CHRISTMAS STAR 🌟
Wow - just wow. This picture has left me speechless. Taken in Pensacola, FL, you can see Saturn and Jupiter combine to make one major star - similar to that of the Star of Bethlehem in the nativity story.

Well. Starting to get damage pics coming in from my own home in Daphne. A tree in my front yard completely uprooted, falling on a power line, and completely disconnecting it from the house. Will be without power for a while. Luckily the home, with everyone inside, is safe.
