Today's riddle: Why do some birds fly south for the winter? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Isaias threats: Flooding, winds, tornadoes possible for much of East (weather.com) — Homes in Mountain Brook were hit directly by falling trees as Hurricane Isaias' remnants swept through Alabama, bringing damaging winds, flooding rains, and widespread power outages. The storm toppled trees onto residences in several communities, left roads blocked in Conecuh County, and produced heavy rain and tornadoes across the Southeast and up the East Coast.
• Central Alabama outages linger after storms, but Mountain Brook resident says generator eased anxiety (wsvn.com) — Power outages from this weekend's severe storms are still affecting central Alabama, but a Mountain Brook resident says a home generator has made riding out the blackout far less stressful. Crews, including thousands of workers from other states, continue working without a firm restoration timeline, while officials urge residents to avoid downed lines and report hazards immediately.
• Fan voting decides Week 8 Southlake Orthopaedics Central Alabama football Player of the Week (al.com) — Mountain Brook football fans can cheer on standout John Colvin in this week's Central Alabama Player of the Week fan vote, after Graham Smith already claimed the honor in Week 6.
