We'll get some storms here later today, but nothing bad (tornados are a possibility, though). I do have family in Alabama but they're not near the coast so they should be perfectly fine. Mostly worried for friends in the area and hoping the damage isn't too great. I've been keeping CNN on all night.
Looks like the hurricane has died down a bit at least. It did swing east to smack Mississippi, which I knew it would because my dad is on his way down there Weds. having sold his house in Ohio to relocate to his sister's place in Collins (about an hour northwest of Biloxi). Dad always seems to be peripherally involved in disasters, most recently the 2000 vote in Florida and the 2004 vote in Ohio, LOL.
My sister lives in Pensacola, FL, and they seem to have been mostly spared this time (relatively speaking.)
Her daughter (my niece) just started college last week in ... Mobile, AL! They brought her home before the evacuations started. Smart move on their part.
