Hurricane Dennis 7:15am

It looks like Hurricane Dennis, a very strong Category 4 storm (out of 5), will pay us a visit today, an unwelcome guest, for sure!



We've decided to stay at home here in Fairhope, AL which is on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay, between Mobile, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida. We have a brick house in a valley, and didn't have terribly hard winds during Hurricane Ivan (which was also a direct hit, but was a Category 3).



It is 7:15am CST as I write. It's only a bit gusty outside, no different than it would be for a thunderstorm. Landfall of the hurricane is around 5pm, but we will have Tropical Storm weather and then Hurricane weather for hours ahead of that.



I'll keep you updated as often as I can, but our power will likely go out later in the day.
