Two storms: One tropical, one regarding data centers

We have a tropical storm in the Gulf. It was updated from a tropical depression with the National Hurricane Center's 4 a.m. update.

Plus, the rush to build data centers in rural Alabama is on while a couple of red-tape windows are open. So it's hurry, hurry, hurry for those not wanting to miss out and dread, fear and anxiety for those not wanting to share a property line with the facilities.

Also, we have the passing of former University of Alabama football coach Dennis Franchione.
