Thanks for the updates. I saw Mobile and PCola on the news. This storm system has been a monster and still going. Fish river at 23 feet with flood stage at 11. 24 inches of rain in PCola in 26 hours. Praying for all of you this morning.

Word is that lower Baldwin received over 20" of rain in the last 24 hours. Fish River is predicted to exceed record flood levels set during Hurricane Danny. The Intracoastal Canal is reported to have topped its banks at Canal Road. There is a lot of flooding going on down all over Gulf Shores/Orange Beach & along Fish & Magnolia Rivers.

The River Styx (near Elsanor) is in 'major flood' and that water is gushing through Perdido Pass and has risen the water level 3'-4' above 'normal'.

Incredible!
Folkses said the 'Hurricane Danny' level (1997) would NEVER be equaled ;-)

A lot of our friends are dealing with flooded homes. Schools are not opening until 11AM because of the extensive flooding.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
