飓风Isaias逼近，阿拉巴马州下令墨西哥湾沿岸强制疏散
据州长办公室与USA Today报道，州长凯·艾维10月8日（周四）发表视频讲话，敦促阿拉巴马州居民为飓风Isaias做好准备；她于周三宣布的40县紧急状态继续有效。
艾维下令强制疏散鲍德温县墨西哥湾内航道以南的全部游客和非常住居民——包括 Gulf Shores 和 Orange Beach——以及莫比尔县的道芬岛，要求“立即疏散”。鲍德温、科菲、卡温顿、戴尔、埃斯坎比亚、日内瓦、亨利、休斯顿和莫比尔九个县的州府办公室于10月9日中午起关闭。
州长警告，随着风暴逼近墨西哥湾沿岸，将出现强风、暴雨和龙卷风。“抱最好的希望，做最坏的准备，”艾维说。
Isaias预计10月9日深夜至10月10日在莫比尔湾至彭萨科拉一线登陆，为一级飓风，风速85英里/小时；预计从密西西比河口至苏万尼河一带风暴潮达5至7英尺。
Alabama Orders Mandatory Evacuations for Gulf Coast Ahead of Hurricane Isaias
Gov. Kay Ivey on Thursday delivered a video address urging Alabamians to prepare for Hurricane Isaias, as 40 counties remained under a state of emergency declared Wednesday, her office and USA Today reported.
Ivey ordered mandatory evacuations for all tourists and non-residents south of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in Baldwin County — including Gulf Shores and Orange Beach — and for Dauphin Island in Mobile County, telling residents to "evacuate immediately." State offices in nine counties — Baldwin, Coffee, Covington, Dale, Escambia, Geneva, Henry, Houston and Mobile — closed at noon on October 9.
The governor warned of damaging winds, heavy rain and tornadoes as the storm approached the Gulf Coast. "Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst," Ivey said.
Isaias was expected to make landfall late October 9 into October 10 along the Mobile Bay to Pensacola line as a Category 1 hurricane with 85 mph winds, with storm surge of 5 to 7 feet forecast from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Suwannee River.
