Thanks for visiting!
Please read the rules below before contributing. If you have any questions or your post gets caught in the spam filter--please feel free to message the mods.
Political posts and discussions are allowed here, but /r/Alabama is non-partisan. Personal attacks, lies, smears, and ugliness is over the line; the post or comment may be removed, and if there's continuing transgressions, banning may result.
Consider instead /r/AlabamaPolitics, which is specifically set up for the hurl and burl of Alabama politics. Cross-posts to, or from, there are welcome.
To see power outage status updates, please check out Alabama Power Outage Information here.
Be respectful. Please refrain from personal attacks and posting anything racist (this includes images) or prejudicial (incest jokes are old and unfunny).
All submissions should be directly related to Alabama.
Blanket insults and attacks on Alabama and its citizens based on stereotypes and caricatures is not allowed. This does not preclude criticism--even fierce criticism--of the state, its people, and its policies; only that which is blatantly insulting and caricatures the state in an effort to gin up outrage and lulz.
Not Safe For Work content is not allowed on r/alabama. This includes graphic images or descriptions of violence, sexual content, and nudity. Exceptions include: images/videos of an Alabama disaster, like tornado footage; and newsworthy footage/images of violence that are marked NSFW and censored if possible.
Limit re-posting. Posting differing views of a topic is fine. If a submission is too similar to another existing thread, it may be removed. Those types of posts should be made as comments to the existing thread.
Direct solicitation is not allowed. This includes political solicitation (donate to my campaign!) and economic solicitation (come to my restaurant for 50% off!). Exceptions include information about a local event like a music festival, personal blogs that do not solicit products or services, and advertisement of petitions for Alabama-specific issues.
Editorializing linked post titles is not allowed. When linking to articles from outside reddit, try to keep post titles as close as possible to the original source. Adding detail or context is allowed, as long as it does not fundamental change the original title or adds opinion or commentary not intended by the author. Do not post links to articles as a text post without additional commentary or context.
No false or misleading information. Categorically false or misleading information is not allowed. This is not to limit discussion on things that may be uncertain, but rather to prevent the propagation of demonstrably untrue information from bad-faith actors.

I get a 502 Bad Gateway error message. Anyone else ?
Northern Lights
Im from south California orange county.
Where in Alabama that has no tornado and less getting hit by hurricanes?
It will also be nice a place with less crime, but Im looking for a semi-farm house so it should be far from the crowd.
Due to the intense solar weather, bucket list item ✅
I always imagined it would be a special trip up north, viewed from the tundra, bundled up like the kid from a Christmas Story.
Yet, here I am with clear skies and a light breeze, the cool grass under my feet in wonder. What a time to be alive.
Read something that said the lights weren’t supposed to reach us so I didn’t look out for them. Is this a one and done event or does it come in waves?
Don’t shoot me but I moved to Alabama from California.
In California you are mailed a bulletin ahead of elections to tell you what’s on the ballet. Then it’s easy to find the results afterwards.
In Alabama I didn’t even see any billboards saying it was time to vote. I didn’t receive anything telling me where to vote, and I had no idea about who was running or what the issues were. I couldn’t find anything afterwards about results.
(To find the polling place, I found and called my party’s number.)
Help - how does it work here?
Help settle an argument here at work.
