Looks like Mobile would be getting the bad side of katrina.


Well, one good thing about this (at least for Mobile) is that the system hasn't started it's northwestward turn yet. Another advisory or two and we'll be over to Lafayette.

2 models have it going right over me in Terrebonne Parish. And I am a whole 60 miles west of New Orleans. I think it will be a close call and give us a good scare like Camille, Ivan, and Georges. I remember boarding up our house and thought for sure that Georges was coming our way. It turned at the last minute and we ended up with blue skies and sunshine. I sure don't want this on anybody. 7 people already died. The bad thing about a GOM storm is that you get no fish storms.

DO NOT think like that. You have to think it will hit you, be prepared for the worst...
