“They comforted me. The whole team was awesome. I'm glad God sent me some angels.” Rosa’s life changed forever when a fire erupted and destroyed her home. But amid the devastation and the confusion of what steps to take next, Red Cross volunteers were there by her side, providing emergency financial assistance and resources. With your help, the Red Cross supports people like Rosa and others during their time of need, whether it’s with disaster relief, lifesaving blood, or support for the military community. When you give today (Dec. 28), our generous partner @iHeartMedia will match your gift dollar for dollar, up to $175K until midnight ET: rdcrss.org/48iMD4X #GiveWithMeaning

Cooling stations will be set up in Tuscaloosa due to our area's expected dangerous heat temps. Those in need can escape the sun and rehydrate. When the cooling station closes, persons will be transported back to their previous location or another reasonable alternative.

🌀5am Update [09/25] - Tropical Storm #Ian is moving west northwest around 12mph across the western Caribbean & should emerge over the southeast Gulf of Mexico as a major hurricane on Tuesday. ⚠️DO NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN. ➡️Local Tropical Info: weather.gov/srh/tropical?off… (1/2)
A situation overview is provided alongside the official track forecast from the 5am National Hurricane Center update. Tropical Storm Ian currently over the western Caribbean is forecast to strengthen while turning to the northwest today. Ian turns northerly on Tuesday and continues to strengthen while emerging in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico. Ian is heading into a very favorable environment for it to rapidly intensify and it should be a major hurricane by Monday night or early Tuesday. There remains a large amount of uncertainty in the forecast for Tuesday afternoon and beyond, so further adjustments to the track are possible – it is too early to let your guard down.
