As predicted, the Flood Advisory's/Warnings are starting to pop up all over SE Alabama. My rain guage is reading 3.4" here in Luverne. Yep...warning here, a bigger warning area up in your neck of the woods...2.99" here.

It has nothing to do with the amount of devastation anywhere...you live on the coast, you take your chances with that.
My comment has to do with media people, like TWC, over-hyping these things like Chicken Little running around screaming that the sky is falling. When you're on TV, you're ratings-driven, and when you're ratings driven, you have to hype even the lesser stuff. The damage I see on TV right now is some flooding, and some wind damage commensurate with a cat 1 or 2 storm...trust me, what they're showing right now isn't anything close to cat 4 damage. A bunch of people in PC are in contact with people elsewhere, and are posting pics and videos to show that it wasn't as bad as the hype suggested. So, the media got the ratings from hyping this one up, just like they did when they hyped the wind damage from Harvey...on the one hand, maybe the hype is necessary to make people listen about the potential dangers, but on the other hand, eventually that doesn't work, either. Quote from 2 different people I've been in contact with in Panama City this morning, that don't know each other... "...we don't pay any attention to TWC anymore, they're always full of sh!t." All depends on where you're at...

I just flipped back on TWC and Stephanie is rambling, saying the same vapid crap, and telling me that Mex Beach or PSJ "is a disaster."

I'm sure Mexico Beach will look like Cat4 damage. We will probably be seeing the early reports within the next hour or so as the EMA folks can start assessing the area. What's left of it is completely under water Twitter Video - can't embedHope people got out of those houses it won't be good if they didnt Yup, that is CAT 4 Damage.

Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.

Let me reiterate, for those of you with challenged reading skills...I know there's a lot of damage down there, I know the storm was a bad one, and I wouldn't have been in contact with people I know down there if I wasn't concerned about them, my comment was strictly regarding the way the media hypes the storms up. They said, several times, that the wind speeds they were reporting were taken from 4500 feet. What people would seem to be more concerned with is what is the wind speed at ground level, or roof level, what is the storm surge going to be like, etc...you know, things that will have a direct effect on them and theirs. I will also say that they didn't overstate storm surge a bit, and that's where the bulk of the damage was caused.
