Been increasing in strength the last 2 hours. Quoting: Turd Ferguson, Jr. Just a reminder to the rest of the world: we get at least 5 feet of rain annually. I remember one year we got 8 feet. The elevation isn't very high but the drainage is very good. Unlike metro Houston we didn't pave 50% of the surface area of three counties. There will be flooding but it's nothing we aren't used to. Back in '96 or '97 Hurricane Danny did just what Sally is doing. Some areas got 40+ inches in 3 days, most of it in one day. Back in '14 we had a spring cold front dump 10 inches in my back yard in 2 hours, then 5 more inches that night. Some places are made for super heavy rain and SW Alabama is one of those places. We'll be fine. Thanks for the reality check. I lived there when building austal shipyard. That's a lovely place to live. Especially during Mardi gras. I lived there for a year. Austal had two of those Littoral Combat ships docked last weekend. Those things look badass. Glad you enjoyed your time here. It's laid back but just an hour away from excitement. I lived on north royal street. Downtown. I had seafood every other night. The seafood market was in a bad area of town but I never had a problem. The ships they produce are ones you never see on TV. They build 1 ship every 3 months with out armaments ofcourse. |

User ID: 77418269 United States 09/15/2020 08:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The familiar song of hurricane moan is starting. Fading in and out. Quoting: Deplorableduckhunter It's coming from up above. Wind not too bad at the surface. Yet Holy shit that's a horrible sound. Hope you have better backup brother. Keep us updated as long as you safe to do so. Thank you, I will. Have a jury rigged power cable out to the Airstream. Just a receptacle on some romex actually. Got it up off the ground in my last round outside so maybe it won't short out. Miracle we still have power in this neighborhood with all the trees. I am set up for AZ boondocking. Fair amount of battery capacity so I should be able to stay on line long as I have cell. Last Edited by Deplorableduckhunter on 09/15/2020 08:06 PM |

Lol GFIC ain't happening tonight:) Will be surprised if the power stays on much longer anyway. I am parked by the house resurrection project just completed. A young couple moved in a month or so ago. My RV pad setup outback is just getting off the ground. I moved the trailer out of the back yesterday from under the trees, but I'm going to be side on the wind when it gets ugly later tonight. But it is pretty sheltered and I am pretty ballasted down in the rig since I am a full time RV type. Hopefully I won't roll. |

It's been sitting there all day. Not even 1 single rain band has made it up here yet. The breezes feel nice. |

Lived there for 7 years from age 4 to 11, and all up and down the fiords on both sides, there were bonfires as far as you could see. At the time, they were made of telephone poles in a teepee shape that burned all day and night. Quite a spectacular sight, to say the least. Apparently they are using pallets now and have the record for the largest at 34 meters tall. |
