Hurricane Zeta coming ashore quickly tonight near NOLA and going to move quickly curving up through MS and into AL tonight between Montgomery and Birmingham. I will be on the "back side" of the rotation as it blows past.
Watching the hyperbolic storm coverage from Weather Channel is another "ho-hum". It's a very NARROW storm cone. Bad directly in line of the eye but surge/winds drop off significantly if perpendicular every 10-20 miles (especially on the back side).
Seriously, some storms are dangerous and should be taken seriously. Others move on and the rresidents shake it off - really - if it's the 7th hurricane in the northern gulf of mexico of the season - what is left to blow down that hasn't blown down already?
And it's "ONLY" a level 2 hurricane?
Weather is the ratings bonanza for LOCAL channels and Weather Channel (I hope their coverage pushes down condo prices in Gulf Shores and I can buy a cheap beach unit some day).
Jim Cantore and Stephanie Abrahms and the other Weather Channel personalities have a job to do but I have to get some <beauty> sleep tonight.
Mrs. Bama Ed demands that I be beautiful every morning!
Headed to Gulf State Park next week (expecting it to still be there).
