Looks like Fort Walton, FL will get the worst of it.
@mike808 And everyone here in Pensacola gives a huge sigh of relief…
It’s zeroing in on just east of Destin, looks like. Moved west a bit, but not a lot.
It’s kind of late to be telling Alberto this - should’a posted it when they were selling activity trackers.
This has brought some of the nastiest rain I’ve seen in a long time. We weren’t even in the worst of the bands. I’m hoping the city finishes the new storm water retention by the time something else rolls around.
@RiotDemon hey my town got 10.5 inches yesterday
@CaptAmehrican You still have a private lake in your basement? Did a lot of stuff get wrecked?
@CaptAmehrican I can’t even imagine. It says we got somewhere between three and four inches. The flooding is ridiculous.
@Kidsandliz no private lake. Sump pump caught up. But wet and lots ruined.
@CaptAmehrican That is a shame about the stuff ruined.
@CaptAmehrican @RiotDemon Oh man.
NWS says we got less than a half inch of rain; I say my yard got two inches. Tstorms this PM, rip current warnings, and ‘TORNADOES: A couple of brief tornadoes are possible today from northern Florida into central and southern Georgia, southern South Carolina, and southeastern Alabama’. We’re in Jacksonville, and Florida isn’t all that wide.
Are we excited that the major hurricane season in the Atlantic and the Gulf now seems to be 8-11 months long each year?
Hoo boy!
/giphy hurricane eye
In Alabama, kinda south central.
Wind is picking up.
Been mostly cloudy for days.
If it comes like this, I am in the path.
I live under really tall trees, little above where the 1:00am is.
@Calabama As of update 15A, you’re still directly in the path. Stay safe and dry. We’ve had a few outer bands move through, with lots of thunder, but very little wind.
@OldCatLady Thank you. A band went through, pelting the city ten miles away, with rain and wind. I am in the top little part of my county. We were just on the edge, wind, little rain, no thunder.
Many storms go through, we seem to be in a little pocket, a lot.
Updates are welcome!
Pensacola: Hardly any rain and no wind. Only downside was mostly cloudy all day. Oh, and the beaches were closed.
What really pisses me off… I keep driving by these streets that are flooded and the fucking sprinklers are watering the grass that’s under water. How can these cities or commercial buildings not pay the less than $20 for a rain sensor that attaches to the sprinkler system. For fucks sake.
Extreme amounts of rain, thunder and lightning, yesterday, last night and now, tomorrow too.
We needed it, it can stop now.
@Calabama Hope the lightning stops soon. Can’t you find the control for the rain volume?
@OldCatLady Haha! All over today, sunny, muggy.
Summer is here!
Usually not THIS bad.
Could use a humidity control button, now.
I need a dollar every time says, it wouldn’t be so hot, if it weren’t for the humidity.
Wanna yell, what do you expect, you live in the Deep South?
tuesday we got pummeled up here in N. Alabama. Sideways trees and lots of rain. I hadn’t watched news or weather reports so didn’t even know about Alberto until my trees were blowing over and I looked at a weather report. ugh. I’ve had enough rain for a while.
@lseeber We have ponds where there were none. Alabama River is threatening to flood.
The town floods easily. Not where I live.
@Calabama Yeah… we’ve had an awful lot of rain over the past few months. I’m on high ground personally but… there is a hill behind the house and the runoff has messed with my basement wall. Ugh. Found that my birdseed that I put out for the birds and keep in a waterproof patio box had mold growing all over it… looked like snow.
The TN River is high up this way.
Seems it’s either rain or 90deg with 80% humidity.
