Coming to a gulf near you! I remember someone discussing the possible good effects from a storm out in the gulf for our beaches. Can someone elaborate? Please let this storm go west...

Re: Complete HURRICANE KATRINA Information

Yes, I agree. Hopefully we can have some Good Luck :laughing1 and have it hit somewhere to the east of SoWal.

(Not to wish harm on anybody else)

PS This site is awesome, don't ya'll agree?

Re: Complete HURRICANE KATRINA Information

I live in Memphis, Tennessee and my husband and I are supposed to be at Inlet Beach September 3rd through the 10th. I have been following the weather channel report on Katrina and know they are showing a projected path dead on for the panhandle Monday, although I do not know how they can predict where exactly it will hit four days in advance. And they say that the storm is going to be stronger than the one that hit South Florida today. Would appreciate any post updates after landfall Monday from anyone living in the area if it does affect the panhandle as to how bad it was and how things look along the beaches. We are staying on Walton Magnolia Lane off of Walton Lakeshore Drive just outside of Bay County. Thanks.

Re: Hurricane Katrina

Log on Here or at www.wgtx.com you can also listen to the broadcast Live on the web. We will have all of the information you need, i.e., any damage reports, power outages, beach status, road closures; boil water notices, business and school closings, recovery efforts, ect. Since we are a FCC licensed Media Broadcast outlet we will be given all of the pertinate information directly to disemenate to the public; especially from FEMA and the EOC here in Walton, Okaloosa and Bay Counties. We operate as a mouthpiece for them in times like this and coordinate our efforts with them directly.

I will do my best to get with Kurt and see about also direct posting any and all information we get from the EOC or other Government Offices - FEMA, Florida Emergency Management, Gov. Office, ect. that we get to inform the public here as well. We will help you in anyway we can.

Let's just hope that this misses us and we all can just relax on this.

I may have to go back to school to follow all of the technical stuff on that sight. Much of their info appears to be coming from NOAA.gov, so why not go directly to the source?

Re: Hurricane Katrina

Wow...hopes it skips over y'all. If not, just do what Auburn fans do before a new season. Hold your breath. Expect for the worst...hope for the best. And as opposed to ESPN Game Day with Kirk Herbstriet and Lee Corso, you get the Weather Channel with Dr. Steve Lyons and Mike Bettes. And commercials or time outs are like "Local on the 8's".

Re: Hurricane Katrina

Live in Panama City and places west of us, all the way to Pensacola have just been beaten to death during the last year. I really can't believe what I am seeing. Another landfall by potentially Major Hurricane. Next year Texas its your turn, we need a break.

Re: Hurricane Katrina

All I can say is, UNBELIEVABLE 😱

I wake up this morning, go straight to the NHC site, then to wunderground. All the models are now in agreement in the storm making landfall right around SoWal.

Did we make a deal with the devil at some point? This area can't take another storm.

Re: Hurricane Katrina

Jeff Masters' Wunderblog says Cat. 3 or possibly 4 by Saturday. Panhandle is, he said, a hurricane magnet. Every computer model has it headed our way. :(
