To be on the safe side, our family is making contingency plans for vacation. We have reservations
in Hatteras for 2wks. If the road washes out, we may need to head further south for our family beach trip.

before every snow storm we folks up north here-get treated to reporters standing in front of huge piles of salt as the trucks get loaded for the icy roads

weather-can't do anything about it but you sure can waste film.....

People were throwing things at him and telling him to "get the fuck out of town," as if he were bringing us bad luck! I didn't care because I don't like him, anyway. Biloxi had a hell of a lot of damage, but there were places that fared much worse. Too bad he wasn't in one of those places.

but not necessarily accurate news

One of them tried to ride out Katrina in a house a couple blocks from the bay. He ended up clinging to the wrecked bridge for 2 days before being rescued.
Everybody there thought Camille was as bad as a hurricane was ever going to be. Many buildings had marks on the wall, inside or out, of the water level during Camille... the locals would proudly show them off. Katrina was more than 12 feet higher. The town was pretty much levelled.

After Katrina, I frankly don't know what to expect from the future. That storm did things I didn't know a hurricane could do.

Thanks.

I hope everyone takes the best precautions available and stays safe.

which is a surprise
