I'm 100+ miles inland as the crow flies and as of last night there were forecasts of sustained tropical storm force winds plus cat one hurricane gusts for a 12 hour period 11 AM - 11 PM Monday.
I live about 45 miles inland from the MS coast. I grew up in Mobile so I feel your pain. I admit I was being a smartass because during Katrina I can’t tell you the number of people who made that stupid comment. People live along the coast because of jobs. That crap we buy at Walmart from China doesn’t get airdropped in Kansas. And our ships aren’t built in Indiana.
