we will know it's serious when I get a call to head south (in uniform)
I hope it takes wester track and dumps lot of water on AR.
Just tested all the generators, consolidated the frozen foods, filled up my 100 gallon tank with non-eth gas, called for 700 gallons if propane and filled all my water tanks.
All stuff that had to be done eventually, so why not today.
I hope for no reason at all.

Unfortunately, as of the time of this email, Hurricane Isaac is projected to impact the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Initial tropical storm winds of 50mph could occur as early as Tuesday morning.
Hurricane Isaac is a huge storm projected to be a Category 2 hurricane, approximately 800 miles across with a storm surge of 6-12 feet. With its size, hurricane winds up to and exceeding 100 miles per hour could occur for 6-8 hours.
Twelve to sixteen inches of rainfall are projected, and flooding and power outages are anticipated. While projections and hurricane tracks can change, we should assume their accuracy.
Please follow all evacuation orders from your county and initiate the MEMA preparedness guidelines immediately.
The Secretary of State’s Gulf Coast office will close at 5:00 pm on Monday August 27th. Please refer any issues to our Jackson office at (601) 359-1350.
It appears our Mississippi sense of community, particularly those of our Gulf Coast neighbors , will again be tested.

yeah. Nat Guard is getting spun up. TAG just went into a meeting with Gov. and our infantry units have been activated tomove to home station. (ie the are prepping for when GOV evacuates lower 6 counties..they will start the "knock mission" tomorrow I assume)
NOLA is initating mandantory evacs and have mob over 6k troops all ready.
I expect the call any minute. As Nolen apptly posted above do the water, gas, battery, insurance check (and for us.....check your tools, truck, winch, etc. so you can help out with tree damage etc after.)
I believe the power outages will remain in the lower 6, for masses, but we will have intermittent. Dad said they have all ready frozen his gas prices MEMA FEMA are all ready on site in lower 6 counties. Dad expects all his tanks to be dry by 8 am and all ready has more enroute from texas.
(we pre staged generators at each store so we can continue to service jones county....we were the only ones that did this during Katrina and bc of it Dad got the city govt tab and the school system tab on a yearly contract
)
gas stations look insane right now.
hoping it won't be to nasty.....but as it moves into that shallower, warmer water...look out

Wow, I did not know MEMA froze the prices. I have mixed feelings about that.
We got mid-grade Non-ethanol gas at Canton Junction for 3.57 a gallon. Got 100 gallons.

Evacuate to Hot Springs and wheel all week.
No one wheels anymore......
MEMA doesn't freeze price. That's done by some other regulatory agency. I meant they wrote dad a check for $27k and "control" one of his stations for their vehicles
evacuate and drink.

Hot Damn
Got 4 phone calls about gas, diesel, and jet fuel levels today so the air side of the natl guard is getting ready as well. We learned some lessons from Katrina.

Well we are going to be on the western side of it so there won't be too much rain, hopefully just right. Might go buy back up basement sump pump.
Creeping along to the West. new data comes out at 7am but the new models run at 1000 so no real updates but I would say its looking good for Ark to get rain
yeah Guard is pre staging Infantry but we aren't anticipating a big event for Ms. I would say coastal flooding dictated by storm surge and some power outages.
Looks like it is boresighted on NOLA right now.

If Jeff would send out more birds from Gulfport to recon in the storm we might know more.....
im gonna go ahead and say the 1000 update will reflect CAT 1 status. it's far enough into the Gulf it's got to be strengthening. (it's definitely north of that dry air in the NW lesser antilles that was stalling it)
