I'm back!

I'm back online again! My power came back on about an hour after my last update on the previous post (about 6:00pm). However, my cable had gone out and I just got it back a few minutes ago. Like I said in my post below, my house has no damage and we are all fine. The power was only out for three hours. We only had a few small branches that fell in our yard. I didn't go back to work today, but I figure we should go back in the next day or two.

They keep saying that Pensacola "dodged a bullet" and that is absolutely true. This could have been much worse. But the storm weakened some (although it was still a category 3) and went to the east of us, which really spared us the worse. It also went through very quickly, which also helped tremendously. However, the counties to the east of us were hit pretty hard, so I'm sure they are in much worse shape than we are here.

I really appreciate everyone's prayers...they really worked and God was very merciful. I thank God for sparing us the worst.
