We are on West Beach in Gulf Shores. My sister is in town and we are vacationing with her and having a great time. Beautiful sunshine, no clouds and the water is calm. Much different from yesterday when the waves were crashing on the shore from Cindy and must have been 5-7 feet.
I did not arrive in time to see the big show, but the cleaning lady told us all about the water getting into the condo parking lot. I guess the big story is the psychological effects that all of this is having. There were some rattled folks yesterday, but now all eyes have turned to Dennis. The fear is evident in the voice of many of the folks I have talked to down here. Kind of strange to hear that this far in advance, but I guess that is what a hurricane like Ivan will do to people. I am a popular man as people try to figure out where the storm is headed but I have to say I don't have any secret answers. My feeling is east of here.
The beach, by the way, made it through Cindy fine and looks beautiful with all the restoration that has taken place. The sound of bulldozers woke us up this morning and I thought it was part of the beach restoration, but as we talked with the condo folks we found out they are already building berms to protect the area. That is it for now. More after some shrimp and oysters.
