That bears repeating.
That's true. There's been so much focus on NO (and justifiably so given the potential for extreme disaster) but Mobile could easily experience terrible destruction as well.
My wife's aunt is in Birmingham, AL. She called earlier and they said it's voluntarily evactuations right now. She said her husband went an filled the car up with gas, did a few things around the yard and house to prepare and then started packing a bag, she turned and told him "sit your ass down, we're not going anywhere". LOL!
They moved there from Orlando last year.
