Alabama thread!

Sup Jeff!

 

fun little drive in this morning...

just bee-bopping along about 50-52mph on the parkway (50mph speed limit), and this CRV comes out of nowhere right up beside me in the left lane and just nails their brakes to come down to my speed. I'm like "what the heck?!" Then I realize some ass-wipe in a little silver car (Cruze I think) was tailgating them hardcore so they brake checked them and then just matched my speed. Shoot, I'll play. I look over and it's two middle-aged women in the CRV and I just gave them a thumbs up, which they found hysterical. So we just ride 50mph side by side for about 4-5 overpasses on the parkway before jackass in the silver car finally floors it over to an exit ramp and cuts us both off to get in front of us. We look at each other and just smile, oh well...that was fun. They got a lot of enjoyment out of me being willing to participate lol

 

I’m good! Just working long days. Everybody now wants their pool open. I guess they can’t stand the kids in the house any longer.

Yes, I’m wet again from the sky. Trying not to complain. Get a little tried of it.

 

We're close to opening our pool up too. My boys are fighting like cats and dogs being cooped up in the house all day! Time to give them some lawnmowing chores while we're at work! lol

 

Not good news for Easter Sunday. The verbiage "Outbreak" is not what you like to hear.

From AlabamaWX

STORMY START: Strong storms are over West Alabama as I write this post just before daybreak; severe thunderstorm warnings were required for parts of Pickens, Tuscaloosa, Greene, Hale, and Sumter counties. These storms will weaken soon, and rain will end by mid-morning as drier air works into the state. The sky becomes sunny today with a high between 75 and 80 degrees for most communities. The average high for Birmingham on April 9 is 73.

TOMORROW/SATURDAY: Look for mostly sunny days and fair cool nights. The high tomorrow will be in the mid 60s, followed by a 70 degree maximum Saturday. Colder pockets will visit the 30s early Saturday morning with some potential for scattered light frost; lows will be in the 37-44 degree range. Clouds will increase late Saturday into Saturday night.

EASTER SUNDAY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT: All ingredients are coming together for the potential for severe thunderstorms across Alabama and the Deep South on Sunday. SPC has already defined a high end, 30 percent risk of severe storms Sunday for the southern half of the state, with the standard 15 percent probability up to the Tennessee state line.



Ingredients for a potential severe thunderstorm outbreak appear likely to come together Sunday into Sunday night. An ejecting shortwave trough is forecast to take on a neutral to somewhat negative tilt by Sunday afternoon as it moves quickly east-northeastward across the Southeast states. Rich low-level moisture will be drawn inland from the Gulf of Mexico in advance of a deepening surface low that will move from the mid-Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Valley by Monday morning.

We expect a very favorable environment for organized convection, including the potential for long-track supercells and a corresponding strong tornado risk. Very strong low/mid level flow fields will also support widespread damaging wind potential.

For now it looks like the best chance of severe thunderstorms in Alabama will come Sunday afternoon and Sunday night. Now is the time to be sure your NOAA Weather Radio is programmed properly with a fresh battery. Be sure Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) on your phone are enabled, and have the free ABC 33/40 app on your phone as well. Know your tornado action plan, and in that safe place have helmets, portable air horns, and hard sole shoes for everyone. If you live in a mobile home, know where you are going, and the quickest way of getting there. Be prepared, have a plan. This is April in Alabama and these kind of days can easily happen this time of the year.

NEXT WEEK: The weather looks generally dry through the week with below average temperatures. We will likely see one or two mornings with potential for a late season freeze and frost across North/Central Alabama… growers will need to keep a close eye on temperature forecasts. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1947: An estimated F5 tornado struck Woodward, Oklahoma during the late evening killing 95 persons and causing six million dollars damage. The tornado, one to two miles in width, and traveling at a speed of 50 mph, killed a total of 167 persons along its 221-mile path from Texas into Kansas, injured 980 others, and caused nearly ten million dollars damage.

 

Well guy thats daughter got tested for it is back at work, don't know if she has it

 

Supposed to quarantine yourself if you think you've been exposed. Very selfish decision on their part.

 

Agreed he did two days, don't have results back. Says doctor told him if he didn't have signs he wasn't contagious, I thought it could not show signs for two weeks?

 

You can be asymptomatic and still spread the virus, that's one of the main reasons why it's spread at such a fast rate.

 

Yea that's what I thought, would not expect any different from this place.

 

You're correct. He might not show symptoms at all but be contagious. Not sure the Doctor would say that because some people show no symptoms but are infected. People that don't follow the W.H.O. guidelines is why this thing will keep going on and on and on and on and on far into the summer. We might get back to normal by Christmas. There have also been false negatives reported. Somebody should make him go home.

 

That's the point of self quarantine for two weeks, if you think you have been exposed. It doesn't matter if you don't feel sick.

Avoid this person at all costs...

 

Avoid this person like the coronavirus, er, the plague!

 

Damn it's my nephew's birthday today and I just realized my little nephew is 43

 

don't react too much, you might hurt your back.

 

The selfish people are easy to spot during all of this. I was told somebody showed up to our office from Florida. This is why I moved my office to the house. You can't control people that just don't understand how it works. There is no reason for that person to be in the office that traveled from a highly infected area. It's also easy to spot who would die first in a zombie apocalypse.

 

Got told we could go home if we wanted to, sounded like a for good type deal. That boss wasn't worried about it, family business by the way and my uncle.

 

I'm good, I dont have someone cracking the whip so I can go as fast or slow as I want to.

 

One of my all-time favorite movies!
