The following is from a Pensacola Beach resident who is, for the moment, still on the beach as of 9 a.m. Sunday:

"Had an automated phone call about 15 minutes ago from Escambia County Emergency Management saying the storm was expected to make landfall in LA but due to its size, we should expect surge to 5 -7 ft. - saying 'this is half of what we experienced during Ivan'. And to please stay tuned to TV, radio etc.. BUT NOT A WORD about evac - not even voluntary.

Now that is REALLY a lot of help - scaring us to death with pics of our cars getting inundated up to the windows, but nothing about suggesting we leave??????? All this did was create extreme confusion on our part.

Escambia Emergency officials -- Where are you?
