A direct hit

I woke up this morning to learn that Hurricane Ivan made landfall somewhere between Gulf Shores, AL and Pensacola, FL. That means my family's condo, in Perdido Key, FL, likely took a direct hit from this storm. I suppose it will be a while before we learn specifically of any damage, especially because it's still the middle of the night there. Good thing I have the Internet-- I'm able to watch a live broadcast from a local TV station in Mobile, AL. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures once daylight comes. My parents loved that area along the Gulf Coast so much... I can only imagine how crushed they both would have been to hear about this storm.
