BusterB & John - you need to start moving north. Here's our latest assessment:
With the current shift to the west Mississippi is on the dreaded Northeast
quadrant. This means Mississippi will get large amounts of wind up to 80 mph
sustained, rain over 15” in some areas, and surge 8-13 ft along the Coast.
The path of the storm is still not completely certain, nor is the intensity
of the storm, and weather conditions could change and shift the storms track
as well as hinder strength, but as it stands now Mississippi will be on the
receiving on of some of the worst of the storm fury. The latest update has
slight shift to the left, the best thing for Mississippi now is for the
storm to either speed up and move on through, or shift further to the west.
It is still a tropical storm; however with its current speed, as it churns
over the warm Gulf Water, it will develop into a hurricane, and if it does
not speed up could grow to a high Cat II.
