    Mobile County schools are closed!
    I came in early to beat the storm.

    At 7:31am here at 5 Rivers and it is pitch black outside.

    I'll check in after the squall line blows through if the building is still standing.

    8:40 am Midtown/Downtown Mobile just had a bout of HEAVY rain mixed with pea-sized hail. Winds 'ordinary' so far.
    maybe 2" of rain in an hour!

    Round 2 is on the way by 9am...
