Hi guys!  I'm typing this here from an internet cafe and I don't know when I'll get the chance to get back on here.  As many of you know, I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and we were just hit bad by Hurricane Katrina (the same hurricane that just plowed through where Civic lives in South Florida).  From what I hear, the coast is torn up pretty bad...my house is only half a mile from the beach and so far I have no way of knowing if it is still there or not.  So, until further notice, I'm staying up in North Alabama until the roads get opened up down on the coast so I can go home.  I brought my G5 with me, so I have my mac to keep me company on my "vacation", but there is no internet connection in the hotel I'm staying in!

I'll talk to you guys when I get back, have power, have cable internet, etc.

Well - it doesn't look good they even mentioned Gulfport specifically as one of the hard hit places when I watched on the news and I remembered you were from there.

Seems as though it's died off though once it hit land but it still was pretty bad.

I heard somewhere that when it was a Cat 5 storm it contained enough energy to equal 10 Hiroshima atomic bombs, and that when it hit land as a Cat 4 it was equal to a 30 mile wide F2 tornado. Crazy shit.

Storm surges, abnormal rises in sea levels, were estimated to be as high as 15 feet to 18 feet near New Orleans and 10 feet to 15 feet in Gulfport, Mississippi. As much as 12 inches of rain fell in southeastern Louisiana. Flooding in Alabama tore an oil drilling platform from its moorings and slammed it into a bridge over the Mobile River.


Sounds like to me GulfPort as well as the GulfCoast got pwnt.  Hope it didnt hurt the rebuilding from Ivan to much, my grandparents own a condo in Orange Beach.

I'm heading back to the coast this morning, probably won't have electricity for as long as 2 weeks.  See you guys when I get back online!

I keep seeing pictures of Gulfport on TV and it's terrible - roads are completely destroyed - houses are leveled and there are people starving on top of their roofs while the helicopters fly over them and watch.

they're just screwing themselves over more, local economy and quality of life in those parts is going to be shit after these store owners have to shut down...don't think anyone is going to be wanting to open a new business in a hurricane ravaged ghost town.

Yep, an area on the Coast the size of Michigan got completely Pwnd.  Makes me glad I left my house that would have been in the "disaster area" and living up in Iowa.  Sorry to say, but GS, I doubt any house a half mile from the beach would still be standing.
