The wind is slightly picking up here (we're about 150-200 miles inland here in Tuscaloosa) but thus far nothing yet. We're expecting to see the first of Ivan tomorrow morning, with the worst hitting us early afternoon. I went to Target earlier today and the place was a huge cluster f....it was busy.
There was absolutely not a single case or bottle of water left. I don't know where on earth I'll find any now. I'm sure most of the stores around here have been pillaged. Most of the gas stations had long lines as well. Please pray for all of the people on the immediate Gulf Coast, especially New Orleans right now (they're getting it as we speak, I think).
