WKRG just reported 140 mph gusts in Buras, 113 gusts in Pascagoula and neither have seen the eye yet.
A gust over 100 in Pasco Beach already. Guess my brother is either pretty busy or possibly trying to snatch some sleep before the brunt of the storm hits, because I haven't heard from him since he went on duty last night.
1245Z vis sat image very impressive
From the 8am advis: "the center will be passing just to the east of New Orleans during the next few hours with the worst of the weather for that city occurring over the next couple of hours. The center is expected to move into southern Mississippi later today."
It looks like the weather will be bad for MS Gulf Coast as well the next several hours...and then the storm will arrive.
