I noticed on the way to the airport this morning that the flags are at half-mast. Usually a quick google turns that answer up for me, but today....NADA?

Is it just in AL?

Anyone know?

Thanks

I can't find anything and even checked for Alabama specifically. There was a half staff notification for last Sunday - kind of a generic "those no longer with us" for some states.

Thanks, Drac.

I'm mystified. At first I wondered if someone was confused, but every flag I saw on the way to and fro was lowered. Hmmmmm......

I found this, but says tomorrow.

Alabama flags at half staff

Found this:

December 2, 2019 - ALABAMA ONLY - In honor of Lowndes County Sheriff "Big John" Williams

but today is Dec. 1.

Sorry sparkle, was searching when you posted.

Thanks, Sparkle, and Jboliver, that did not pop for me. I'll bet that is it. He was a popular sheriff, and it was a totally senseless killing.

Butterflybabe, I bet they just did it a day early. Thanks

I thought it was because Bama lost to Auburn.

Good guess, but nope. Half the state was celebrating

Including you right? Aren't you and soot Tiger fans?

Yeppers, including us. We root for AU and AL, but when AU plays AL, then we root for AU. I was quite surprised given the disparity in ranking.

That game is tough every year no matter what the records are.

I was glad we were able to squeak it out. Hate when it's a blow out.
