Alabama thread!

I wasn’t sure how I was going to like driving one all the time but I’m getting used to it. I kinda like all the room. One of the first things I noticed the other day when I drove the taco after a month was how much louder it was than the diesel. Guess I’ve gotten used to it running at a lot lower rpm than the 4.0.

 

Operators gotta operate

 

@Dirk Diggler and @nagorb
What the hell was that shit show in the 3rd gen section?

ROLL TIDE

 

Lol! Dude was either off his rocker or trolling. Had to throw in a war eagle even if I don't really care about football.

 

Yeah. I never even mentioned football, but he sure threw that in on his repost. He is what I think of with a typical "Bammer", not an Alabama fan. His truck looked like shit too.

 

Happy birthday Jeff! @JBTacoma

Any one traveling South soon?

Today will feature sunshine in full supply with a high in the low to mid 60s. The average high for Birmingham on November 16 is 65. No change tomorrow; lots of sun with a high in the mid 60s. Then, a new surge of cool, dry air arrives tomorrow night.

Many places will see a freeze early Wednesday; we project lows between 25 and 35 degrees. Wednesday will be sunny with a high in the 57-62 degree range. And, dry weather continues Thursday and Friday with highs in the 60s. The weather will be nice and quiet this week.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: The weather will be a bit warmer over the weekend with highs in the low 70s. The sky will be mostly sunny Saturday, and partly sunny Sunday.

THANKSGIVING WEEK: A cold front could bring a few showers to Alabama Monday; then dry weather is expected Tuesday and Wednesday before another chance of showers Thanksgiving Day. Highs for the week will be mostly in the 60s… See the Weather Xtreme video for maps, graphics, and more details.



HURRICANE IOTA: Iota is packing sustained winds of 145 mph, and could be near category five strength with it moves into Central America tonight. Extreme winds and a life-threatening storm surge are expected along portions of the coast of northeastern Nicaragua and eastern Honduras, where a hurricane warning is in effect. Through Thursday, heavy rainfall from Iota will likely lead to life-threatening flash flooding and river flooding across portions of Central America. Flooding and mudslides in Honduras and Nicaragua could be exacerbated by Hurricane Etas recent effects there, resulting in significant to potentially catastrophic impacts.



The rest of the Atlantic basin is quiet.

ON THIS DATE IN 1989: Snow squalls were moving through North Alabama, the day following an F4 tornado that killed 21 people in Huntsville.

ON THIS DATE IN 2006: An early morning F3 tornado killed eight people, injured 20 others and left 100 people homeless in Riegelwood, North Carolina. This storm was the second deadliest tornado in the state in the past 50 years.

This one is going to pack a punch to Nicaragua



Hurricane Iota strengthened rapidly overnight and now has top winds of 125 mph and a central pressure of 925 millibars, making it a powerful category four hurricane.

Tropical storm force winds are likely already occurring on the northeastern coast of Nicaragua, where the center will make landfall late this evening.

Here is the opening paragraph of the 3 a.m. Tropical Cyclone Discussion:

Iota has explosively deepened 26 mb during the past 6 hours and has
rapidly intensified an incredible 35 kt during that same time. An
Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft and aircrew that flew the
arduous, 10-hour round-trip mission into Iota reported a maximum
700-mb flight-level wind speed of 134 kt and peak SFMR surface winds
of 121 kt, which supports the initial intensity of 125 kt, making
Iota a strong Category 4 hurricane. Furthermore, the pressure fell
an amazing 10 mb from 945 mb down to 935 mb in a little over an hour
between those two fixes. The crew also encountered intense lightning
and hail in the southwestern quadrant, where recent remote data
indicate that frequent lightning is still occurring. The aircrew
reported that the eye was around 15 n mi wide, and the latest
GOES-16 hi-resolution infrared satellite imagery confirms that the
eye diameter, and that the eye has cleared out with continued
warming eye temperatures and cooling surrounding cloud tops.

And here is the text of the 6 a.m. advisory:
