Oooh! Pretty nasty, for a blind guy. I just told him I'd like to break
his fingers, but then he'd probably get some voice-to-text software.
Hey, how was the big blow for you? I guess it missed New Orleans but
it sure looked threatening for a while. Glad you're back at a
computer.
And any local info on what it did to Dauphin Island? Had it
not veered about 20 miles east to Gulf Shores just before
landfall, the eye was predicted to go about directly over a
house I briefly owned on it. I've been scouring the papers
for mention of the island and haven't seen any. Perhaps
it's gone. Wouldn't have taken a whole hell of a lot to
wipe it clean and it's almost certain the swell submerged
it, on up and over the platforms that most of the houses
were built on.
On the east end, most were at ground level (barely above sea
level) for some strange reason and I just can't imagine what
their fate, and that of the marina, might be. Did the
causeway survive?
