MISSISSIPPI BRACES FOR ISAAC

As someone who lived through Hurricane Katrina, I can safely tell you that these land falling storms are no joke. Those of you who are on the coast, Biloxi, Gulport, Bay St Louis, etc... Ya'll need to pay VERY close attention to the weather. The latest computer models show that the Mississippi Gulf Coast is in the line of fire.

Central Mississippi, where I live is more than likely going to deal with Tropical Storm force winds, and extemely heavy rainfall. The other problem with land falling storms is the potential for spin off tornadoes. If you live on the coast and evacuation orders go into place, LISTEN to them and get the heck out of there. Katrina killed over 200 Mississippians. Most died from the storm surge, and most of those who died refused to evacutate.

We still have a few days to prepare. Gas up your vehicles, get batteries, water, dry foods, bread, flash lights, be prepared. Bring in anything in the front and back yards that can be picked up by the wind. Stay tuned to the weather! Computer models can shift, east or west in a jiffy. Stay safe!
