Not sure if this is where to put this but...

This link is off the BBC - reports from many in the past, present and future path of Dennis, as close to real time as possible.
If a heads up is still needed for those in the path of Dennis waffling - these stories might be a wake up call. And to those of us not in the path - a reminder to be ready.

news from mobile:
governor urged everyone in mobile and baldwin counties to leave if they can. also, the head of alabama ema, bruce baughman, identified shelters will be available in montgomery and birmingham. our local ema director indicated that local shelters should be used as a last resort. this is so scary and crazy!

No nonsense feeder bands with squalls and moderate heavy rains. Winds picking up here.

Driving back from Walmart for batteries, water, and gas I saw some ominous-looking heavy equipment outer bands moving in.

Hard blowing rain now.

Light traffic and crowds. Steady traffic off-island...

The above statement is substantiated by NBC 15 in Mobile, who are reporting that over 500,000 people have been ordered to evacuate. :eek:

* Just heard from WKRG that everything is pretty much closing down in the Mobile area later today. If you have not made all your preparations, you need to do so ASAP.
