I live in Daphne, but actually I'm "reporting" from here at work in downtown Mobile.......I'm watching "the Creek rise". We are still operating on commercial power at this time.....all things considered we are faring pretty well. I'm praying for my Bro's in NoLa. .....they are getting pounded pretty hard.
