Blue Skies Smiling

Blues skies are FINALLY smiling!

After a week of rain, day after day after day, 6.5 inches here since last Friday,

the wet weather systems moved out a few hours ago,

and right now we have blue sky!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Posting to Skywatch Friday

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
