I don't wish harm on anyone, but I sure hope the storm moves west or dies out all together. The MS coast is still rebuilding from Katrina, another blow would be devastating to the moral.

We will be on the east side of the storm, which is generall the worse side.
I hate to wish people harm as well, but I surely want it to keep moving the opposite way. I just think of all the friends I have who have rebuilt. And now they are in harms way again. |

Is the storm predicted to go near Pass Christian, MS ? A girl that works for my agency lives there and she lost everything in Katrina. Her house insurance gave her pratically nothing back. She has been living in a rented furnished apt.
A girl from our New Jersey office was supposed to visit her this weekend, but I assumed that was postphoned.

The networks all seem to be only focusing on New Orleans. As large as the storm is, I think there will be plenty of damage on the Mississippi Coast. I hope people don't get complacent about it because of all the focus being on New Orleans. I haven't seen a single news report from Biloxi or Gulfport.

aunt bee, where do you get your news and weather on tv from? Local I mean?
Have you seen any rain bands yet? I see Jackson has some rotating storms already...seems like things could get dicy for the middle and west side of the state.

I get all of the Jackson Channels. I'm watching Fox News this morning because they have a guy in Waveland and he has been on a lot this morning. I'm north of Jackson, so I don't think we'll get much except maybe a little rain. It's just very cloudy here now. |

My prayers are with ya'all. I'm praying it spares you there. Some of the Evacuee's from NOLA made it here to a Church shelter. Some won't be returning and one already obtained a job in nursing.
