North Central Gulf Coast gonna get really wet again?

[Darrell KSR]

Well, I decided to stay up and do a little bit of work. My computer is right beside a window and I can hear the wind and rain falling. It's still not bad.

But now I am going to go to sleep. Or at least I will try.

Knock on wood it has been ok so far. Wind gusts are strong. Amateur weather watchers reporting wind gusts between 72 and 76 mph about 8 miles from here. Worst winds are yet to come when the south wall passes. No rain with the south wall, but very strong winds.

[MickintheHam]

The eye will pass just south of here in a few minutes. It has just been downgraded from hurricane to tropical storm. Looks like an hour or two more of strong winds. This storm is moving very fast at 31 mph.

[MickintheHam]

The winds are dead calm no rain. All I can hear is water gushing down the street. Wind will pick up again in a few minutes. Just lost power.

Did you Bammies make it through the night?

We were fine. Power flickered a couple of times, but we didn't lose it.

@AllisonChinchar: There are more people without power right now in Georgia than there are in Louisiana and Alabama combined! #Zeta https://poweroutage.us https://twitter.com/AllisonChinchar/...595650/photo/1

Everything here was fine. Had to clear the driveway before I could get out.

People who live at elevation seemed to have the highest winds. I live along the river valley which seemed to fair much better. Daughter lives on top of the mountain. They had a lot of trees down in her meighborhood.

Oh wow. That's not far from me. Hope they are OK.

I saw on the Shelby County dispatch that there was an obstruction on Meadowbrook Road, too, but I haven't been away from home this morning.

Looks like I’m just south of 3” on the rain tally since last night.

2.6 inches here at my official weather station in my back yard.

Oh, my... This was at my office. Or, I should say my former office, as I moved from there a few months ago when the firm I was with departed.

It was this morning, but as the story says, no indication whether that was storm related or not.

I just sold a Mustang that got parked in a pond. So have them call me.

Trunks open, thankfully they got the weed out before authorities arrived.
