MM, my best take on all this, not good for Pascagoula, but believe it or not it could be worse, especially if it wobbles a little to the west on landfall... got to hope for a little more drift to the east but I'm not sure if that is going to come.... as it stands right now they should get the full brunt of both the north and south eye walls, bad, bad, bad, but NOT dreaded east quad with the 16 foot storm surge....... still extremely bad... I can't sugar coat this... this is the only storm in my life that I seriously considered evacuating.... my a car is still packed in case something strange happens.... ... tree damage will be unbelievable.... I not sure how the surge will be in goula, but it should not be as bad as what the east quad will get... best guess, 6-10 feet max... still bad...

the strip of commerical activity on the west side of Mobile near the USS Alabama Battleship area will not be there after tonight.. this area will see catastrophic damage.... and worse than Fredrick..
