Everything is good. Rain and wind. Some storm surge but not too bad.

Storm back end died some and so it weakened to a 2. It’s moving fast at 18MPH.

Watching the FSU game.

Good stuff. I just drove through Tuscaloosa and it was fine. Maybe a little windy.

Glad to hear this is subdued a bit (for a 2 annyways). Always great when it moves through. Hopefully it fizzles out quick and causes no one in any states any harm.

If it doesn’t bend back to the west as much as previously thought then Tuscaloosa may not get much rain.

Appears its going to east enough to miss Tuscaloosa getting massive drenching. We should be good to be by tomorrow night. That was close but we dodged the worst of it.

The current forecast is supporting this. Plus with our state of the art field irrigation system, I expect the field to be quite dry. Less risk of injury to both teams and supportive environment for real elite level football by both

They were showing the number of customers without power on one of the weather channels. It was hilarious that California came in third behind Florida and Alabama. It was actually rivaling Alabama for second place for awhile.

I kinda regret selling my tickets now but it was too risky at the time and the lady (no pics) is terrified of bad weather. She has PTSD from growing up in Miami

But I didn't want to drive or get stuck in that bullshite.

Atlanta is gonna get the worst of this. Not Birmingham or Tuscaloosa.

10pm advisory from the National Hurricane Center actually keeps the center east of Tuscaloosa. That would mean the worst if the wind would probably be east of Tuscaloosa, as well.

Took the wife and baby to my parents’ place in Enterprise thinking it was staying west. If we had stayed in Panama City, I’d have power right now and my CPAP would be doing its thing.
Hope everyone is safe.

My new fence gate lock was broken at some point last night due to the wind.

My female mini Schnauzer got out and ended up in the neighbor's yard. He didn't cut his grass this week so she got soaking wet.

Best of luck to everyone. So far all I've had is a couple of power flashes, wind and rain.

Tuscaloosa is good to go, don't even think I have a single limb down. Still a little windy and rainy but by lunch it's gonna be RMFT time.

We've had no power since last night around 9 pm. Ive been sick, haven't eaten for 3 days. Just felt good enough to turn the generator on. No major damage
