Hurricane Dennis Pt. 2

Birmingham, AL

Well, they said Hurricane Dennis would be worse for Birmingham than Hurricane Ivan but, fortunately, it was no where near as bad. I just had debris in my yard but no trees down, like with Ivan. Thank you, God!

The power company sure was ready for it. Below are a few pictures from one of the staging areas. I saw trucks from New York and Arkansas at this one...
