Sally
I watched a live TV report from Gulf Shores a bit ago. The newsman was at The Hangout. He said that he saw what he thought was a part of a pier float by. I HOPE that he was wrong. It is sure nuff rough there. All ya'll be safe.

Well here we go, it's midnite on the Gulf Coast and Sally just got her panties into a wad and strengthened back to a 100mph Cat2, and finally formed a rough Eye approx 50 miles across.
Anything along that Eye wall is gonna get the brunt of her b!tchiness.
And it is also now pretty apparent the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach is dead center in her sights, along with Pensacola.
Everybody along the beaches and South of I-10 there better have their insurance paid up!
To all our locals down there, I hope y'all are out of town or in a reinforced building.
I pray for your safety and homes.
And it goes without saying... The Pier is going to a Heavyweight pounding tonight.
I sure hope it's still standing and structurally sound come tomorrow evening.Ragnar Benson:
Never, under any circumstances, ever become a refugee.
Die if you must, but die on your home turf with your face to the wind, not in some stinking hellhole 2,000 kilometers away, among people you neither know nor care about.

I gotta say,...since I fished right under the pier just this past weekend I really got to look at the way it’s constructed. I paid it a lot of attention. I really looked at how it was made and was awed at the incredibly massive structure and how it was put together and anchored. Simply massive. But.....now I’m equally awed, (and saddened) at the power of the sea.
It’s that power,...and it’s relentlessness that made that massive structure fly to pieces like matchsticks. Damn,...just damn.

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!
