Hurricane Katrina - I

Re: Hurricane Katrina

Deep breaths everyone...it is stressful and anxiety makes us all on edge. Try and keep your thoughts on those that live in these areas and hope they have the strength to secure things and get where they need to be. You cannot wish for this storm to "hit" one place or another. Nature does what it wants and we will have to adapt. Here's to our friends...God speed.

Re: Hurricane Katrina

Eglin AFB and Duke and Hurlburt Fields have gone to Hurricane condition four. I'm expecting to hear all the planes going out some time late tommorrow unless the track changes a lot.

I'm still racing Sandestin triathlon tommorrow morning. After that, we're not sure what we've going to do yet. Probably make sure all the clothes and dishes are washed.

Re: TS Katrina

Just so there's no confusion, the purple line has moved from going out in the Atlantic to hitting west of us. My vote is no longer with purple!

For anyone interested, this link is to a forum for weather professionals and enthusiasts. You can get a little more in depth information than the NHC provides most of the time. It can get a little hard to read because these folks get hyped up about and look forward to big storms.....they see it from a completely different perspective than we do.

Thanks for the link - great info!

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.

My company manages a property there - will post an update on the area as soon as we check things out. Or you can contact me personally.

UGHH!!!!!

We pulled that up at the office a few minutes ago. That doesn't look promising at all.

But, in reality it hasn't turned northward yet...

Exactly. I remember before Dennis when one person on the board was so stressed that she said things she didn't mean and later issued several apologies. Let's all be nice to each other and realize that some people might say things they don't mean out of stress and anxiety. Just take a deep breath and be understanding before you post something that might hurt or offend another.

The NHC track will change at 5pm. All the models have shifted west since 11am. My guess is the NHC will move to around the Mississippi area.

Sorry to have caused any ill will. Stay safe everyone.

Thanks for posting this link again. I know River Otter had it up yesterday somewhere else, but now I don't have to hunt!
