A husband and wife from McCracken County are in Alabama this morning, hoping to help out when Tropical Storm Issac makes landfall. The Paducah Sun reports volunteers Eddie and Patricia Jordan drove a Red Cross emergency response vehicle to Montgomery yesterday to await the storm and aid its anticipated victims. Forecasters say the tropical storm could strengthen to a hurricane and make landfall tomorrow or Wednesday.
