We are not in harms way with this one, but i know we had a few members around the
Pascagoula area, ya ll stay safe. Looks like your going to be on the dirty side of the storm with wind and surge the major threat to you.
Cat 3-4 is nothing to play with
Be smart and stay safe

Sunday morning. I hate watching hurricanes move closer to landfall. It’s like watching a slow motion train wreck.

Ida was a sleeper .... She hit down south and no one up North expected her to cause any real damage.... Maybe just a little rain. HAHAHAHAHA.... Well, in NJ the ground was already soft for a lot of previous storms going by, and the trees had full foliage on them so the rain stuck to the leaves and made them heavier, and the Oak trees were full of baby acorns (thousands of them) that made them even heavier still.... Upshot or it was a large Red Oak in my neighbors yard uprooted and came crashing down. That, in turn, hit a large Red Oak on the street next to my property causing it to uproot and fall into yet another large Red Oak that needed a soft place to fall, so it decided the roof and hood of my wife's 2018 Honda CRV looked like a good spot. Not pretty. Fortunately only the top most branches of the tree hit her car, not the really heavy trunk which would have totaled it. As it is the damage is several K. Oh, my rain gauge that reads up to 10 inches overflowed, during that same time... AND.... we lost power from other trees falling, so the sump pumps in my basement stopped working and we got a lot of wet carpet until I got my generator started, so ya, it was a night to remember. Wheeeee.....
