Ivan wiped most of them out, and the ones that remained people cut down out of fear of another hurricane. Young people today have no idea just how many old trees used to be around here.

I’d never thought I’d see food lines but after Ivan I saw people lined up at a Baptist Association food kitchen. The one gas station in town that had a generator their pumps blew over. I can still point to scars on the land left from the storm. Ivan is one of those defining moments in our life much like 9/11.

My husband and I huddled in the hallway with our dog as the door rattled and the windows shook. Worst I’ve ever been through.

But the storm left us two angel images above my terminal brothers bed as a reminder of life. I cut the angels down in Ensley and brought them to our Molino house. Will send pic to North Escambia.

Ivan was the worst, so far. Getting up after that beating was like going out into a landscape that had survived a bombing attack. Something you will never forget.
