Southwest Georgia

Up into Alabama, now lower Alabama felt the brunt of this thing as a category two turning into a one, and w- we know that they have had a lot of issues with power outages in Alabama.

Southwest Georgia hit by it as well.

And don't forget about all of you who've impa- act- impacted by this.

You can call your various insurance agencies and more to get help.

And they've got, it looks like in terms of temperature-wise for October, November, December for this fall, a large part of the South looks like they've got kind of, um, not ex- not very cold according to NOAA from what they're saying.

And the precipitation outlook, if you can see that map there, that's what that's showing.

Only in southeast Georgia and North Florida does it look like it's s- dramatically above what you would expect.

In fact, I know they may have already reached their forecast for above and, uh, uh, greatly above the prediction here because ...

Coastal storm surge and tropical storm warnings have ended, but local flash flood and high wind warnings remain important.

Four to eight inches of rain are forecast across parts of southern Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and Southwest Georgia, with isolated totals as high as fifteen inches.

Flooding, landslides, and tornadoes remain possible across the southeast, including the Carolinas and Southern Appalachians.

Delay travel through flooded areas, never drive around barricades, and follow local officials.

Forecast surge reaches five to seven feet from Dauphin Island, Alabama, to Indian Pass, Florida, and four to six feet in Mobile Bay.

Rainfall of four to eight inches is expected across southern Alabama, the Florida Panhandle and Big Bend, and southwest Georgia, with localized totals to fifteen inches.

Landfall is expected inside the warning area tonight or early Saturday, and the tornado threat begins this evening along the coast.

Offshore energy operations are largely idled.

At Eglin, the installation commander issued a limited evacuation order covering service members, civilian employees, and dependents living in evacuation zones across Okaloosa, Walton, and Escambia counties.

And Hurlburt Field ordered a mandatory evacuation of privatized military family housing and its campground over projected wastewater and utility outages.

Georgia.

Governor Brian Kemp declared a statewide state of emergency Thursday covering all one hundred and fifty-nine counties, replacing a narrower order and freeing emergency managers to position resources ahead of the storm.

Check out these projected rainfall totals.

Top totals approaching 4 to 6 inches for South Alabama, Southwest Georgia, even the Florida Panhandle.

Some isolated areas could approach up to 7 to 8 inches of rain once all is said and done.

Much lighter totals anticipated for us.

This is where there's already hurricane warning out and even a tropical storm warning just south of Tallahassee and the tropical storm warning also includes the coast of Mississippi and southeast Louisiana.

It continues to move farther inland with the center of circulation near the Mississippi Alabama state line but still bringing a lot of moisture throughout the Tennessee and Ohio River Valley.

We tap into some of this moisture late Sunday into Monday but check out projected rainfall totals from Mississippi all the way through Georgia and even South Carolina.

Four to six inches of rain possible and some heavier amounts approaching seven to eight inches for portions of the Florida Panhandle, even throughout coastal areas of Alabama and Mississippi.

I'll start.

I grew up in South Georgia, actually, Albany, Georgia, Southwest Georgia, and, um, not much exciting down there to say about doing that.

[laughs]

But, uh, you know.

She's absolutely convinced that there's something that they're putting in there.

And then Steven Jones, yeah, says, "Our ground too." He's in Southwest Georgia.

So yeah, there is...

I got a feeling that there is something very, very diabolical going on with what the l- with the latest of what they're doing right now, because in ground...

The molded sole started to get added in the 90s and 2000s, primarily just for aesthetics, because double vamp, that construction method, even though it doesn't look incredibly different than a single vamp, is actually wildly more effective at water resistance and durability than a molded sole is.

But When I grew up and being in Southwest Georgia, Cali, the Zephyr 2, you know, the molded sole bottom Zephyr.

Good looking boot.

Everywhere.

Um, but I really became passionate about it, and it became a big part of what we do here at Auburn today.

So w- why, why is it, do you think, that Auburn, you know, University of Georgia, Mississippi State, and Texas, like, these places have these deer programs that are well known? Like, I mean, the...

I've read studies from all of them, and, and it seems like you guys down in the South are, are leading, uh, a lot of that.

Well, I mean, let me just, you know, say first is there, there, there's, there's brilliant scientists around this country, you know, whether, whether you're, you're, Pennsylvania-

You know, we were talking about Duane Diefenbach and, you know, folks in, in Wisconsin and the Dakotas and, and, and everywhere in between.

Um, but, but I think a big difference between the, the products that you see come out of the Southeast scientifically compared to a Midwest or, uh, you know, a Northwest or something like that is whitetail deer are a passion in the Southeast that i- is like nothing I experienced when I was growing up in Michigan or Maine.

I mean, a deer hunter in Maine is just as passionate as a deer hunter in Alabama or, or Michigan or Georgia or whatever it is, but they have this short little window where whitetail deer take their focus, you know? We had, we had two we- 16 days of gun season in Michigan.

You know, when I went to Oklahoma, we had nine days of gun season-
