My Family Hit Hard By Ivan

Just found out yesterday that my Dad's walk-in clinic is totally underwater. His clinic was on Perdido Drive right across from the ocean on Orange Beach.

He evacutated up to the north of Alabama to get away from the storm and everyone is fine. But also his house on Ono Island might have been destroyed at this point... He is contacting the command center they are setting up to so that residents of Orange Beach can see if there homes are damaged or even standing.

He also owns other property in the area and fears that those buildings have been seriously damaged...

Luckily he is 100% insured but the deductibles are extrememly high so he might have to pay out up to 15K per property before they even start any work. Plus good luck finding a contractor as they will all be so busy the next few months it will be impossible to get anything done right away.

Looks like Dad's going to be hitting me up for a loan, after all the years I have been borrowing from him ;)

Anyways all that matters is that my family is safe, sure there will be a few tough months for them coming but they will be ok.

Here is a pic of the road that they live on
