Alabama State Of Emergency

#1 Postby ursa minor » Mon Sep 13, 2004 10:19 pm

Gov. Riley has issued a state of emergency for Alabama! He will be in Baldwin and Mobile County tomorrow to meet with local Mayors and EMA officials.
Baldwin County EMA is calling for a cat. 3/4 at landfall right up Mobile Bay.
I know this info from my job.
Also finally found a shippment of plywood at Home Depot on Montlimar, if you havent gotten it good luck. Also hard to find propane tanks and no sand bags anywhere.

I've got family in Bay Minette, and there will be no evacuation of Bay Minette (too far inland). Fairhope I don't know about. Probably will evacuate low-lying areas areas around the bay. I've got a friend in Foley that tells me that he's been told that there will probably be a mandatory evacuation of everyone south of Highway 98 in Baldwin County.

I have no clue as to what is South of Hwy 98 as I have only been there once and got lost several times. I do know his parents live near the water in Fairhope and they did not fair well with the last hurricane in the area. Hopefully they will leave this time.

Highway 98 is roughly 10 miles north of the Gulf.
