No generators left in Gulfport Home Depot - they had FIVE shipments of
them today, and couldn't keep them.
Plywood flying off the shelves
No hotels left in Jackson or Canton (North of Jackson)
Few left in Vicksburg or Grenada MS.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency is urging people to
make decisions about evacuations sooner than later, as they do
not want people on the roads caught in congestion.

It isn't going to get any better. It will get a lot worse between now and after Dennis makes landfall, regardless of where that is.

Mike Reader, the WLOX met, former hurricane hunter, said
"The models agree pretty well for 24 hours, and go everywhere
after that. Some go into Louisiana, others skimming the west coast of Florida. It's just too soon to say."
He showed a graph, if it makes landfall as expected in P'cola, then
the entire MS coast would have TS force winds. He quickly added
"that's subject to change"
He talked about the Florida ridge as well.

Interesting info from WDAM (hattiesburg/laurel, ms):
http://wdam.com/Global/story.asp?S=3567955&nav=1Pw1bt94
Pine Belt emergency management officials are sending out an early warning about Hurricane Dennis.
Hattiesburg and Forrest County emergency management director Terry Steed says Dennis is taking a similar course as Hurricane Frederic , one of the costliest hurricanes in U.S. history, which slammed ashore just west of Mobile as a category 3 storm in 1979 and caused widespread damage in southeastern Mississippi.
Steed says if Dennis continues along its forecast track, residents should prepare to see winds of 100 miles per hour and possibly severe damage to our area. He says it's wise to prepare for the worst.
Emergency officials will meet Friday morning to determine a plan of action just in case a mandatory evacuation is issued for the Gulf Coast.
