Georges question

After Georges made landfall near Biloxi(?), it moved due east, why?

NHC/TPC Archive of Hurricane Seasons:

Georges became quasi-stationary for the next 6 to 12 hours moving in a cyclonic loop over southern Mississippi. The tropical storm began moving in a generally northeast to east direction early on the 29th and was downgraded to a tropical depression by mid-morning while located about 30 n mi north-northeast of Mobile, Alabama. Georges continued to move eastward at 5 to 10 knots on the 29th and 30th. By early morning of 1 October, the system dissipated near the northeast Florida/southeast Georgia coast, although a very weak remnant low did emerge over the western Atlantic during the day. However, the remnant circulation merged with a frontal zone by late on the 1st.

Does it answer your question!!!

I know Margie, I was here. lol. We got hammered here in Pascagoula and Gautier experienced the eye. We never did. Which put us right in the eyewall for a very long time.

My uncle in Franklin Creek got about 4 feet of water in his house during Georges. It was almost a total loss.

That's strange. My grandparents are in Gautier and they were in the eyewall the whole time too. I guess the eye stayed just slightly to the west of them. (They live right on the river right across from Pascagoula so I guess they were just far east enough.)

My sister was in Gautier and she called me. She was outside and it was calm, but it was still blowing hard at my parents house. It was eery.

Franklin Creek suffered during georges, especially when Mobile opened their flood gates. That was uncalled for.

Yep it was the flood gates that got My uncle's house. The water came up so fast that he went to bed and woke up a few hours later when water came into his bed. :eek:

yep, the same Georges that hammered MS, also moved through the Keys, and DEVASTATED much of the northern Carib. May have been the storm of the 1990's (no lower than third, only Mitch and Andrew may rank above them)

I remember it was supposed to come close to our area, they issued mandatory evacuations and then it changed course. I am glad I live in the Hurricane buffer zone 8-)

I believe it's the French name for a male.

Really? I never knew that.

Oh yea, Georges played he!! on Pascagoula for sure. My house had 4 feet of water inside and we estimated from the debris line outside it was about 6 feet. We also had two trees on top of the house so had to deal with the water coming in the roof too. Had to completely redo the inside of my house only to have it totally wiped off the map by Katrina only 7 years later..........
