Reports of massive flooding in Mississippi and Alabama.

Not many freeper reports coming in from those areas? Seems like everyone is talking about New Orleans. These other areas are getting hit very hard.

The Gov of MS was on Fox last night. He said as soon as they compared Katrina to Camille they knew it was serious. He seemed to be pretty on the ball about what they were doing for their people. I hope they were, as they are bearing the brunt of it.

This is the point of possible worst surge for Biloxi - the winds are now coming out of the south and straight up the bay. And the bottom part of Mississippi is getting the worst of the eyewall.

NO was the greatest chance of absolute catrastrophe. But there will be tremendous damage inland from wind and flooding.

The storm went ashore at 135 mph, as a wide storm. So did Hugo. And Hugo wreaked hell all the way to Charlotte and beyond.
