In all seriousness just keep an eye on weather alerts. Possible tornados and flash flooding in that area. I’d get get off the county roads by 6pm. Lots of oak trees in the area and there will be debris all over. Plus lots of creeks that run all over Baldwin County. Doesn’t take much rain for roads to flood.
Plan to hunker down on a bluff in Fairhope with a good bottle of rum and watch Gordon rage Mobile Bay.

I had to turn of off he Weather Channel. It has my girlfriend freaking out and her family is making it worse. She is from San Diego so I have some compassion. THe house I’m in survived Ivan. I’ve been through Andrew, Rita and Gustav. Last year Nate was a Cat 1 going through here.

Yeah, don't mainline the Weather Channel today. The gulf shores locals know what's up, and I'm sure they're not running around freaked out. Three would be evac orders if it was expected to be truly dangerous.

Getting some storms wrapped around the western flank and maybe an "eye" type feature showing up at the end.
I would assume storms wrapping around the west side would mean higher rain potential for SELA, assuming it holds together?

Looks like an eyewall replacement cycle, amirite?

I used to always wish for tornados because of the awe inspiring power of the storms.
Until I lived through the outbreak of April 2011 when I lived over near Starkville.
Nope

This is the truth. My mom was contemplating not even fooling with taking the boat off the lift. Not sure if she ended up taking it out or not

You’re what can be referred to as a “seasoned veteran”

time to shut this down and start talking about this one
The overall pattern is favorable for a Gulf system in that timeframe. It would probably get buried in the BOC but anything is possible. This would be before 92L but I'm not seeing much of a Gulf threat from 92L at this point.

Anyone know the water temps off the gulf coast at the moment?
The eye closing on radar kinda sucks.

West jog but seriously, conditions seem to be improving and the 12z GFS, HWRF, & HMON all show strengthening up until landfall now.

Anyone see Invest 92L? Looking like it’s on track to get in the gulf.

This is always my advice to people regarding staying/going:
If you’re renting a hotel room/house/condo and it’s a Cat 2 or less, you're fine staying and watching it unfold - assuming you don’t have small children or elderly.
The force of a hurricane is something to behold and is fascinating as long as it’s not your life or possessions on the line. The eerie feeling in the eye is something that can’t be replicated elsewhere, anybody interested in meteorology, science, or the weather in general should experience it once. If you’re not in a surge prone area your biggest worry is protecting your vehicle and sand covering the roads in the aftermath.
Usually if you take it upon yourself to clean up around the house or condo afterwards - even just simply removing any limbs/brush from the property - the owner(s) will cut you a deal on another week later on, refund some of your money, or hook you up some other way. I’ve even heard cases of the guest being given a free week the next year for spending ONE day picking up around the house they rented in the aftermath of Ivan and Katrina.

I can’t be the only that wonders if you by ‘improving’ you mean that the storm will weaken which is what I’m pulling for OR if it will get stronger.

Hmmmm yall Remember Cindy sneaky arse hitting Nola at CAT 1 (2005)?
