If you want to read a book about the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, read this one:

Very interesting. A category 5 f**k-up by the US govt too.
Please pray for my wife, she's at Keessler AFB in Biloxi Miss. and she is hunkering down at the hospital. I'm at Charleston AFB and cannot be with her.
Shep is from Mississippi I believe.
I think Shep grew up in Mississippi.
This storm did change rapidly, lessons learned...
Yup. And I don't see how the Mobile Bay I-10 bridge can stand up to 20' tides. You could see it go just like the Escambia Bay bridge did last year.

I like Shep a lot. But I think it gives people a false sense of security by showing up at this point.
I agree. Before this storm gets to the Atlantic next week, it sure could be.
yes our prayers are with your wife and you.
Thank you for checking in! Now it's a matter of hurry up and wait. Hate that part too...
Gas is $2.69/gallon here in the land of cheese and beer, and I just topped off. If I'm healthy enough to make it to mini-Bristol (Slinger; I've got a nice late-summer cold), I'll top off again on the way home.
Even that could be a problem for awhile.
"The government chose to put the oil near the Gulf of Mexico because there are many oil refineries nearby and because shipping is readily available. The sites are Bryan Mound near Freeport, Texas; Big Hill near Winnie, Texas; West Hackberry near Lake Charles, La.; and Bayou Choctaw near Baton Rouge, La."
No, they rebuilt.
I thought Shep grew up in Florida?
On that weather junkie site, here, there was a thread that Katrina was batting back like a handball, a storm system in Texas, that wanted to move east, but Katrina just said no.
Prayers for your wife.
I'm still listening to the WDSU-TV Internet feed. It is chilling to hear newscasters in N.O. say things like "we'll hold out here as long as we can."
Prayers for her AND you.
Oh my--certainly will keep both of you in my prayers.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
