Hurricane and tornado damage


  Saturday, September 18, 2004


Hurricane and tornado damage

Our prayers are with the victims and families of all people affected by the recent storms.

From http://www.cnn.com/2004/WEATHER/09/17/hurricane.ivan/:
 
Four people died in Georgia, including a 6-year-old girl who was swept away by floodwaters. An electrocuted utility worker, a 4-year-old swept away and a person hit by a falling tree also died, according to the Georgia Emergency Management Agency.
(...) Tornadoes in the Panhandle town of Blountstown, west of Tallahassee, and in Panama City Beach caused six of Florida's eight deaths. A tornado destroyed the Blountstown mobile home of Santana Sullivan and her fiance, Chris Ammonds. They returned home to find "a clear lot," she said

Please respect the victims' rebuilding efforts by not going on "sightseeing tours" through their neighborhoods gawking at the damage.

Hurricane information

I am in Florida and trying to get info on damage. My sister has a home there and she is now in Alexandria. We have no idea of the damage. Also, do you know how the bar called "The Dock" faired. It is located right on the lake and you can see it from I-10.

My brother and family evacuated to Pensacola. They need to know if their home on Sirius Street in Eden Isles is still standing.

I live in Eden Isles also. It doesnt look good for us. Check out the pics on NOLA.com & wwwlt.com. I don't know for sure which homes are still standing but according to friends who tried to get into the subd the water is still too high and the streets are full of debris. I live on Blackfin Cove. Good Luck.
