If you or your family is in the path of Hurricane Katrina, if you would like to, please "sign in" here so that we can keep track of our people as this storm progresses, especially after the storm has passed.

Do we have a bead on Buckhead?

[Howlin]

He's not down there.

[Spiff]

Here's the latest FReeper Map for Katrina. I've overlayed the latest forecasted storm paths as well as the live hi-res reflectivity radar (2000 EDT).

[Howlin]

Gosh, Freepers really ARE everywhere, aren't we?

I just love your graphics, Spiff.

[meema]

God bless you and your loved ones, Pelican.
People like you make the rest of us thankful that you are there to help.

May God bless and keep all who are in harm's way safe in His loving care. Our prayers are with you all.

Thank you..great graphic!

Still no power in my part of Covington. If it's still out by midnight then I assume power will be out for days.

[cgk]

Ping to #225.

Prayers up!

[Bogey78O]

Gonna try and take pics of the devastation once it comes.

[ladyinred]

I have lots of family in your area, so praying for the storm to miss you altogether. Stay safe!

I think Blam is right above the R in the word Scourge western shore Mobile bay.

[Peach]

Wow. Spiff. I'm speechless that you know how to do that. Thank you so much for posting that wonderful graphic!

[Spiff]

Thank you. It's easy with Google Earth and it is free.

If I had the exact address or GPS coordinates of various FReepers (they could FReepmail them to me for privacy) I could post their exact locations and when the storm hits we'll be able to zoom right in on their location to see if they're in the thick of it.

Thank YOU Howlin for getting everyone together here!

Praying for all FReepers in harms way!

[Spiff]

Here's a view with the Tropical Atlantic Enhanced InfraRed Satellite imagery overlayed over the Hi-Res Reflectivity Radar Imagery with FReepers in the area mapped out (2100 EDT).

I'm from Petal, Mississippi; but I'm in Oxford, Mississippi for my last year of law school. Just started back to school this last week. Petal will probably get hit bad and the family is still there.

[Spiff]

Oops. A few FReepers fell off the map. I'll fix that next time.

[hoosiermama]

Just got word from step daughter....She's out of New Orleans and is staying in Mississippi.
