Alabama thread!

Are you in that area? I may or may not have a vested interest in Hoover City Schools.

 

I'm available if you need help? Text me

 

If you want to throw that wood to the side, I'll come get it and use it as firewood!

 

Sure am, man. I live in Bluff Park and have a son in the school system. And I actually get to do a some volunteer work with several schools in the area.

 

Man I’ve got trees I cut down in late spring/early summer that are ready to be chopped up and put in the fireplace. All hardwood. You or anyone here can have as much as you want. My wife would love to see them gone haha. I’d be happy to help cut up and drag out with the tractor.

 

I’ll get with you on this!

 

Neat. I won’t doxx you by asking any more details. Our paths may cross in the future.

 

PM me, bro. Also, @JKU3000 could probably answer any questions you have.

 

System at work been up and down all morning. Ugh! Makes a long day longer. Wife confirmed 1.2 M without power.

 

They got the forecast pretty spot on I'd say.

 

From AlabamaWX



As of 11:20 am, we may have a few sprinkles or light showers falling over the northeast corner of North/Central Alabama, especially close to the Alabama/Georgis State Line. The rest of the area has a mix of sun and clouds. Temperatures are in the mid-60s to the lower 80s across the area. The cool spot is Cullman at 66 degrees. Troy is the warm spot at 82 degrees. Birmingham was sitting at 71 degrees. A few of the reporting stations may be down due to the effects of Zeta.

Any shower activity that is currently out there at this point will continue to diminish and we’ll be dry throughout the mid-afternoon and evening hours. A good shot of cooler air continues to move into the area as afternoon highs will be in the lower 60s to the lower 80s across the area, but overnight lows will be down in the lower 40s to the lower 50s with partly cloudy skies.

Friday will start off with some clouds, but those will be decreasing throughout the day. We’ll be dry and cool across the area with afternoon highs only reaching the upper 50s to the upper 60s. Much of the same story for your Saturday, but temperatures will be a little warmer, reaching the mid-60s to the lower 70s. Look for temperatures to be in the mid-50s to the lower 60s for those who will be venturing out for trick-or-treating.



THE TROPICS
As of the 10:00 am update, Tropical Storm Zeta was located about 100 miles northeast of Ashville, North Carolina, and was zipping along to the northeast at 48 MPH. Winds are at 50 MPH and pressure is at 990 MB. An even faster northeastward motion is expected later today, followed by a rapid east-northeastward motion tonight and Friday. On the forecast track, the center of Zeta will move across the Mid-Atlantic states this afternoon and emerge over the western Atlantic by tonight. Zeta is expected to become a non-tropical gale-force low later today. The low should become absorbed by a frontal system over the western Atlantic by Friday night.

We also have a large area of disturbed weather moving from the tropical Atlantic across the Lesser Antilles and into the eastern Caribbean Sea is associated with a pair of tropical waves. Upper-level winds are expected to become more conducive for development of this disturbance during the next couple of days, and a tropical depression could form over the weekend or early next week while the system moves westward across the central and western Caribbean Sea. If this becomes a tropical storm, its name would be Eta. Formation chance through 48 hours is low at 20%; however, formation chance through 5 days is medium at 60%.

 

Just bought my fridge. Amazon having lighting deal on alpicool fridges $60 bucks off plus they were already on sale $20

 

I really want a fridge but even with the tonneau cover brackets added I still don’t have enough room. In addition I would need Alu Cab tilting fridge slide which is expensive AF.

 

Im putting mine in the backseat probably. Im not sold on the idea of it being in my bed all the time.

 

I need room for everyone to spread out. Every time we use part of back seat for something the kids argue about space the entire time. Probably pick up another yeti that will fit this weekend. That way I’ll have it for the GAT.

 

I hear that. Its just me Anna and the pup so no issue with room at the moment lol.

 

Is it just my truck or are Tacoma’s hard to control on the highway in wind? I spent 6 hours driving today and felt every bit of it, I’m pretty physically exhausted from fighting it lol it was like this before I put all the armor and roof rack and RTT on, albeit a tad worse now

 

I noticed this today as well.

 

I don’t have any problems driving My tacoma on windy days. I think my son’s 4Runner handles worse on windy days. But, I also carry a lot of weight in the back seat and bed.
