SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
Hurricane Helene is currently moving toward the north at 12 mph
through the southern Gulf of Mexico. A turn toward the north northeast
with an increase in forward speed is expected later today through
Thursday, bringing the center of Helene across the eastern Gulf of
Mexico and to the Florida Big Bend coast by Thursday evening. After
landfall, Helene is expected to slow down and turn toward the northwest
over the southeastern United States Friday and Saturday.
An area of 40 to 50 mph wind gusts is expected to occur across East
Alabama Thursday evening through Friday morning, with the highest gusts
near the Georgia state line. With these wind speeds, expect downed
trees and power outages across eastern portions of Central Alabama.
Additionally, rainfall amounts of 4 to 7 inches are expected, across
much of eastern portions of Central Alabama, with locally higher
amounts to 10 inches. This will result in river and flash flooding,
some of which may be locally significant.

* FLOODING RAIN:
Protect against life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible
extensive impacts across eastern portions of Central Alabama.
Potential impacts include:
- Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and rescues.
- Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in
multiple places. Small streams, creeks, and ditches may become
dangerous rivers. Flood control systems and barriers may become
stressed.
- Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple
communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed
away. Streets and parking lots become rivers of moving water
with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become
dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some weakened or
washed out.
Protect against dangerous rainfall flooding having possible limited
to significant impacts across the Interstate 65 corridor.
* WIND:
Protect against dangerous wind having possible significant impacts
across eastern portion of Central Alabama. Potential impacts in this
area include:
- Some damage to roofing and siding materials, along with damage
to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A few buildings
experiencing window, door, and garage door failures. Mobile and
manufactured homes damaged, especially if unanchored. Unsecured
lightweight objects become dangerous projectiles.
- Several large trees snapped or uprooted. Several fences and
roadway signs blown over.
- Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban
or heavily wooded places.
- Scattered power and communications outages, but more prevalent
in areas with above ground lines.
Also, protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts
acrossthe Interstate 65 corridor.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
