Great image. Love the reduced size too! :o)
Yeah, I gotta bone up on the html for sizing.
The image in post #154 scares the poop outta me.
I can almost see my house through that hole.
Sadly, for Gulf. It is expected take its time on land. A cat 2 when making land fall. A tropical depression before Montgomery. I’m in East central AL and vividly remember Hurricane Eloise. It came ashore near Dothan, but think and was still a hurricane when it got to us. I was in the AU Marching Band at band camp. Doc, the director, ended rehearsal and sent us home. Skies were blue! I barely made it home, 2 miles, when Eloise arrived.

Hey, there! Good luck, my prayers are with. Put a hatchet in your attic, just in case.
I hope Beauvoir and other fine place will be good.
Praying for your safety. Hoping you will be able to get fitful rest tonight.
At that speed, they are looking at 33 inches of rain!
Thanks, I already went to bed once.
Current track shows the storm eventually approaching the central AL/GA state line Thursday evening.
Yup, directly over my head between Montgomery and Auburn, and then to Viking’s place on the Al-Ga border.
Where you here for Opal in the 90s? That was very similar.
With the anticipated excessive rains, it won’t take much wind to bring down big trees.
It could be a marginal Cat Three when it hits the coast. We are right in the bullseye and really gotta watch the next couple of model runs. They keep revising the rainfall totals, which is currently going to make for a sloppy couple of days. If the forward motion slows any more, we could see a few civil emergency alerts pop up. It goes without saying, we’re going to get up close and personal with this one.
No, I wasn’t. But my parents were and lost many trees. A Pine tree did fall on their house.
I just checked weather.com. The center of that done is predicted to go south of I65. It will pass over Beauregard. They are still rebuilding from the March 3, 2019 tornado.
Don't call it the Azalea Trail for nuthin'.
You certainly save me from jumping all around the www -- trying to find "the right RADAR/Sat images"!!
TXnMA :-)
Thank you for your kind sentiments. Glad to assist with the storm coverage.
Not much warning on this one. I hope MeeMaw’s truckload-o-tranks gets thru on time!
