CNN: AL news conference: Storm down to Cat 2, 100mph, but hurricane force winds still extend out more than 100 miles!

[Abigail Adams]

They're just saying now downgraded to Cat 1.

That will put it between Montgomery and B'ham. Our local station just announced that the airport here might have to close. They were advising everyone who has a flight out to check with the airlines or airport site. They also said we might have tornadoes plus wind and floods. We are on a high hill so that won't bother us but our basement always has water in it when we get a lot of rain. NW AL will get the worse rain, etc. The dividing line is I 65. I am worried about my family in northern MS. The line looked like it was going right over that area. My 101 year old mother is in a nursing home there.
