i survived hurricane ivan
greetings from pensacola, still dont have power back here yet, running on a generator and a modem (dont ask me how the phone lines still work, havent a clue) should have full power tomorrow or the next day, its really nasty here, trees down everywhere, giant piles of branches, limbs, trunks, and various other debris infront of every house, trees and tarps on manny roofs, but things are getting back to normal, and i want to thank ohio edison, Qubec power and all the others who have come here to help restore power

2. Glad you made it through Ivan the Terrible
I adopted Pensacola as my temporary home when I was hiding from Frances, and I was greatly saddened to see photos of the devastation there. Of course now we on the east coast of FL have Jeanne breathing down our necks. Wish us luck.

3. How did we survive in the old days without air conditioning down here.
A day is an eternity without it, but so grateful to see some of you alive and unscathed.

5. Glad you're OK and have power.
It sure is hard to sleep at night when it's hot and humid. Unfortunately I can relate to your difficulties.

8. There were times like this when a box fan would have been a luxury.
Once, I had to fill up a bath tub in order to fall asleep, mostly submerged... wasn't easy trying to sleep while it was in the upper 80s at night with 100% humidity. I DEFINATELY understand your pain.
