It appears landfall prediction has moved eastward some.

1. You know...

I don't wish the folks in the Florida panhandle any harm, but better it hits there than New Orleans. There's just so much more potential for loss of life in New Orleans.

2. Looks like its going for Alabama/ Mississippi.

4. Could still change though

Probably everything between Tampa and Texas is fair game at this point.

[Endangered Specie]

5. It all depends on when it turns, and by how much

If it were to speed up, it may never make that turn and go right for the Big Easy

[Eloriel]

3. I agree

This track makes me feel a lot better. Hope Ivan takes the hint.

7. When Betsy hit New Orleans a few years ago

some people drowned in their attics, trying to flee rising water. The city is a disaster waiting to happen.

8. Thats a big one

9. This is a worse case scenario for Mobile, Al.

Because of a funnel shaped bay, the storm surge will be greatly amplified.

10. Its pretty bad anywhere it goes...

Dont want it to hit Florida, theyve already had 2.

You mentioned how it would be really bad for Alabama and Mobile.

If it hit Mississipi it would be too close to New Orleans, which is the last place it needs to go.


Its gonna be bad either way.

11. Shit!

It's coming right through my state and will be in my home town of Huntsville on Friday. Opal did this in 96 and Huntsville had tornadoes and trees down. I feel really bad for Dauphin Island and the Gulf Coast. It is so beautiful down there.

:-( :-( :-( :-(:-( :-(:-( :-(




See www.stampkeller.com for an example of how beautiful it is.

12. I was planning to go to Decatur this weekend for a BBQ competition

That is being cancelled unless this thing shifts fast.

[bamademo]

13. Decatur is near Moulton

That's where that asshole Phil Geddes fired his employee who had a Kerry sticker on her car.

[Renew Deal]

16. I noticed that.

But I might have tried to find the place. I would have left them a "Bush lied, Who Died" sticker. They probably don't see too many of those up there.

14. I feel for whoever gets it

Everyone I know in NOLA are headed West now. I can only hope that the storm weakens before it comes ashore, and doesn't stall out over anywhere.

15. My parents

have a condo in Destin. They had a lot of damage from Opal. I hope this one misses it.

17. The whole Miss./Ala. coast is gonna get slammed.

A lot of people in my firm here in Jackson have family on the coast. Or rather, family who are coming here to ride it out. We'll get some severe winds here once it comes inland.
