Hey L.A.'s (Lower Alabamians) Be safe!

[bamademo]

Who's evacuating and where are you going? It looks like our whole state is going to get rock and roll weather. Hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, oh my!

Edited to explain the LA reference for our non Bama DU'ers.

1. In L.A....

we get rockin' rollin' earthquakes--shake baby shake!

[bamademo]

2. In Bama, LA=Lower Alabama

I've been in 2 earthquakes here in Northern Alabama. Woke up in the middle of the night one time to see shelves rocking and I felt the bed shaking. I thought, "Damn, I didn't think I had that much to drink!". Turns out it was a 4. something.

4. On The Eastern Side Here

the roughest side of the storm. Oh well, we've been through it before.

9. Me, too, darlin'

Hold on tight, I'm thinking of you down there!



:hug:

5. Everyone stay safe!

I heard that Riley has called for evacuation of Mobile and Baldwin counties, and that I-65 will go all northbound up to Montgomery Saturday morning.

Destin/Ft. Walton is under mandatory evacuation south of highway 20.

This is really horrible for the folks near the coast (and even those not-so near).

Crossing my fingers that Dennis won't get very strong again. He dropped down to a Category 2 while passing over Cuba.

6. they're saying up to 80 mph wind all the way up here in Tuscaloosa

I hope they're wrong about that. If not, we'll be out of power for days on end probably. And that's if we don't get blown away.

[southlandshari]

11. I'll slow him down as best I can, Syrinx,

before he knocks at your door. But you'll owe me one. Big time!

:P

[Syrinx]

12. thanks

You're my enforcer! I was thinking of siccing my dog Elvis on Dennis, but Elvis wasn't keen on the idea.

Some vanilla-raspberry moon pies for you, darling. ;)

[southlandshari]

13. A new flavor!

But why am I not surprised it would be you to find that for me?

:loveya:

[Syrinx]

14. with you kicking Dennis' ass and all...

It was the least I could do!

[BamaLefty]

18. Vanilla Raspberry Moon Pies?

I wonder if you could heat them over a candle... since I'll be losing power soon and will be without a microwave? ;)

[BamaGirl]

7. I haven't decided yet.

We're on the east side of it, which sucks :P and my husband just called me from drill and said they are probably getting activated for 4-7 days. We already have tropical storm and flood watches up here.
Anyway, if this thing shifts more towards PCB, we'll leave otherwise doubt I'm going anywhere. My parents have been calling and bugging me about getting up there with the kids, but I don't know if we'll really be better off in north Atlanta lol.

8. Dennis is back to a Cat 3 with more than 24 hours left before landfall.

[southlandshari]

10. Category 4 now

Yikes - this is getting pretty scary.

:scared:

[Syrinx]

15. F***K!!

They're saying a direct hit on Gulf Shores. Possibly as a Category 5 hurricane!

Landfall at high tide!

We're screwed!

[bamademo]

16. Y'all come stay with me in Huntsville.

But you'd better hurry. Poor Dauphin Island.

[BamaLefty]

17. Aimed At Me!

[BamaLefty]

19. Goodbye Cruel World

:cry:

J/K :rofl:

[bamademo]

20. Is everyone OK? I pushed Dennis to Jeb's state.

Looks like Alabama got a reprive. Surely by now Jeb knows he's the brunt of karmic retribution for 2000. Inherit the wind, sucker!

Seriously, I wish my Florida neighbors no harm but Jeb deserves the hassle.

:evilgrin:

[southlandshari]

24. Thanks, bamademo!

We owe ya one! Now can focus some of that magic karma on the other brother. Ick. Hey...I wonder what the "G" storm name is for this year... wouldn't that be appropriate?

}(

[Syrinx]

28. just looked it up

The "G" storm will be Gert. Wonder what Wes Clark thinks of that?

[ncrainbowgrrl]

21. I hope that all of our DU Alabama friends are safe and sound!

:hi: everyone!

[BamaLefty]

22. Fine And Dandy Here!

[southlandshari]

23. Cyberson!

I'm so glad you are ok! I heard tornado warnings in your county on the radio this afternoon. We lost power for about seven hours, but it looks like the worst - which was far weaker than imagined - has passed us.

:hi:

[BamaLefty]

26. Funny how I never lost power.

:shrug:

[southlandshari]

25. Thanks for checking in!

:hug:

[Syrinx]

27. why'd they want to scare us like that?

It really didn't get all that bad here. Though we just got electricity back.

I'm glad everyone made it through without major problems!
