I got power back faster in Mobile.

Doesn't surprise me. Alabama Power sent a bunch of their crews down that way in advance of the storm, and they were caught a little flat footed further north. I don't think they expected the storm to hold together this far inland. We had category 1 force winds during the worst of it.

We had a huge party at my house and I cooked everything in the fridge and freezer, then drove to the family hunting camp that never lost power and continued the party. It was actually pretty fun until my office got power back 2 days later and I had to report back to work.
