Lee Scott area is out. Alabama power expects it back on by 2. This reminds me of the hurricane days in br.

Power was in and out downtown in Opelika a few hours ago, but I haven't had any problems since I got back home (Webster Rd)

Wasn't there for hurricans but was there for tornados back in 2011.


I have never seen Skybar that packed since then. Can't believe people are stupid enough to go to one of the only buildings without a roof during a serious tornado warning.

Can't believe I was one of them

It never went out on campus, but the lighting was pretty bad for a while. Thought we were going to get some rain.

Auburn. Opal went right over Auburn/Opelika. It was like a bomb went off. I don't remember how long we went without power.

I was at a hurricane keg party out near Kroger. I was pumping the keg on the back deck when a 100 year old oak tree fell in the backyard. It was awesome.

You couldn't drive anywhere on campus because of the downed trees and power lines. I don't remember how I got home from that party out near Kroger......

It was the tornadoes that got us.
