Wat?

I have dealt with a whole lot of hurricanes in my long lifetime.
I can tell you without a doubt, it's the aftermath of the downed trees, the downed power lines, the flooding, the spinoff tornado damage and the power outages, inland as well as coastal, that is a nightmare. Just ask the fine people of the Carolinas who are still recovering and were hundreds of miles away from the impact zone of the hurricane.
So, I can't imagine that the local authorities would plan to allow a game for Saturday night, not knowing if any of those things are going to be severe, then try to cancel the last minute after people were on their way in those conditions.
But, hey, I could be wrong. We will see if i'm overreacting...

You act like inland areas of Alabama have never dealt with hurricanes...lol. Ivan, Opal, Dennis, and even Zeta to a a lesser degree were all major hurricanes at landfall that ripped through the state and did tremendous tree damage well inland. Those didn't shut down infrastructure to a degree that a major event like the Alabama/Georgia game would have to be cancelled

Worst case scenario js this produces 50 to 60 mph gusts if the core goes directly through Tuscaloosa and knocks down several large tree limbs and knocks down a few trees in the Tuscaloosa area. Most of the model runs have the center of the storm exit the state into Tennessee by mid to late Saturday afternoon

If this happens, this will be the 3rd consecutive beach trip where I went somewhere for vacation only to have it get hit with a hurricane later.

Last year, I was in Jamaica. Hotel is still not open last I checked.

It's a masterpiece!

You and I must be on a similar track. I did the same thing in July 2005 in New Orleans I said- “one day a hurricane and the levees will not work and this whole city will fill with water.

Me and Mrs HK were at Sandals Royal Caribbean Jamaica last year as Melissa approached. Cut our trip short.

this one gas station in Mobile on Old Shell was asking $4.29 had all pumps available this evening

meanwhile I'm sure Sam's, Walmart, and Costco you had a real fricking freak out

You’ve got me. My guilt is assuaged now. Obviously your fault. :)

I understand the confidence man, I really do...

But all it takes is one time to change your mind real quick (Ask anybody along the coast that deals with full strength hurricanes)

As an official category three across lower Plaquemine Parish. Almost identical path to Camille. The coastline of Mississippi is so shallow it accentuates storm surge.
