The outtro in the late night and early morning hours is always so sadly similar. &#8220;Authorities are waiting until the sun comes up, when daylight shows us what the true scale of the damage is &#8230; &#8221; I always hated those stories, standing out there listening to people wondering what their lives had become is no way to spend an overnight. And so it is in Jacksonville, Alabama, right now, where I know many of the folks covering the storms, and the people there are seeing a lot of damage, but fortunately the campus of hard-hit Jacksonville State was enjoying Spring Break. That fortuitous timing, and early warnings, probably helped saved lives and kept the injury count low. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No one told the weather it is now spring: So this is all about weather today, then, I guess.
