We're here to provide a briefing on #HurricaneSally, to share what’s been done so far & to discuss what we’re currently doing to hopefully keep our citizens safe as this slow-moving storm makes landfall later tonight. #alwx #alpolitics @AlabamaEMA @NWS

@AlabamaEMA @NWS Yesterday, I talked w/ @RepByrne as well as the various mayors & county commission chairmen, & offered every assistance humanly possible. Luckily, our local partners are also experienced leaders in emergency management. We’ll be there standing shoulder-to-shoulder with them.

The @WhiteHouse & the Trump Administration have been great to our state. They’ve been in constant communication with my office, & we greatly appreciate their offer to assist where possible & for them keeping an eye on Alabama. @POTUS #alwx #alpolitics

My fellow Alabamians, #HurricaneSally is nothing to take for granted. We’re looking at record flooding, perhaps breaking historic levels, & with rising water comes a greater risk for loss of life and loss of property. #alpolitics #alwx

#HurricaneSally has the potential to inflict major damage along our Gulf Coast & even further inland. I urge you in the strongest way possible to evacuate if conditions permit & seek shelter elsewhere as quickly as possible TODAY as this storm makes landfall sometime tonight.

The current projections of this storm have most of our state in the path as it moves on thru & most counties of Alabama can potentially see some impact later today & certainly Wednesday. #alwx #alpolitics @AlabamaEMA @NWS

I remind you to stay tuned in to your local weather source, have a weather radio handy in case you lose power, & please heed the advice or your local leaders. They know the unique needs of your community. #alwx #alpolitics @AlabamaEMA @NWS

We are constantly evaluating #HurricaneSally & will provide you critical updates when we have them. Thank you to our friends in the media, especially our meteorologists, for helping us get the message out. #alwx #alpolitics @AlabamaEMA @NWS
