My mom and Grandma are ok, house lost a few shingles but other then some leaks they are doing fine. Water is running, power is out, and cell phones are hard to get through.

They got hit HARD, that town has been basically shut down since thursday, and they don't know when they'll be up for anything. Most bridges are toasted, I-10'* bridge, and both spans will need to basically be built new again.....

Glad to hear the family is ok. Hope all goes well from here on out.

My mom'* friend is up here for an expo, and she came a few days sooner, due to the hurricane. She lives not 500 feet from the Gulf. And her house has a little water damage, and a few lost shingles. Her new house [which she'* building], was just fine. However her friends lost their first level due to water damage [right on lake], and some of her other friends' houses were leveled. A tornado hit there too, and that is what caused the most damage in Pensacola/Navarre Beach.
