Ida Rolls into Pensacola Beach
We are starting to feel the effects of hurricane (now tropical storm) Ida. It has been raining for several hours out here on the beach, and we are starting to get some wind. It looks like Pensacola Beach will take a direct hit in this one. Thankfully it has been steadily weakening.
Down at the pier, the local photographers and Weather Channel reporters congregate… I saw Jim Cantore, Stephanie Abrams:
but my favorite sighting was David from Beach Bum Photography. He and his wife took our wedding photos!
The island authority has been busy removing anything that hangs, swings, or could blow away. I took this from my iPhone this morning while driving. They are taking down the road signs:
Here’s what the radar looks like as of 11am:
Stay tuned for updates. I’m riding the storm out on the island, so I’ll be updating as long as I have power!

You are too sweet! David enjoyed seeing you as well. I would have been down there with him, but I’m not much of a morning person. ;)
