peach compared to what Ivan's bringing. I'd take Danny all over again if I could choose between he and Ivan. We owned a home on Mobile Bay's north side, just the bay between us and Fort Morgan. Close enough to see the condos during the day and lights during the night. We didn't even lose a shingle during Danny.

40 inches of rain....but I'll take the rain any day. I remember in Danny, there were gawkers on the causeway that runs across the bay when the eye was over the bay. Not a lot of wind....but a ton of rain.

That was a strange sight. Danny sat over the mouth of the bay and just pumped it dry.

On the other side, the highest I ever saw the water rise was during Georges. He flooded Water St (no pun intended) with 4 or 5 feet of water.
