Tuesday. Nov.10, 2009. At 5:30 a.m. here on the eastern side of SoWal, it is only raining slightly. Was able to let the dog out with no problem. There were a few dead limbs about from my wild and native trees. Must have had a little squall come through just before I got up. Took flashlight down to look at lakefront. At this time coastal dune lake is up, but only about 7 inches. This is a lot, but not much considering the potential. Will have to see what day brings. Understand Ida hasn't landed yet. Anxious for daybreak to see the surf and how it has cut through the outfall, if at all. Local TV stations were on when I got up, but now both are off the air. CH7 and CH13 out of Panama City Beach and Panama City.
