Well, I live on the Alabama coast, on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay and Katrina was rough. Ivan's eye passed right over us and there were times when Katrina felt very much like Ivan, just for a much shorter time period. Ivan we lost power for just a few hours..Katrina for several days.
Right now the AL/MS coast is experiencing flooding from Ike being 350 miles to our south, if that helps.
Ike is pushing a lot of water, tide is way up in Galveston Bay.
