Quote: We here in Southern Alabama are also under a tornado warning until 6:00 p.m. this evening. The Causeway was becoming overcome with water this morning on my way in to work. The wind is up there also. At least for those of us driving SUVs and such. My parents are off of Dog River and they already had half their huge yard under water this morning. Downstairs from where I work (one-half block off of Water Street) they have sand bags in place. This storm is affecting so many people.
Kimberly, God bless and good luck! You are actually under a tornado "watch", which means conditions are quite favorable for tornadic activity. If you should come under a warning, please heed that! It means a tornado is immanent in your local area. There is a bit of a difference between the intended states of alertness with "watch" vs "warning".
Nevertheless, the entire area of the Upper Gulf Coast, W of the Pensacola is in one way or the other being affected by this tempest. In a way, she is worse for you folks than the prognostics of the earlier days. She's been entraining dry air in gulps over the past 24 hours and this has caused a few mechanical changes in her core..One of which is to expand her wind field to encompass a greater area. This is actually worse for storm weary denizens of New Orleans and other areas of the Louisiana Delta, because otherwise may have meant a storm passing safely SW; close, but still safe. In this situation, (and barring a radical change of heading toward the N which would have to begin right now!), you will still unfortunatley have to contend with tropical storm force wind gust in heavier squalls, which is really akin to pouring salt into a festering wound.
Hopefully you have the ability to stay tuned to your local municipalities and can follow their instructions during the course of this unbelievable indirect attack. Peace.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center
