**STATE OF EMERGENCY ISSUED FOR ENTIRE STATE***
*STARTS AT 2 P.M. TODAY*

Governor Kay Ivey has issued a state of emergency for ALL 67 counties ahead of this weekend’s severe weather.
Governor Ivey also issued the following comment:

“The state of Alabama is at risk for potentially dangerous, severe weather throughout this weekend, so it is critical that everyone stays very aware of their local forecasts. Now is the time to make any preparations and have a plan, should the weather conditions become dangerous. Certainly, we are no stranger to Mother Nature’s wrath, but I encourage Alabamians to be vigilant beginning tonight. Stay weather aware and stay safe!” – Governor Kay Ivey

The state of emergency will go into effect today at 2:00 p.m. Central and will remain in effect for the duration of the state of emergency. Alabama law specifies that a state of emergency ordinarily will last 60 days; however, it may be terminated earlier by written proclamation.

We deleted the previous two posts because of the anger and hatred toward one another. A lot of the comments were what it was supposed to be – debate.

Unfortunately, a lot them were spewing hatred toward your fellow Brindlee Mountain and Arab neighbors – and a lot of them had absolutely nothing to do with the original story.

In a matter of hours, the two posts were turned into Joe Biden and Donald Trump love/hate affairs. We should be able to debate the topics without that.

Some came on to debate the actual topic.
Some came to blast me (I can take it).
Some came to blast President Trump.
Some came to blast former President Biden.
Some, admittedly, came "for the comments," including Mr. James, himself, which was entirely too funny. I am glad that, considering everything he and his family have been through, that he was able to maintain his sense of humor. That can't be easy.

Maybe someday we can get back to debate, rather than spewing hatred. But apparently that day is not today. And likely won't be tomorrow either.
