Thursday’s lunch hour was filled with heavy rains and lightning that suddenly left lights flickering all over.

Susan Carpenter, county emergency management agency director, said Thursday’s weather was just a “warm up” for today.

“(On Thursday) most those showers moved north of us — luckily,” she said. “However, (today) about 11 a.m. we’re going to see some that are much stronger than (on Thursday). Those should last up to mid-afternoon and on into the evening. We’re expecting a cold front to move in and kind push that weather out.

“Predictions show a nice Saturday with a few isolated showers, but Sunday looks wonderful for us,” she said.

The Andalusia Utilities Board reported a few power outages Thursday. However, those issues were quickly resolved and power restored “very quickly.”
