Yes, Dave, Pass Christian is where Camille came, and this one was nearly the same path, but much more widespread. This has been a tragic and amazing year. To put the activity in perspective, Camille, was in August or Sept., 3rd storm, Alicia in Houston was in August, the 1st named storm.

Just saw footage of a New Orleans and surrounding area fly-over. It's just sickening to see the flooded neighborhoods and structural damage. In reality, the "good" side of a hurricane is obviously a myth. The homes along the Mississippi gulf coast can not possibly be standing and hopefully, after having experienced Camille, all of those residents evacuated. Lets all hope that Deaner, having been through this before, is kicked back enjoying a scotch and soda at one of the better motels in Memphis. Surely, it'll be a while before he truly enjoys another.
Having been through many hurricanes, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to all who were in the path of merciless Katrina.

I will stick with tornados and ice storms. They are much, much more local than a hurricane. When we lost power for 5 days last Christmas, you could still drive two counties away and find a generator for sale. Folks hit by Katrina will be lucky to drive two blocks days from now...
Hoping everyone is as OK as possible.

All is well here in NW Alabama other than gas prices going from 259.9 up to 327.9 as of last night. Had a lot of tree damage mostly small limbs covering the property. Had to pick up about 15 pick up loads and take them to the burn pile. Had one neighbor that had a tree come down on his carport and back of his truck and customize it! We had about 12-14 hours of 35-45 mph winds with the worst gust I recorded was about 62 mph. Hope all is well with those to the SW of me. Decatur Alabama lost most of the power to the city but our Rural Power company did a fantastic job of keeping it on. Guess their tree trimming project over the past year did some good.

Bob,
Glad to hear you are O.K. Gas was 3.29 a gallon here yesterday here in northeastern Indiana. We didn't even get a rain from the remnents of Kathrina. Sending buckets with lids to Alabama Monday to be used for water and gas.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
