We have a steady rain. Wind is not so bad right now. Just worried about the tornados now. There is 2 bands to the east of us and that's where they say you have to worry about the tornados and they are moving west. Hope everything is ok salty.

Jeff & Justin, if the center would move west just a little bit...y'all would be in the wet stuff. The 1:00 am advisory said it's movin' NW @ 5 mph w/max winds @ 50. I just wish it'd move enough west so we could get out from under this feeder band. It hasn't been as bad the past 30-45 minutes as it's been since 10:00 or so. Just went out and checked my gauge. Looks like we're up to around 11-12"....best I can tell. I don't know how accurate that is since it was rainin' sideways for a couple hours. Bay St. Louis has been under the same feeder as us and they're over 20". I don't know how long that covers, tho.

If you guys want rain...I hope you get it. Wishin' y'all well either way.

They said earlier the rain gauges weren't worth a flip cause the rain was coming in sideways & weren't accurate at all. So if you got 12" it's probably closer to 20".

Default New flood warning!!!
PIKE COUNTY, MS (WAFB) - The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for southwestern Pike County in southern Mississippi because officials believe a dam will fail.
NWS said local emergency management and law enforcement officials reported the Lake Tangipahoa Dam is expected to fail.
Forecasters expect severe flooding downstream along the Tangipahoa River from west of the McComb Airport and Magnolia to Osyka.
The water level is expected to rise nearly eight feet below the dam to six feet at Osyka. The river stage at Osyka is currently 14.8 feet.
The weather service said this is a flash flood emergency for all low-lying areas along the Tangipahoa River, including Osyka.
This will put the crest on the tangipahoa river at 21.5 feet ,highest on record. I believe this is the lake at Percy Quinn State park.

Sorry to hear this! Hope you get it back together smoothly!

This thing is so slow moving. We would normally be talking about the remnants of Isaac by now and it moving through NE US.

I'm so ready to get back to normal, I want to see my kids and I want to take a hot steaming dump in my toilet while I cruise SaltyCajun.


Hope all of you Guys are doing the best you can out there.

POX, Thanks for helping those folks out, you will be blessed.
