I've heard you're due for an Earthquake at any time.
Thanks as well, for the info, I feel much more relieved if it's headed for the Yukatan. (I thought someone had said it may turn Northward)

Hello everyone-just got back from work! I didn't see any mobs here, but we'll see what happens. I think Mississippi isn't a likely target right now-but who knows how it will end up.
I'd like to extend an offer to anyone who needs to evacuate. We live on the MS coast, some of you guys are close (in evacuation drive time,lol) so if you need a place, let me know!!

Local news tonight said that Hurricane Dean hitting us is slight, but Haley Barbour is really kicking into gear, makes me feel better.I am starting to have flashbacks of Katrina, we didn't take it seriously until the last minute.

I'm always looking for a reason to get away Mt, and to be honest, I've never been to Mississippi. I'll keep your offer in mind, just in case. LOL
I have an old friend in Diamondhead, MS, if you are near there.

Ooh, that's scary to be on the coast.
I lived in Jackson, Ms., years and years ago. Lovely town. and great catfish.
I also enjoyed the Round Tables at Mendenhall. I worked at the Medical Center there, back when James Hardy was the head of the Surgery Dept.
Unfortunately, there was a terrible flood after we left, in '76; and my best friend's house was entirely flooded. It was horrible.

Category Four Hurricane:
Winds 131-155 mph (114-135 kt or 210-249 km/hr). Storm surge generally 13-18 ft above normal. More extensive curtainwall failures with some complete roof structure failures on small residences. Shrubs, trees, and all signs are blown down. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Extensive damage to doors and windows. Low-lying escape routes may be cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the center of the hurricane. Major damage to lower floors of structures near the shore. Terrain lower than 10 ft above sea level may be flooded requiring massive evacuation of residential areas as far inland as 6 miles (10 km). Hurricane Charley of 2004 was a Category Four hurricane made landfall in Charlotte County, Florida with winds of 150 mph. Hurricane Dennis (pdf) of 2005 struck the island of Cuba as a Category Four hurricane.
Category Five Hurricane:
Winds greater than 155 mph (135 kt or 249 km/hr). Storm surge generally greater than 18 ft above normal. Complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings. Some complete building failures with small utility buildings blown over or away. All shrubs, trees, and signs blown down. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Severe and extensive window and door damage. Low-lying escape routes are cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the center of the hurricane. Major damage to lower floors of all structures located less than 15 ft above sea level and within 500 yards of the shoreline. Massive evacuation of residential areas on low ground within 5-10 miles (8-16 km) of the shoreline may be required. Only 3 Category Five Hurricanes have made landfall in the United States since records began: The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, Hurricane Camille (1969), and Hurricane Andrew in August, 1992. The 1935 Labor Day Hurricane struck the Florida Keys with a minimum pressure of 892 mb--the lowest pressure ever observed in the United States. Hurricane Camille struck the Mississippi Gulf Coast causing a 25-foot storm surge, which inundated Pass Christian. Hurricane Andrew of 1992 made landfall over southern Miami-Dade County, Florida causing 26.5 billion dollars in losses--the costliest hurricane on record. In addition, Hurricane Wilma (pdf) of 2005 was a Category Five hurricane at peak intensity and is the strongest Atlantic tropical cyclone on record with a minimum pressure of 882 mb.

Yeah, Peter, doesn't look right now that it is going to hit us, but one never knows with these things, they have a mind of their own, especially when they get in the Gulf!

Well come on then-but be forewarned-the beaches aren't pretty, and the water-yuck! Diamondhead is about 40 mins west of us, it was hit really hard too with Katrina, is your friend still there?
We live about 8 miles north of the coast, so it's not quite as bad. Katrina was awful-but most of the damage thhis far up was thanks to the tornadoes she spawned!

A cat 4 will destroy jamaca.
Many people living there live in huts and I don't think they have the buildings or the organization that Cuba has to evacuate people. The loss of life we are going to see is going to be devastating.

Well the projected path keeps moving lower and lower so I am hoping we are out of the woods but we all know that it could change course at any time so I am not letting my guard down.
