I really hope it does weaken.
We had one come through yesterday he in FL that had 60-70 mph straight line winds that were just incredible.
That storm apparently capsized a number of boats in Mobile Bay and killed a number of people who were out on the water for some event yesterday.
But yeah I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a train being blown off the Huey P before.
I live in Mobile. The storm over the weekend came in very quickly. I believe it arrived much sooner than expected.
The worst part of the storm today went south of the Mobile area. I hope for the sake of those in Florida that its not so bad when it gets there.

Saw that pic...
The cars appear to be double-stacked containers, all but one of which were empty.
Here is another link for this story with comments. Someone explained and it could also be seen in the picture that some of these cars were double stacked and more vulnerable to wind pressure. From the video, you can see an electrical flash from a light pole and the Cane’s sign temporarily goes off, then back on.
