Thanks for local update! Stay safe & dry. Will try that crust!Lots of rain in the Pensacola area. Voluntary evacuation orders issued. Barge hit a bridge so it's closed until after the storm when they can get an engineer in to inspect. I'm just sitting around knitting my granddaughter a blanket that matches the one that I made for her favorite baby doll. We shouldn't lose power since we have underground lines, but you never know. Hubby is mad because he wanted Mexican takeout last night but I'd already marinated a pork tenderloin so I told him he could have it tonight. He still thinks they'll be open and he'll go get it, but I'm thinking that frozen pizza will have to do. BTW, the Digourno with the croissant crust is totally worth it.
I'm such a sucker - love his dog!

Windstorm insurance is expensive. And if you make any changes to doors, windows, garage doors - they have to be inspected and windstorm certified.What’s really sad is, home owners insurance doesn’t cover flooding. Flood insurance is separate. Most people don’t buy it. There will be people inland who never, ever thought they’d be flooded.
