How did it all go with the hurricane by the way? dee
Sorry for the delay and I appreciate the concern.
The wind was only 40 to 50 mph in my area, Central MS, about 200
miles from the coast line.
Rainfall was 2 inches over 3 days, then 3 inches over another 3
days. The rain was slow and steady, most of the time.
Thus little flooding, pooling or damage here.
Further south and west, 100 miles from the coast, the winds were much
higher and rainfall greater or course.
One is never completely safe from a hurricane because of the many
tornados. You cannot duck, run, and hide from them.
They show up suddenly, do damage in a moment or less, and are
gone. Very bad and unpredictable.
The current hurricane, IKE, is headed straight for the coast of
TX. It it turns north, it could come my way, or west, toward Mexico,
It reminds me of Hurricane Carla, in 1961.
I was working in TX at that time, and was guarding a large high
bridge, "The Bay Bridge" in Corpus Christi. Gusts were 85 mph and
higher at times.
The wind did in fact blow me away from my post several times.
I had to return during lower winds. I should have been scared, but
instead seemed to enjoy the excitement.
Brave or Foolish, ......... Not sure. Maybe both.
Off the coast of TX is a long and narrow resort area called Padre
Island. It was demolished, virtually destroyed by Hurricane Carla.
One should look at a map to appreciate the long and beautiful Resort
Area. Unless IKE changes course, I fear it will happen again. That
has been about 47 years.
As one matter of fact, I was selling advertising for the newspaper in
Corpus Christi, "The Caller Times".
Also worked on a shrimp boat out of Aransas Pass.
None of this was exciting enough, so I went to CA and got a guided
tour of San Quintin, using phony ID and a phony name.
Not ever redneck has done that. Had lunch as a special guest with the Warden.
Now....... that was a thrill !
This old redneck, has done too many different things, if you have not
already figured that out. <grin>
And I have said many times, I have used up all my good luck in life
so I am very careful for the rest of the trip.
I fear the many hurricanes and all the different effects will in fact
effect our food supply, and supply of many other things.
Here is a good link to see the projected route.
Several hurricanes, your choice.
