Afternoon Edition For Tuesday September 22, 2009
===================================================================
ALABAMA ONE CALL
KNOW WHAT'S BELOW
CALL 811 BEFORE YOU DIG

Whether planning to do it yourself or hire a professional excavator,
smart digging means calling 811 before each job to find out where
it's safe to dig.

Every digging project requires a call to Alabama One Call--even
small projects like building a fence, planting shrubs and trees or
installing a mailbox.

One free easy call to 811 or 205-252-4444 at least 48 hours
prior to digging:

* Gets utility owned lines marked for free!
* Complies with Alabama Act 94-487.
* Helps prevent undesired consequences and possible service
disruptions to your neighborhood.

...More Showers And Storms...

OVERDOSED WITH RAIN: No way to escape the fact that the flash flood
damage in Alabama is going to amount to a huge chunk of change—well
into the a millions of dollars. This includes widespread flooding of
lowlands, crops, pastures and homes. A number of roads were completely
washed out and bridges will have to be built. We can only hope that
the recovery can get well underway without too much of additional rain
aggravating the problem.

However, we cannot guarantee that. This afternoon showers and
thunderstorms were increasing to the west of Alabama and moving
eastward. They had become numerous over Louisiana and South
Mississippi. Those were all moving toward the NE. Others will be
developing.
These showers and storms may not be quite as numerous as on previous
days, but they will be potent enough to dump some very heavy rain. The
storms yesterday dumped some very heavy amounts in parts of the state.

THE REST OF THE WEEK: We believe that by Thursday and Friday there
will be a drop off in the number of showers and thunderstorms. By
Saturday, however, a weak front will be asking to move into NW Alabama
with a low-pressure area along the front over South Louisiana. This
will increase the number of showers and thunderstorms across Alabama
for the second Saturday in a row. By early next week, especially by
Monday and Tuesday, slightly cooler and drier air will greatly reduce
the number of showers and storms and we will have low temperatures in
the mid 60s and maybe as low as the upper 50s by the middle of next
week. Highs will back off to the low and mid 80s.

ATLANTA: The Atlanta tragic flash flood story has been well covered
by the TV news channels and other news outlets. A neighbor has a
friend in Atlanta and he advised that in one place the flood waters
submerged a school all the way up to the roof and it will be a total
loss. Tragically there were several drownings in the Atlanta flood.
There was also one in NE Alabama. In Etowah County, a man drowned
after he slid into a pond off a muddy bank. The bank collapsed under
his feet and he fell in. Divers found him about 2 hours later.

RIGHT ON TIME: On the first day of autumn, a snow situation in
Colorado and a new winter storm will affect other parts of the Rockies
tonight and tomorrow producing as much as 12 inches of snow in the
North Colorado mountains. Yesterday 11 inches accumulated at Conifer
and 9 inches SW of Evergreen, Colorado. Low temperatures this morning
included 20 at Big Piney, Wyoming, 21 at Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska and 23
at Leadville, Colorado.

RAIN SCORECARD: Birmingham has received 51. 16 inches of rain so far
this year with an impressive surplus of 10.67 inches. Other parts of
the state are okay, but not as well off. In Anniston, the excess for
the year is 4.93 and Tuscaloosa 2.61.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Our house is as quiet as a mouse. Only
two of us live here now. Well, it should be three because Little Miss
Molly is as close to being a human as a little dog could be. She has
been storing up excess sleep that she lost during the big thunder-
boomers and the excitement of so many people being here. Last night
she slept all night in our big king-size bed. When I got up at 5:00,
she immediately transferred and seized my recliner and she has been
there for 7 hours. Life goes on.
