“Waveland was a sad place after Katrina”
Waveland is still a sad place as of last year no rebuilding to be seen traveling on Hwy 90
Well, that all sounds cautiously encouraging.
Not out of the woods, but not as deep in ‘em ?
This storm is full of surprises.
We’ll see. I expect the surge, flooding and rain will be the story.
Overnight prayers for all in harm’s way, including all the brave souls tracking these things from the air.
G’night all.
I hope I’m wrong too. But, the last time they opened the dam earlier this summer, so much debris washed in the rivers and bay. It became too dangerous and difficult for boats to keep from hitting stuff in the water. . That issue was in addition to the crabbers who lost many of their pots.
So, you may still get crab cakes, but the prices may go up. I haven’t had any crabs yet this season.
She dropped to a Cat 2 at the last check about thirty minutes ago.

Yep (surprises) - big blowup in SW quadrant, now, almost as if energy got mashed back toward the center. It remains to be seen if it’ll amount to much overall, given the overall size of the storm.
Thanks for the link, Holly.
Insomnia night here, so came to see what the FR night owls are up to.
I’d imagine that one of the dangers now could be that people will hear of the category downgrade and poopoo the heavy rain/surge conditions that NHC is still warning of.
I’d also imagine that traffic conditions down that way are approaching nightmare status, if not already there.
You’re welcome!
You may be right. I hope everyone concerned will stay on track with the plans to seek safety; especially away from water - whether that’s the ocean, rivers, etc.
I can’t even imagine the traffic out that way. Then with gas shortages, hopefully folks won’t run out of gas on the road.

Hundred miles from home, family in the car, surrounded by thousands of strangers driving by gawking, it's nighttime, 10 miles from the nearest exit . . .

Two or more....AMEN
Another report need to pay attention to:
Circulating reports claiming the “weakening” of Florence is a big deal are wrong. The wind field remains HUGE & maximum 9-13’ surge is still likely....This is nearly irrelevant because hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds now extend outward up to 195 miles....It will regenerate before landfall to a cat 4 or Cat 5 hurricane quickly
another report comes out in a couple of minutes so let’s pray for good news
On/Off Hurricane List Mash Here--> 
0500 NHC discussion describes Florence eyewall is open. This was noted via microwave images and Hurricane Hunter obs.
A developing mid-level ridge over the north-central United States should cause the forward speed of the hurricane to decrease today. As the steering currents collapse tonight and Friday, Florence is forecast to drift westward or west-southwestward and continue that slow motion into the weekend.
