Alabama thread!

It seems the "cars and coffee" is always on the weekends I work. I've only been to one of those.

 

Having a coffee waiting for the physical therapist, you have anything planned for your time off?

 

I'm actually gonna go out to the college and see what I need to do to finish nursing school. I'm tired of this company, and this will give me the opputunity to go where I want and always have a job.

 

Sounds like a good plan.

 

Let me know if you want to grab lunch if your around downtown.

 

Good morning Barrie.

 

I just realized I have nothing keeping me in Auburn anymore.

Will do

Awesome trip!

From AlabamaWX

ANOTHER VERY WARM DAY AHEAD: Morning clouds will give way to a partly sunny afternoon, and we project temperatures in the 84-88 degree range again this afternoon. Not far from record levels, and well above average. Today’s average high for Birmingham is 73, and the record high for April 5 is 88 set in 1967 and 2010. A few isolated showers could pop up this afternoon, but most places will be dry.

A band of showers and storms will drift into Northwest Alabama tonight… SPC maintains a “slight risk” (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms for the northwest corner off the state around the Shoals, and a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) down to Guntersville, Warrior, and Aliceville.



The main threat will come from strong, gusty winds tonight across Northwest Alabama… the tornado threat is very low as the main dynamic support will be passing well to the north.

TOMORROW/FRIDAY: Occasional rain is likely both days as the front sags very slowly southward. Some thunder is possible, but no severe storms are expected. Highs drop into the 70s tomorrow for the northern half of the state, followed by upper 60s Friday. It will be warmer to the south, where highs will be close to 80 both days near the coast.

EASTER WEEKEND: Saturday looks like a cool, wet day with periods of rain along with a high in the 57-65 degree range for North/Central Alabama; the southern counties will be closer to 70. The sky will finally clear Saturday night, and Easter Sunday looks dry and pleasant with a high around 70 degrees along with ample sunshine.

NEXT WEEK: An upper ridge will build across Alabama and the Deep South, and at this point the entire week looks dry with a warming trend. Highs will be in the 70s Monday through Wednesday, followed by 80s Thursday and Friday. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1936: Approximately 454 people were killed in the second-deadliest tornado outbreak ever in U.S. More than 12 twisters struck Arkansas to South Carolina. An estimated F5 tornado cut a path 400 yards wide through the residential section of Tupelo, Mississippi. At least 216 people were killed, and 700 were injured. The tornado had a 15-mile long path and did $3 million in damage. One of the survivors in Tupelo was a baby of an economically strapped family who had an infant they’d recently named Elvis Aaron Presley. Gainesville, Georgia had at least 203 fatalities and 934 injuries from an estimated F4 tornado that occurred early the following morning.

In Alabama, a tornado family produced most of its damage to farms southeast of Elkmont. There, four people died as their small homes were leveled.

Good morning Mike.

 

morning fellas.

 

Morning y’all!

 

Shoot you could travel nurse and make BIG dollars. I knew a girl that became a nurse anesthetist and she was killing it. Still had time to travel.

 

There is a current TW member (not as active anymore) who does this exact thing.

I'm sure he'd be willing to converse about it, if anyone would be interested to know his experience(s), I am happy to connect.

That will probably be the plan if I finish

I work with a few nurses that have travelled. One of my best friends spent most of WuFlu doing it. She made a killing. The money isn't as important as the job security and the fact I can have a job anywhere. I do fine with what little money I have now

 

Yeah but more money helps you have more options.
