Ten Years Ago: Hurricane Ivan

Not trying to have a conversation with myself or anything........lol

About the time of this post, Ivan was probably less than two hours away from its landfall.  I remember we had some friends over that lived basically in the same neighborhood.  We also had my uncle from Pensacola who came over and helped boarded up and thinking he was headed in the area that might have gotten some of the worst.  As it was, he made the right call as his area got slammed.

I do remember at this time getting into a closet in hopes of getting some sleep.  For one thing, those friends of mine had two grown children.  Their son (who tragically lost his life in a wreck later that year) stayed home and their daughter was at the hospital she worked at, and they both called their parents several times that night and early morning.  Drove me nuts!  I went into that closet in part of hoping to escape those calls as much as anything!
