Hey everyone, we just got power back on last night and have been in touch with my folks in Foley/Fish River and Mobile throughout the storm. Fish River was up 6', 100' into the bank and that wasn't one of the lower lying areas either. Dad lost all his clothes but that's all, he weathered the storm in Foley with only minor damage and power has remained on there. Mom in Mobile lost half her roof facing the east and been w/o power eversince. Many trees & fencing down, much worse than any previous hurricaine. She is part of CERT but they haven't been activated yet. My UPS man is taking down a chainsaw, bar & oil and motor oil. Some folks have had their generators stolen and gas siphoned out of their cars. Hopefully they can begin to get some power by Labor Day. If you go down there, you need to take your own gas for the return trip.
