STAYING in a 10th floor beachfront condo in Biloxi!!

[hibiscushouse]

Did he read the 10 am advisory?

Occupants of high-rise buildings within the
Hurricane Warning area can expect higher winds than those
experienced at the surface...about one Saffir-Simpson category
higher at the top of a 30-story building.

Take shelter!

Unless he's Media /Law enforcement I dont see how he could stay in a hotel on the 1st floor of the 30 th floor..ALL HOTELS UNDER EVAC ORDER

For goodness sake, don't anyone offer the person some USEFUL advice.

If they can't leave at this point, even to find a shelter, how about descending to, say, floor 4, or so, and getting into an interior hallway in the center of the building. There may be a central storage room on each floor, something with no windows.

Do they have a basement or parking garage nearby---parking garages are assfault and sound stronger than an 10 story condo IMHO

earlier in the thread I wrote:

I wouldn't stay that high. If he insists on staying in the building, the stairwell down around the third or fourth floor is probably about the best one could do. Concrete walls and above any storm surge. But in his situation, I'd head for the nearest shelter now (not that I'd be in his situation in the first place).

Thanks for all the advice. I posted a link to this thread for him at the other board. Hopefully you've scared him enough to convince him to take whatever measures he can. It's a condo, not a hotel. He lives there. Hopefully he will com eout unscathed and have learned something valuable from the experience.

NO advice needed cause I dont think he's there!(hotel) Still several people fueling up and leaving here in Biloxi

[gtalum]

It's not a hotel, it's a condo. He lives there. And he's still there,or so he claims.

10th floor of a condo? sliding glass door? at/near landfall?

Also, local ES personnel would certainly appreciate this Rhodes Scholar writing IN INDELIBLE INK his SSN up his arm and down his leg. That's helpful when trying to ID someone after the landfall.

**edit**!!

No attacks.

And Scott's advice is true.
