If it’s near you’ll know unless it’s very fast moving. The sound is hard to describe, but freight train is as close as you’ll get. Your ears will probably pop from the pressure change, sort of like descending in a plane or going up a mointain in a car. Since you’ve got time to prepare, you might want to drag a mattress into that interior hallway and pull it over yourself if it actually does hit.
After the initial touchdown, it jumped through midtown and downtown before heading out of Mobile heading towards Prichard and counties north of here. Murphy HS (for any of you that know our area) has significant damage and windows are blown out at Mobile Infirmary. The area of town that was hit is our most historical area and there are many homes that were damaged or flattened....this is what I’m hearing on the radio this morning. Thank all for your thoughts and prayers for us down here.
