There are four ocean storms alive and well today. Hurricane Isaias made landfall over Destin, Florida as a Category 2, zoomed close-by Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama later this morning, will not influence the football game with Georgia to be held earlier this evening, and essentially dissipated soon thereafter. The eye of Isaias passed over Destin, Florida, 23 miles of Navarre Beach as was first predicted. Killed four and took out power for hundreds of thousands. Spinoff floods will affect people from Georgia, through North Carolina and into the Eastern seaboard. In the East Pacific Ocean, Hurricane Simon is now a Category 4 at 150 MPH, and will tomorrow breeze pass Puerto Vallarta. Fortunately, there is a peninsula that will protect the city, dampening the hurricane down to a Category 1. There are two ocean storms in the East Pacific Ocean in the vicinity of Japan.

But who knows for sure what will happen. As tailgating can begin at noon on the Alabama campus, there will almost certainly be chaos that afternoon. My recommendation is that they postpone the game until Sunday. More seriously, landfall will be near Navarre, Florida. Located 25 miles east of Pensacola and 15 miles west of Fort Walton Beach. Once a town of 1500 in 1970, the population must be around 45,000 today, and is the third-largest community in the Florida Panhandle.
