Alabama thread!

I may be interested. I wouldn't mind having them for the camp trailer I went with the 880lbs for my truck.

 

You shall now be known as “Big Flexin Phil”.

 

I don't know how much flex you need for #concretelanding

 

Curbs be serious bizness yo.

 

Well, shit.

guy I sat beside at work had symptoms last night and is being tested today, so I’m being sent home because of contact tracing.

Casino isn’t removing chips. When the Casino request 8 boxes of chips the maker only sends 4 due to what supply is on hand. Gamblers sometimes request whole boxes of chips and there are a ton of gamblers and not enough boxes of chips. There are more than enough chips in circulation they are just at everyone’s home in jars.

 

Lady that works in the same room with me tested positive last week, but, they didn't send us home.
Stay safe buddy. Hope you're clear.

 

I've got no symptoms, but probably will be required to quarantine if he tests positive. This is the 2nd time I've been through the 2 week quarantine lol

 

Wow! I hope you're getting some kind of compensation for time lost.

 

From AlabamaWX

SUN, HEAT, STORMS: More classic summer weather is ahead for Alabama today through the weekend. Partly sunny, hot, humid days with scattered showers and storms, mostly during the afternoon and evening hours, when the air is most unstable. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing the exact placement and coverage of the storms that fire up on a daily basis this time of the year; odds of any one spot getting wet today will be 25/30 percent… probably not as many as what we experienced yesterday. The high will be in the 92-95 degree range this afternoon; the average high for July 22 at Birmingham is 91.

The probably of one location seeing an afternoon shower or storm tomorrow through the weekend will be 20/25 percent each day, and highs will remain in the low to mid 90s. Most of the scattered showers and thunderstorms will come from 1:00 until 9:00 p.m.

NEXT WEEK: Not much change, although some global models suggests a weak front could approach Alabama by mid-week, perhaps enhancing coverage of showers and thunderstorms by Wednesday. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



TROPICS: The “wave train” is beginning to crank up as we head toward the peak of the tropical season, which comes in August and September. Tropical Depression Seven, in the Atlantic between the coast of Africa and the Lesser Antilles, should become Tropical Storm Gonzalo this morning. This compact system will move across the Windward Islands Saturday, and into the open Caribbean Sunday. Although the cyclone is likely to remain in an environment of fairly low shear, the influences of dry air and large-scale subsidence (sinking motion) could inhibit strengthening in a few days. It remains to be seen if this will survive, or ultimately impact the Gulf of Mexico or the U.S. Just something to watch for now.



A tropical wave is moving through the Central Gulf of Mexico; it has some potential to become a tropical depression over the next 24-48 hours as it moves westward. One way or another, the main impact will be potential for heavy rain over parts of Texas late in the week. While this wave will remain south of Alabama and the Central Gulf Coast, it will bring the danger of rip tides in the area from Gulf Shores over to Panama City Beach through the rest of the week.



BIG SHAKER: A major, magnitude 7.8 struck off the southeast coast of the Alaskan peninsula early this morning. The quake, whose focus was at a depth of six miles, prompted the US National Tsunami Warning Center to issue a tsunami warning for the region, but it has been cancelled.

HIT AND MISS: Summer soakers brought heavy rain to parts of Alabama yesterday, but others were bone dry. A good example was in East Alabama; our Skywatcher at Heflin reported 2.17″ of rain, but just one county over, Jacksonville had 0.00″.

ON THIS DATE IN 1988: Dust devils are not a unique phenomenon, but usually they stay minimal. This was not the case in Dickinson County, Iowa where a powerful dust devil developed on the edge of Lake Okoboji. It picked up whole sections of several docks and swept away all of the loose dirt in the area. Estimated winds exceeded 60 mph

From NHC

 

I am capable of "working" from home, albeit less productive. So it's no time lost actually.

 

Could you just get tested and cleared?

 

Nope, because they still aren’t testing if you don’t have symptoms that warrant it. At least without a doctors note, I’ve been told. It’s 5-7 days for results he was told this morning so almost 2 weeks of work anyways. Since we are capable of working from home, just in a limited sense, they just go ahead and have us do that for caution.

 

Take the two weeks at home. The test is freaking horrible! They basically put a long Q-tip up your nose and try to touch your eye with it.

 

just got word that he is possibly receiving the "rapid test" whatever the hell that means. apparently his symptoms were enough to warrant it, and we should know today if he's positive or not.

 

I thought you had the 112's, but I could be wrong. Count the amount of leaves and we can verify.

 

he tested negative!
