Things are already wet and gusty here in Jackson. I was up until 1:30 and slept fitfully. I finally got up about a half hour ago. It isn't looking good for the Miss. coast. Katrina is turning a bit east. Fuck.

The Biloxi TV station is still doing live feed at http://www.wlox.com . It looks like the New Orleans stations are off the air and are feeding off of affiliate stations elsewhere. Mobile, Ala. stations are also still feeding live video coverage: http://www.wpmi.com , http://www.wkrg.com .

Gah!!! How far away are you from the Gulf? I mean, you're in a safe spot right?

I'm in the central part of the state, about 200 miles from the coast. Katrina's supposed to come right through the middle of the state and bring hurricane force winds as far as the north part of the state. I'm up high enough to not worry about flooding, but wind could be a problem. I'm just going to sit tight at home and wait it out.

I'm more worried about my sister, who is still on the coast in Long Beach, Miss., and my childhood home in Pascagoula. My parents evacuated so they're safe, but no telling what, if anything, they'll come home to.

Yeah and they are already seeing tornadoes swirling around which is just going to make things worse. The 9,000 people who are sheltering in the Superdome are getting worried because they can see daylight through the roof. I gather it's been torn apart by the storm.
