First rainbands have moved through

The first rainbands from Dennis have moved through the area. It started with heavy to torential rain as I left church. Right now we just have some light rain, and the wind is picking up.

The NWS is expecting Dennis to make landfall sometime this afternoon or this evening, and thinks the rain from it will remain in the area for at least 6 days. Apparently, Dennis is running headlong into a stationary front that is slowing it down.

I'm still worried. We're not going to take a massive hit here in east Alabama like we did with Opal. But the fact that the bad weather may park here for a while is of geat concern to me. There is no internet were I'll be taking shelter, so I'll try to blog via cellphone.

Everyone be careful out there.
