Sally is both meh-DOOM and mega-DOOM. [/quote] :lena: [/quote] Your by-lines at the bottom of your post is very apropos for this storm! "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!" was shouted out by Admiral Farragut during the Battle of Mobile Bay, which is exactly where Hurricane Sally is headed! "Farragut ordered the Union fleet into Mobile Bay, Ala., which was defended by several forts, the largest of which was Fort Morgan. A line of mines (“torpedoes”) on one side of the bay’s channel obliged any attacking ships to pass close to Fort Morgan on the other side of the channel, and the Confederate ironclad Tennessee was also stationed in the bay. Farragut’s force entered the bay in two columns (Aug. 5, 1864), with armored monitors leading and a fleet of wooden frigates following. When the lead monitor Tecumseh was demolished by a mine, the leading wooden ship Brooklyn stopped in alarm, and the whole line of ships drifted in confusion under the very guns of Fort Morgan. As disaster seemed imminent, Farragut shouted his famous words, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” to the hesitating Brooklyn. He swung his own ship, the Hartford, clear and headed across the mines, which failed to explode. The fleet followed him." The rest, as they say, is history. [/quote] Your 100 AC. Its has always been me favorite quote. [/quote]

Sally is forecast to slow down significantly as it approaches the coast, and this could lead to a prolonged period of rough weather for Alabama.
Look how it just sits on the gulf coast.
