It has been a long and tiring day. I just got back to Tallahassee. We spent most of the day driving. It took almost 7 hrs to get to the instrument site. Since everything going into Pensacola was either closed or restricted, we were detoured in to Alabama.
I saw hundreds of big trees down over power lines and roads, and power was out all over within 100 miles of Pensacola. Gas very was hard to find, cell phones didn't work, lots of traffic, and a hot day. The good news, the instruments hadn't budged. Everything seems to have worked.
The emergency crews are everywhere, and all the roads had been cleared off. I was amazed at the response. However, I would not recommend to anyone to try to get into a disaster area the day after a hurricane. Tomorrow... homeward bound.
