Isaac

Just wanted to post a little about our first hurricane experience here on the gulf coast. Hurricane Isaac was a tropical storm until right before hitting land. Here in Mobile it was just VERY rainy which resulted in flooding in low areas. They closed the Bankhead tunnel, the causeway connecting Mobile to Daphne, Dauphin Island, several streets, and evacuated most areas near the bay/gulf. The wind also it pretty strong here too. It's weird and very different from what we are use to in north AL. This last forever, the wind an rain just don't come through an then the sun comes back out. I mean we have not seen sunshine since Isaac rolled in, it feel kind of nice despite the rain. Especially when you work outdoors like we do. Here are some picture, and once again I can't put them in order. Some are from Mobile , Dauphin Island, Gulf Shores, and the others are from MS/LA areas. It's so sad to see what people have lost and we are grateful it took a turn west or our situation wouldn't be so good right now!! Pray for the gulf coast :(
