A team of weather professionals at The University of Alabama are anxiously awaiting Barry’s landfall. Dr. Laura Myers the director of the Center for Advanced Public Safety at the school, is part of a team that monitors these storms and sends feedback to first responders.

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
