Mobile area voluntary evacuations begun, per Seidel. Looking for 20' tides. That spells trouble for I-10 Bay Bridge.
The weather buoy South of Dauphin Island (AL), which is South of Mobile (AL), is reporting 20 foot seas. This is almost due East of the Mouth of the Mississippi River (the buoy).
On the West side of the Mississippi River, the waves are 13 foot.
That 7 foot difference between the East and West sides of the Mouth of the Mississippi is an indication that East of the Mississippi River is going to hit alot harder than the West side -- the rotation of the storm dictates that.
Hopefully the USS Alabama will still be intact or not listing to one side (after the storm has passed by)...
