From NWS:
Now
At 1230 PM...National Weather Service Doppler radar indicates numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms developing over most of southwestern Alabama and also over the western Florida Panhandle near Belforest...the strongest thunderstorms were over southern Choctaw County and moving slowly north at 5 to 10 mph. Throughout the afternoon...scattered showers and thunderstorms will become more numerous across all of southwest Alabama...southeast Mississippi... and the western Florida Panhandle. These showers and thunderstorms will be capable of extremely heavy rainfall amounts of one to two inches per hour along with frequent cloud to ground lightning strikes. Atmospheric conditions are favorable for gusty winds in the stronger thunderstorms...which could exceed 35 to 40 mph...and cause damage to small trees and branches...persons with outdoor activities this afternoon should maintain a constant weather watch...and find immediate shelter should a thunderstorm approach. The heavy rainfall with these thunderstorms will create ponding on area roadways...motorists with travel plans throughout the afternoon hours should be prepared for sudden reduced visibilities in heavy rain. Localized flooding will be possible in poorly drained and expansive pavement areas. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite media outlet for further updates.

Don't worry about us,we've been through much worse,this is just rain.
Rip currents will be a big problem though,so vacationers should just stay inside their hotels or stay on the beach but keep out of the water,the waters could be dangerously rough during the next couple of days.

Isn't that the truth, you watch all these tourists will still get out in the water and when they drown the visitors and media will blame it on the local officials for not running up and down the beach waving a gun at them to make them get out. Most of them just IGNORE the red flags.

Same thing along the South Carolina coastline with many areas "RED-FLAGGED" .. and I couldn't agree more with those statements ...
