Living in Alabama can really suck lol. I speak from experience as well. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and some of the nastiest severe thunderstorms imaginable - we tend to get it all around here. I think mother nature doesn\'t like us very much.
I hope you pull through it ok Tommy. I have an old high-school buddy who lives down in Foley, so I\'m worried about him too.
With the eastern side of the storm projected to hit like you say, I\'m sure it\'s gonna fire up all kinds of nasty crap in west/central AL as it moves in - which is where I\'m at (just 20 minutes outside of B\'ham). Having barely survived the April 27th tornado outbreak last year, I\'m thankful we made it through with very little damage (essentially 45% of my town was leveled that day - wife and I got REAL lucky based on where we are). I just hope it simmers down and all we really get is lots of rain. Like we need that either though - El Niño has been pretty generous to us this year already. I worry about flooding for sure. It\'s already been an issue this summer in some areas near here.
Stay safe man!
