Sorry, but we now have to create a new scale for hurricanes.

Heard from several different people today that cell phone coverage out of Harrison and Jackson Counties very spotty...calls trying to get through from there lasting only seconds before losing the signal.

I have been looking at additional satellite images and figuring out the distance in of the storm surge in various areas along the MS Gulf Coast. I'm working out more details about how the surge developed so differently from the standard pattern, and looking at the debris fields. I earlier posted ideas on this sometime in the past two days. I am just curious to see if I can possibly feel worse than I do right now about how things worked out for the Gulf Coast, so I thought this was just the thing.

I doubt any accurate numbers are out but if anyone has heard storm surge estimates in feet for anywhere on the MS Gulf Coast I would appreciate if you could PM them to me.

Since MS has no other coastline I suppose I should stop saying Gulf Coast as it is slightly redundant, but it's an old habit.
