⚡PET ANXIETY ALERT & STORM FORECAST⚡

This is the 6-hour lightning forecast from the Euro model for Wednesday, and it's a whopper. This isn’t just your average "one and done" line of storms—it has a prolonged noise window that’s going to impact a lot of us and our pets. (More on the timing/impacts at the link in the first comment)

👇 HERE IS THE CRITICAL WINDOW👇

A band of thunderstorms is forecast to stall over Central Alabama, bringing incredibly high lightning density (see that purple/max zone) that will persist for up to 6 hours - or maybe even longer.

When: 7 PM Wednesday to 1 AM Thursday in the Birmingham metro, Shelby County, Clanton, Tuscaloosa, Anniston, and Gadsden areas.

In addition, we’ll see periods of lightning and thunder late tonight for The Shoals, Decatur, and Huntsville, lasting through mid-morning Wednesday.

This is a long, persistent duration for a dog with storm anxiety.

Get the word out to as many neighbors, friends, and family with dogs as possible right now so they can prepare for this extended period of activity. They might not realize how long this will last.

Prepare for some extra pup care Wednesday night!

We're also watching for a risk of severe storms and flash flooding...that's covered in the link below!

We have some BIG NEWS!

The RICK BRAGG SIGN HaS BEEN ORDERED!

A collaboration between Jacksonville State University, the non-profit Great Things In Jacksonville and the city of Jacksonville is bringing a new historic marker to the Jacksonville Public Library to honor Pulitzer Prize-winning author Rick Bragg.

The project reflects ongoing commitment by all three partners to community engagement and highlights efforts to preserve Jacksonville’s literary and cultural heritage. Under the guidance of faculty member Wesley Bishop, students in Jax State’s Department of History and Foreign Languages researched and wrote the marker’s text. Their work documents Bragg’s impact as a significant figure in the community’s history.

“This project represents the best of what can happen when the university, a nonprofit and the city work together,” said Torsten Dryden, GTIJ president. “Students, faculty, GTIJ and the city all played major roles in shaping this marker. We are proud to help bring this collaborative teamwork to the community. Thank you to all those who donated to make this project possible."

Bragg has authored All Over But The Shoutin’, Ava’s Man, My Southern Journey, The Best Cook in the World, The Speckled Beauty: A Dog and His People and Somebody Told Me, The Prince of Frogtown, The Most They Ever Had, Jerry Lee Lewis: His Own Story and I’m a Soldier Too: The Jessica Lynch Story and other publications, including a column in Southern Living magazine.

The marker will be installed at the Jacksonville Public Library, and a public dedication ceremony is planned for Fall of 2026.

Thank you Mr. Bragg for your great Southern works!
