Everyone in lower Al get ready to hunker down..(hurricane)

Looks like we may get to see the game before we lose power. The forward momentum is fast though, so this
thing may stay strong all the way up through the state.

I've added the path track to the first post because it appears to update itself...

Yeah, that depends on what part you are talking about.

We've got a Boston butt smoking before it gets bad in Mobile. I made today's dessert last night so i could finish up prep today. Hopefully the power will stay on for the game, if not, I've got tons of batteries

A few more things in the yard to secure this morning and we'll be good here.

Hope you fare well. We were lucky in Ocala with Irma.

JBama, what does Wolf Bay in Orange Beach usually do during storms, I'm not familiar with it as much. My sister lives in a low lying area 1/4 mile from the bay and I'm *gently encouraging* her to come to Mobile (closer to the eye) to avoid surge.
Because my gentle encouragement sounds a bit like stark raving mad :/

Luckily this thing isn't a monster like some , but it will be bad enough. Tornados are my main concern since we're about 50 miles from the coast here.

Let me add a caveat.. shelter in an old trailer near the bay

I've lived thru a lot of these, and at present, this one doesn't seem too bad. My generators are ready to go, and we're packing up "loose" stuff in the yard this morning. As someone else said, tornadoes spawned off of it are likely to be the biggest threat. The thing is, though, these things seem to take a life all their own, so here's hoping and praying it stays a Cat 1 or lower for all concerned.

In true Bama fan fashion, my biggest concern at the moment......I have DirecTV so I'm certain to lose Satellite signal......just hope I don't lose internet as well before game is over. Roll Tide!

She could go further inland in Baldwin County. Though this storm isn’t consider a major event, if it were my family in a low lying area we would leave. Keep encouraging her.

My mom is in Elberta. Battening down the hatches.

Good luck to you all...stay safe, please! :wink:

Me too. The folks she lives with have no car & a bunch of kids, so they're just wait and see, and Baldwin County hasn't opened shelters.
I've offered to go get them before it gets bad, but no takers yet.

Nate is showing potential to grow into a strong Cat. 1 to maybe Cat.2. The difference between 95 and 100 MPH is not perceivable and both categories are dangerous to the areas that Nate will come ashore. The size of the storm is also growing. It is also crossing northeast Alabama as a strong tropical storm. Roll Tide

Strange that they haven’t opened shelters. Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties did that early this morning.

They just announced opening up the coliseum in Robertsdale at 1 as a last resort shelter. I wonder if the governor pressured them into it since the surrounding countries are being proactive.

As of 10am, the track has drifted slightly to the west and further north before it turns NE. Good for us bad for Miss.

Looks like it's going to be a tropical storm all the way into TenorC.

Edit: moved the NOAA path tracking to the top post since it updates itself.

Generator is at the ready- and thanks to the low level of panic here locally- gas, ice, water, etc. is plentiful and lines are short to nonexistent. Hoping the satellite signal will hang in for at least the first half of Bama/aTm.

I think they just dragged their feet on that. The Governor called a State of Emergency like yesterday.
