AS HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES AND EVEN LIGHT VEHICLES....

...HUMAN SUFFERING INCREDIBLE BY MODERN STANDARDS...

At least NOAA isn't sugar coating it. :cool:

BTW - My apartment in the French Quarter has a gabled roof, and it is typical of French Quarter buildings -- eaten up with formosan termites. I wonder if it will be there next Wednesday. :rolleyes:

Re: Mississippi and Louisiana !!! Hold On !!!!

Just watched Jim Cantore on the Weather Channel.....there's no sugar-coating this one. I saw a lot of camera shots, I'm kind of disappointed at how many people I saw still there. The pressure's down to 902, winds continuing at 175+. I-10 is a parking lot.

Good luck everyone.

I hope everyone gets out on time. No way in hell I would ride this one out.
