Montgomery (250 miles). :) Or if you want to try
over here we have http://www.gulfshores.com/closings/ for information
on about every business.

Still temporarily Corvetteless while waiting for the winter sales.
P.S. If you are going to Google it, using the spelling Dauphin Island
will get more results. ;) And contrary to popular belief, it is open.

The most powerful and most damaging part of a hurricane that has entered
the Gulf
of Mexico is the Eastern Eye Wall. We got slammed head on by the Eastern
Eye Wall.
I`d much rather have the eye -vs- the eye wall. Like Erin that had the
eye pass directly
over my house. That was cake compared to Opal or Ivan where we got hit
by the wall. :-)

I totally agree. We had 2 eye walls. From the tree fall and the report
of the neighbors who stayed, the eye moved due east after landfall and
passed a mile or so east of my house. Other than trees I had almost no
damage. A few days without power and Mediacom cable can eat my shorts
but it was not much worse than a tropical storm. A mile south on the
beach was entirely different. In Pensacola you got winds from the
south producing the storm surge and all we got back here on the canal
was the max winds from the east and then suddenly from the west.
Nothing compared to the debris in the water that does the most damage.
Friends farther inland got flooding from the rain and debris blocking
the creeks. I had a few shingles to repair and a few trees to cut up.
Power was on in 5 days and I was finished with repairs and cleanup
before Mediacom got around to finding the one broken wire up the
street.
We used to remember Frederic (`79) where we were on the east side.
Most here say Ivan was worse than Frederic. Ivan was much worse on
the beach but I`m afraid that Ivan taught everyone except those on the
beach the wrong lesson and many will die in the next Cat 3 hurricane
that goes 25 miles west of here. But that`s the price we pay to live
in paradise.
