The latest hurricane to hit Florida - now all sections of the state have been nailed - went through Pensacola, where Adam's mom and sisters are. There is no power anywhere in that part of the state - the power plant itself sustained a lot of damage, so there's not even a SOURCE of power once the lines are back up. The interstate bridge was destroyed, so there's only one road in and out of Pensacola now. There's also no running water in some parts of the city. Nancy has a pole-barn behind the house (basically a 3-sided garage) which was destroyed when a big tree came down on it. Other trees came down, and some are leaning and need to be taken down so they don't land on the house. She's basically barricaded in because the driveway, which is lined with trees and shrubs, is completely blocked.
We've talked to Nancy and all the girls that are living with her, and Adam's sister Clara who lives in the area as well. In spite of the physical damage to everything, they're all fine, and we hope they have enough food storage to get them through the next few weeks.
