1. But at least, we in Georgia will be getting some

of her hangover rains.

2. We're having some really nice breezes right now with not-so-hard rain.

The really strong weather is supposed to come on Sunday. I hope it won't cause any problems.

3. Our forecast, 90 miles north of Mobile, calls for rain tomorrow!!??

But looking at the maps, the tracking, the radar loops, I don't see it. All the projections are for it to hit us late Sunday.
Still, they just changed the forecast this afternoon from 30% to 90% rain for the whole weekend.

5. NWS projection puts the center NW of B'ham Tue PM

Gawd, sometimes I wish I'd never left Alabama.

On the plus side, winter in western PA can be
AWESOME!!!

:bounce:

9. what is this "winter" whereof you speak????

:evilgrin:

[liberaltrucker]

13. White stuff called "snow" actually falls from the air!

And sometimes it accumulates on the ground!

Usually a few inches but occasionally a couple
of feet. Shoveling it off the walkway is GREAT
exercise!

8. I guess it'll be early to mid-morning when it comes through my area. It depends

on how slow- or fast-moving it is. Generally, if we haven't had a hurricane by late August or early September, it's doubtful we'll have one at all; there are always exceptions to the rule to be concerned about, though.

I hope your area won't have any problems, either. You're as close to the water as I. Our home is in between the Mississippi River & Pontchartrain Lake (huge lake). The Gulf of Mexico is probably a 100 miles away, but considering all the bodies of water surrounding us, we're practically in a soup bowl.

Take care, dixiegrrrrl. :hi:

10. Hey pacalo...poor LA has had way too much crap thrown at it.

And we both know a 100 miles inland means little when there is nothing but flat low lying land between the Gulf and our houses..

I picked our area because we are a whopping 464 feet above sea level....lol.

14. (Putting dixiegrrrrl on hold...) Is that the BEST YOU COULD DO, LEE?

Sorry, dixiegirrrrl -- The tropical storm was nothing more than rain, rain, rain with gusty winds.

Nothing to worry about. :hug:

[liberaltrucker]

4. Jokes aside, stay safe

:hi:

[pacalo]

7. Aw, thanks, liberaltrucker.

:hi:

We're used to this nasty weather at this time of year. As long as the roads are okay to drive on, we'll be fine. :)

6. Stagger Lee

we could have used that rain over her ...:shrug:

11. we have had rain for the last twenty four hours

here on the Alabama Gulf Coast. It will probably rain straight through Monday. I was so looking forward to the beach this weekend until Lee showed up. Party pooper!!!!

12. Worst. Civil War Re-enactment. Ever.

I suppose Grant is the sober one, right?
