We're not going to make it to Erin's wedding.
Erin & Mike decided on Thursday to keep the wedding in Gulf Shores because the initial damage reports were something like "it's not as bad as we thought". On Friday, the damage reports started rolling in, revealing that "not as bad" still leave a lot of room for "bad". By Saturday, it was clear that there wasn't really a Gulf Shores left anymore. The town is a disaster area, there is no electricity or running water, the Pensacola airport that we were to fly into is still closed, and Chucky, a 12-foot, 1100-pound alligator is roaming free in the town because the floodwaters rose above the walls of his zoo enclosure. Just what every wedding needs.
The wedding is moved to Nashville, but too late for us to change our tickets to anything reasonably priced. They are planning to have a beach party / reception next spring in Gulf Shores, by which time, presumably, Chucky will be caught, and we'll go to that.
