This hurricane business is getting serious here as the eye path is currently headed exactly for us here in Hale County. The governor of Alabama has declared a state of emergency. All the students on the main campus at Auburn have been evacuated and classes cancelled. But believe it or not, the football game on this weekend is still happening.

They wanted us to evacuate too, but where on earth would we go? Drive around the county chasing tornados for thrills in someone's jeep, I would think. It looks pretty scary on the satellite shots already.

Even this arrogant and powerful country is in panic over this force of nature. And the internet is in full swing with a dedicated blog.
