SECURE PROPERTY SHOULD BE COMPLETED AT THIS TIME AS TROPICAL STORM
FORCE WINDS ARE POISED TO MOVE ONSHORE ALONG THE COAST TONIGHT.
PEOPLE RESIDING IN FEMA TRAILERS NEED TO EVACUATE THEM AND SEEK
SAFER SHELTER. MOBILE COUNTY HAS ORDERED MANDATORY EVACUATIONS
GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF 1-10...INCLUDING AREAS SUCH AS FOWL
RIVER...CODEN...BAYOU LA BATRE AND DAUPHIN ISLAND. BALDWIN COUNTY
HAS ORDERED MANDATORY EVACUATIONS OF THE ENTIRE FORT MORGAN

RAIN BANDS MOVING IN OFF THE GULF ON THE EAST SIDE OF GUSTAV WILL
BRING THE POTENTIAL OF 4 TO 6 INCHES OF RAINFALL...WITH ISOLATED
HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. AREAS OF HEAVIER RAIN COULD RESULT IN AN
INCREASED POTENTIAL OF FLASH FLOODING MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
...TORNADOES...
THE RISK OF TORNADOES IN OUTER RAIN BANDS WILL INCREASE TONIGHT
INTO MONDAY. THE RAIN BANDS ON THE EAST SIDE OF TROPICAL CYCLONES
ARE MORE LIKELY TO CONTAIN TORNADOES.
