HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - Governor Kay Ivey issued a State of Emergency for Alabama’s coastal and western counties ahead of Hurricane Ida’s anticipated landfall.
The state of emergency will go into effect on August 28 at 2 p.m. Colbert, Franklin, Lauderdale and Lawrence Counties are included in the State of Emergency.
This comes after the National Weather Service predicted a severe weather event for the state of Alabama with significant potential for strong winds, flooding and tornadoes.
Statement issued by Governor Ivey:
“As Hurricane Ida’s trek continues in the direction of Louisiana, we still expect the possibility of flooding and even spin-off tornadoes in portions of Alabama. With a storm like this, we always want to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst, which is why I have preemptively declared a state of emergency for our coastal and western counties. We will continue keeping an eye on the evolving system. I urge Alabamians and our visitors to stay weather aware.”
