Note the latest position is starting to reverse the earlier westward jog, but not when their 15 NM radius of error is applied.

It got busy here... I guess a storm is coming.
My brother is watching that in the other room. "You should have seen that one," he said.
As it turns out there was in fact no Camille PARTY; a lot of people died in a set of apartments, there were only a handful of survivors; after a lot of digging a reporter found out one of the survivors had basically invented the whole "party" thing...he wrote a book about it. There was no party, just people that didn't evacuate huddling in their apartments.
Thing is people liked the idea of people stupidly partying and then dying so much the media got ahold of it and it really encouraged the woman to keep embellishing the story.
I beg to differ. On sat two years total outage time < 1 hour. My cable was out more often.
Stay safe everyone, my prayers are with you.
From your link:
Homes, motels, apartments, restaurants, and other buildings were swept off their foundations, and deposited in mountains of rubble together with trees and automobiles. The local effect resembled an atomic bombing. Camille's 200 mph wind gusts and 25 foot storm surge, destroyed 100 years of growth and progress along the Mississippi coast in only three hours. Survivors near the eye reported a deafening roar of wind, that was by itself truly terrifying, often compared to speeding freight train. Although the damage in all of southern Mississippi was appalling, within about 1/2 mile from the ocean, most of the structures seemed to have just vanished. Only footings and slabs remained. Even plumbing systems had been removed.A few years ago I visited a friend in Pascagoula, Mississippi. While on the beach he showed me some nearby lots which still, a quarter century after Camille, were nothing but overgrown grass surrounding flat, weathered concrete foundation slabs, nubs of plumbing pipes, a layer or two of brick where a chimney used to be, and a single stairstep where the front stairs used to be. Camille had wiped the houses which used to stand there from the face of the Earth, and nothing but outlines remained.
The article's description of it being like "an atomic bombing" is apt.
TWC's Mark Seidel is the one who was dodging lightning bolts on live television yesterday. Good to hear he has recovered in time to dodge 25ft waves now.
It looks like Mobile will be on the West side of the eye. As such the wind will be coming out of the North and pushing the water out of the Bay -- ergo no flooding.
What webcam are you guys watching?
He was still in NYC as of midnight...........
Not good news for Pensacola, though.
I thought about that, where do you live to avoid Mother Nature and decided right in the middle of Indiana. I never hear bad news from Indiana.
Good before and after pictures of hurricane Camille herehttp://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/homepages/roger_pielke/camille/gallery.html
GMTA. I do the same thing. I did put several of them in the freezer a few days ago to keep things good and cold in case the power goes out. Should be OK for a good long while if I don't open it.
I also filled up several bags of ice from my icemaker. My kids laugh at me for always being prepared for just about anything, but, hey, one never knows!
what commish said, was going to be my response. I know that the best surfing waves in the world are created by cliff-like undersea dropoffs combined with earth or rock jutting out. So I'd say the lack of sand bar on a shoreline will make the waves higher and more ...erosive. Is erosive a word? :)
Going to let this thread run for awhile since nobody is complaining about it being too sluggish.
I'm just watching Fox news on TV...
