My parents live in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and dad works for the city. The damage he has seen is UNBELIEVABLE! The pix on the tv are minor compared to what he has had to work with. There was a small barge in the middle of downtown Fort Walton Beach. Lots of docks were destroyed. My parents were quite lucky...they only had the back fence blown off and they lost a storage shed with the items blown about. The storage shed landed two yards over, and the items all over the neighborhood. Interestingly, the lawnmower and metal chairs that sis put in the shed were in the exact same place. Some roof damage--will know about that more later. We in Birmingham had mixed results..some people are still without power, some had flooding. Hubby and I were lucky..only a few power flickerings here and there.

Tempted to look for six other signs...
