Alabama thread!

Sounds like fun. Cant wait to see her all done

 

It has been 10 years since the UAH shooting! I cannot believe how time has flown. I was walking by the building after a test when the shooting happened, got a call from my dad that I really needed to get off campus but he didn't know what was going on.....got to my truck as fast as I could and as soon as I got off campus they put it on lockdown. I still remember the feelings like it was yesterday. That one hit way too close to home...Charge On.

for those that may not know the story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Alabama_in_Huntsville_shooting

 

We recently had an active shooter alert within our company. Fortunately the guy didn’t go in and try to kill a bunch of people. It started out as a domestic dispute in the parking lot and the guy ended up shooting his wife. She then ran into one of the buildings at work where he shot and killed her then killed himself right after. People do crazy things that’s for sure.

 

Morning Bama!

 

Wonder if this guy is on here.

From AlabamaWX

MILD/BREEZY DAY: Today will be a mostly cloudy, mild, and breezy day for Alabama with a few passing showers; temperatures will reach the upper 60s and low 70s this afternoon with a gusty south wind of 12-25 mph by afternoon. With saturated soil conditions, and many creeks and streams out of their banks, a flash flood watch remains in effect for roughly the northern half of Alabama. But, rain amounts during the day today should remain under 1/4″ inch for most communities.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL TONIGHT: An approaching cold front will bring a narrow band of strong to severe thunderstorms to Alabama tonight. With limited instability and weak lapse rates (due to warmer air aloft), the threat will be limited, but there will be good dynamic forcing with an upper trough lifting out of the Southwest U.S.

SPC has a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms identified tonight for that part of Alabama north of a line from Toxey to Linden to Calera to Spring Garden… with “marginal risk” (level 1/5) down to Spanish Fort, Greenville, and Lafayette. No severe storms are expected over Southeast Alabama.



TIMING: A narrow line of storms will enter the northwest corner of the state around 8:00 tonight; it should reach Huntsville/Jasper/Tuscaloosa by 11pm… Birmingham/Gadsden by 1am… and Anniston by 2am. The storms will weaken as they push deeper into East Alabama.

THREATS: The main threat from this line of storms will come from strong, gusty winds. However, some small hail will be possible. And, a brief, isolated tornado can’t be totally ruled out, but is not likely.

Keep in mind with the saturated soil conditions, it will make it easier for some trees to come down with the gusty winds associated with the line of thunderstorms tonight.

RAIN: Rain amounts of around 1/2 inch are likely with the passing line of storms tonight; some temporary flooding issues are possible.

TOMORROW: The best chance of rain during the day tomorrow will be over the southern half of the state, but severe storms are not expected there. For North and Central Alabama, clouds will linger much of the day, and temperatures will fall through the 50s with a brisk northwest wind.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: Friday and Saturday will feature a good supply of sunshine both days with cold mornings; lows will be in the 25-32 degree range. The high Friday will be in the upper 40s, followed by mid 50s Saturday. The latest model data now suggests Sunday will be dry for the northern half of the state with high clouds; any rain should be confined to the southern quarter of Alabama. Sunday’s high will be in the low 60s.

NEXT WEEK: While a shower is possible Monday, rain seems more likely Tuesday through Wednesday as a surface front creeps into Alabama and becomes nearly stationary. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1958: Snow blanketed northern Florida, with Tallahassee reporting a record 2.8 inches. A ship in the Gulf of Mexico, 25 miles south of Fort Morgan Alabama, reported zero visibility in heavy snow on the afternoon of the 12th.

 

No more rain! Bring us 2 ft of snow instead!

 

Yep. Lots of power outages.

 

Very easily. We haven't received near as much rain as you guys but our yard is mush. Seriously need a month with no rain.

We're driving down to Mobile in the morning. Mobile is under a flood warning from 9pm Saturday to 9pm Tuesday. Will be interesting to see how high the creeks and streams are on the way down.

Anybody going to be in Mobile this weekend?

 

BoatUS saved us this past summer. 11 miles out, dead in the water, towed us back in. I see your sticker there on the Pelican.

 

Was a long ride in. Our friend just had his motor rebuilt, older boat, 32'. We accessed the motor but could never find the issue. Thought it was the fuel pump but nope. Was a lose wire we couldn't see. LOL. Crazy how something so minuscule will leave you stranded.

It was a bad day for fishing all around. Tow boats were overwhelmed with calls. We had to wait over an hour just for them to be available to come. At least we weren't taking on water though. Heard a call of a 21' or so center console, taking on water, 18 miles out. Then heard the mayday calls an hour later. SMH. Thankful to be back on dry land that day.

 

Some days I think you just aren't meant to be out on the water haha

 

Blasphemy

 

Remind me to put on my life jacket if I ever go fishing with you! lol

 

Hit a man when he is down.... looking at another this weekend, older boat but clean as a whistle

 

Truth. Very next day we didn't go out, Friend and his son did. They slayed em. Seas calm, Sunny, no wind.

 

Love it!

 

Hey yall just bought my first Tacoma, checking in from Huntsville!

 

Welcome to the nuthouse!
