recommended evacuation and
opened shelters.
“We’ve battened down the
hatches pretty g^ood here,” said
Our ground is
already pretty satu
rated from the rain
we had this week,
so we'll have to
watch all the low
areas for flooding.”
— Mickey Robinson
Orange Beach, Ala., fire chief
Don (Thinery, a spokesperson
for Santa Rosa County, whiqh
had opened one shelter.
“Even if the storm does not
reach hurricane status, die heavy
rains that come with a tropical
storm are something to be wary
of,” said Orange Beach, Ala.,
Fire Chief Adickey Robinson.
“Our ground is already pretty
saturated from the rain we had
this week, so we’ll have to watch
all the low areas for flooding.”
Beachgoers on the Alabama
coast were warned to stay out of
the water because of the churn
ing surf and rip tides. Aided by a
northeasterly wind and a Rill
moon, Barry already had
churned up six- and eight-foot
waves along the state’s shoreline.
At 2 p.m. EDT, the center of
Barry was located about 140
miles south of Fort Walton
Beach.
The storm was moving to
ward the north at 6 mph and
forecasters expected a gradual
increase in forward speed. Trop
ical storm-force wind of more
than 40 mph extended outward
up to 115 miles from the center.
just one day earlier, the storm
had been headed toward
Louisiana.
“We’re feeling a lot less
stressful,” said Sharon Cowan,
whose husband is pastor of First
Baptist Church of Grand Isle,
La., on a barrier island that had
been in the storm’s path. “We
also feel a lot of concern for the
people in the path of the storm.”
Barry is the second named
storm of the 2001 Atlantic hur
ricane season.
In June, Tropical Storm Alli
son dumped 20 inches of rain in
Louisiana and 32 in Texas, much
of it as the storm sat for days off
the coast. What was left of the
storm then moved east and
north, causing floods as far
north as Pennsylvania.
