My daughter is a freshman at UWA - Livingston, AL about 200 miles northeast of New Orleans) and she has never been in a hurricane or weather that caused her to even have classes dismissed. They have shut down classes for Monday and Tuesday and so I am praying for her as she weathers her first storm away from home (phoenix, AZ is home)...
I am just north of I-10 in Baldwin County, AL. It is dead calm right now. A tornado or two was seen 30 or so mile south of here before 7:00 pm according to news reports.
