landfall at Mississippi/Alabama state line, I think....
category 4...but maybe a 5.....mass of deep red convection around eyewall is fluxing....first deep red.....then expands...then gets deep red..then expands...then deep red....
if it slows down...they usually die down a tad before landfall...
If it stays at 15 mph...we could have a Camille or Andrew...
I'm allowed to type this because I am a novice....and don't know any better...
He is not a novice, and does know better. Rick!

I have looked at three or four different sites and there is no way that is at 85.2W.

I'm not on my boat silly....only someone wanting to die would be on their boat...I'm in Mobile about 15 miles north........in a 1 1/2 story house...I tied the boat up and left about 6 hours ago....
would never risk my life...but starting to wonder now why I didn't leave Mobile....
the governor of Alabama ordered a mandatory evacuation of Mobile county....
400,000 people...woulda been impossible....anyone south of I-10 should leave..but most haven't...have a lot of friends down that area of Mobile....probably 10-15% of Mobilians have left...maybe even less than that.....

NHC map now shows Alabama landfall.

I am so upset about this. The models showed this at 8am this morning, I saw it myself, and the forecast track wasn't changed until now, and MS Gulf Coast did not evacuate as many people in time as could have been convinced to evacuate. When I talked to my brother, who works for the sheriff's dept, this afternoon he said nothing about a mandatory evac order so it sounds like this was not put in place until after the 11pm advisory that changed the landfall to MOB. All the emphasis was first on FL and then today on AL. Thank goodness the eye is predicted to land to the east, even if it is too close for comfort; in a CAT 3 storm surge, about 80% of Jackson Co is under water (storm surge maps, evac maps, and evac routes are all online on the state of MS web site). If the eye lands to the west it would be a horrible horrible situation for everyone in Jackson Co.

I'll be logging off in a bit...but be back on tomorrow till we lose power, and keep all of ya posted on the conditions...problem though...is that power is lost about 4-5 hours BEFORE the eye lands ashore....however, I have a TV from Walmart for 38 bucks....black and white...and can run on batteries...car cigarette lighter plug in..or regular power...
when we lose power, at least I can fire the TV up and hopefully catch the news channel on their emergency broadcast...and perhaps watch the eye...during ..power went out...and no one local knew just where the eye was gonna go in....and it jogged east and hit Pensacola....I kept wondering when the winds were gonna pick up...went to bed late...and it just never got bad....
hurricanes are freaky....
