Dennis was no “menace” after all…

…at least, not to the Alabama Gulf Coast, as the Category 3 hurricane made landfall yesterday near Pensacola, Fla. Some 360,000 Alabama residents lost power, but for the Gulf Coast, Dennis was nothing compared to Ivan. There was wind damage and flooding farther inland, though.

I’m glad those folks were spared—they’re still not fully recovered from Ivan down there. I hope the folks in Pensacola and elsewhere are able to recover as well.
