That's an interesting read,
@beckygardener. Having lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast for 25 years, and in New Orleans 4 years prior to that, watching the Atlantic and the Gulf during hurricane season is second nature for me. In fact, I had a 2x3' hurricane tracking chart each year, prominently displayed in my dental office. Patients and staff alike loved to put a tack noting the latest position of an ongoing hurricane. I have been through six major hurricanes including Camille and Katrina. I miss living on the Gulf Coast but I sure don't miss dealing with hurricanes. By the way, though Starkville is approximately 250 miles north of the Gulf, when Katrina made her way through, Starkville got 95 mph winds.
