~Up Early Thanks To The Alert~

Valdosta, Georgia
October 7, 2016 6:59am CST
I was not planning on being up early this morning. It just happened that way because the hurricane alerts went off. First it was my phone that started going off. I shut it off and laid back down. Then my husband's alert went off. Shut that one off and laid down. My daughter's phone had the hurricane alert and I gave up! Lol. So I have been up for about an hour now. I'm watching the news to stay updated. Of course I looked outside because curiosity got the best of me... It's getting real bad out there now! The wind is picking up like crazy. I'm only worried because all the trees in our yard. Just praying we will be safe and get through this without any trees landing on our home!

Please keep us informed, and be safe. The weather channel seems to be confusing me right now.

@cindiowens Yes I will. Why is it confusing you? I have only been able to watch the local station because we don't have cable.

@cindiowens Oh that's weird. Here their saying it's a cat 3. The wind is already really strong and were not getting the hurricane until 2pm.
