Praying for an end to the tornados...
They keep saying on Fox that "the back side of the storm is a little weaker". Is that true?
In Katrina, I'd say the back side of the storm here (Mobile) was perhaps 3 times as bad as the front side. Winds were sustained for long periods. When a calm hit, we figured it was the eye passing nearby and were relieved there wasn't much debris in the yard/street, etc. But then came the back end...what a mess.
Maybe that was an anomoly. But don't count on the back end being more tame.
