We here in SE Alabama just got heavy rainfall from this disturbance a few hours ago...

[Lakewood]

Right now Apalachicola airport reporting winds out of the SE at 6 mph. Tyndall AFB reporting winds out of the E at 8 mph.

Hi.

Thanks for the updates.

So, it’s circa 1983 mid September, and we are camping at Ft. Desoto park.

Listening to the radio weather report, and all of a sudden, we got gust up to 30 knts. Rain squals and the tent is not secure.

Next thing you know, high tide got a lot higher, and there are tornado warnings.

We exited the AO as quickly as possible.

The storm I’m referring to is the, “No name” storm.

Caused millions in property damage and 5 deaths.

Good thing you got out of dodge quickly.

We are approaching the 20th anniversary of Gabrielle, which sneaked up on us shortly after 9/11. Nobody was paying attention to the weather. It was the only time I saw my street become a river, and half my front yard was under water too.

I live in MB and heavy rain, but no wind to speak of. Here is a live video feed of the MB canal area: https://livestream.weatherstem.com/bay/fswnmexicobch/fswnmexicobchsouth.jpg

Most have been dreary all summer with as much rain as we’ve had.

[Joe Brower]

Yep, looks like the northern part of the state is in for some precipitation.

NHC Update indicates Mindy is a little stronger, with sustained winds 45 mph. Moving at a fast clip, not expected to stall.

[Kartographer]

What’s the chances it will meet up with Larry and they have a date?

Thunderstorms from this system woke me up here in Mobile this morning.

I've read that Mindy will not affect Louisiana.

Fortunately, Mindy didn’t get wound up until shortly before landfall, limiting ability to strengthen. Thankfully, avoiding LA too.
