Our beloved Pensacola
As we all have seen the images of devastation caused by the historic flood Tuesday, I find myself very fortunate that we did not receive any damage. Sadly though, my Facebook feed is a constant reminder that so many have lost so much.
Here on the Gulf Coast, we are quite familiar with natural disasters (hurricanes). Our community is resilient. The rebuilding process has already begun and many grass root organizations have formed to lend a helping hand.
