Opelika Downtown Business not taking extra precautions like Ivan. Several stores had taped windows last time around, but not this time. This is the view looking North on South 8th Street about 1:30PM Central.
Several homes on 3rd Ave on Opelika’s Northside had boarded some windows. Hopefully, they get the chairs off the porch before the winds come.
