Alabama thread!

Have a good one

 

How did you find those? I need to get my hands on some used ones.

I want them without the fill plates, but that’s a good deal! I gotta check out Craigslist more often. I’m gonna have to consider those.

 

Could you cut the fill plates out? On my SOS ones, it looks like it'd be fairly easy as they're not completely welded all the way around.

 

I mean, I can’t, but I might have friend who could. That’s a good suggestion. I’m going to contact that seller.

 

You can see where mine are welded. I wouldn't think it'd be hard to cut them off with an angle grinder.

 

Morning y’all.

I may need a refill of coffee before heading in to work today.

 

@Thunder Fist these are the ones I bought.

 

Sup fellas

 

Getting the juices flowing

 

Shit, I'm starting to wrap it up

 

I never did like 2nd or 3rd shifts.

Too easy to get lazy, not workout, and sleep too much.

 

I've always been a night owl.

 

We'll let you know, don't know what's planned for that weekend yet.

 

Morning Bama!

Mornin' Phil, you ready for Coppingers Cove?

 

From AlabamaWX

COOL MORNING: The sky is cloudy over the southwest part of the state early this morning with some patchy light rain, but for North and Central Alabama it is clear and cool. Some early morning temperatures include…

Black Creek 54

Albertville 55
Cullman 56
Fort Payne 56
Good Hope 56
Decatur 57
Huntsville 57
Anniston 58

Sunny, pleasant weather continues over the northern half of the state today with a high in the upper 70s… clouds linger over the southern part of the state with some light rain near the coast. Tomorrow will be a partly sunny day with a high in the mid to upper 70s over the northern counties, with clouds hanging tough over South Alabama.

RAIN RETURNS STATEWIDE: Clouds will increase statewide Wednesday, and the rain shield associated with Tropical Storm Beta moves into West Alabama during the day. Rain becomes likely state statewide Wednesday night and Thursday as Beta is forecast to be a remnant low over Mississippi by Thursday night. For now, we do not expect a tornado threat as the air will be cool and stable, and the surface low will be weak.

FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND: The weather will be cloudy and occasionally wet on these three days as deeper tropical moisture will linger over the state. Look for periods of rain Friday through Sunday with a few thunderstorms possible as well. There will be breaks in the rain, of course, but if you have something planned outdoors (like high school football games Friday night) be ready for rain at times. Humidity levels will be high, and highs will be at or just over 80 degrees each day. Rain amounts Wednesday night through Sunday will be in the 2-4 inch range over North Alabama, and 1-2 inches for the southern half of the state.

NEXT WEEK: Another cool, dry airmass rolls into here Sunday night, and for now next week looks dry with sunny pleasant days and clear cool nights. Highs will be mostly in the 70s, with lows in the 50s. See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



TROPICS: Hurricane Teddy, with winds of 100 mph, will pass just east of Bermuda today before heading for Nova Scotia Wednesday as a post-tropical system. No impact on the U.S. other than rough surf on the east coast.



Tropical Storm Beta will hug the Texas and Louisiana coasts today through Wednesday, winding up in Mississippi as remnant low Thursday. The main impact will be heavy rain; rain amounts of 4-6 inches are possible for places like Houston, Galveston, Port Arthur, and Lake Charles. A few isolated waterspouts or brief tornadoes can’t be ruled out.



Elsewhere in the tropics, Wilfred has dissipated in the open Atlantic, and the “ghost of Paulette” in the northeast Atlantic has some chance of regenerating. But no systems other than Beta are close to the U.S.

ON THIS DATE IN 1989: Just before midnight, Hugo made landfall on Isle of Palms, South Carolina as a Category 4 hurricane. This storm brought strong winds to many areas of South Carolina. In Downtown Charleston, sustained winds of 87 mph were reported; along with gusts of 108 mph. Hugo was the strongest hurricane to landfall on the continental U.S. in two decades. Along the coast of South Carolina, Hugo set new records for storm surge heights along the U.S. East Coast, reaching 20.2 feet near McClellanville, South Carolina. The surge and winds wrought extensive damage across South Carolina’s barrier islands, destroying many beachfront homes and other coastal installations. Hugo’s northward acceleration at landfall led to unusually large and significant impacts to forests between South Carolina and Virginia, inflicting further damage to property; in South Carolina alone the loss of timber was estimated at $1.04 billion. Flood and wind impacts followed Hugo across much of the eastern United States and into eastern Canada.

 

surprised they were still there. Been on Craigslist for a couple weeks.
