I thought I would post this image from one of our readers… just a reminder we are getting close to the core of the hurricane season… Zachary writes:
“Some of my dad’s family lives near Gulfport, Mississippi.
Joe works for Mississippi Power and the family stayed in
their house during the storm. They received damage but
did repair their house fairly quickly. We visited them last
September, and he told me that he would put some damage
pictures on CD-R’s and send them to me. Well, turns out,
he and his wife worked hard to put some 4,600 photos on
I think 19 CD’s and send them this way!!! Many of these
pictures were taken even before the roads were cleared
and even before the gusty winds and clouds moved out.
Here is one of them; I have his permission to show the
pictures to others, and can send more if you want them.

I had a very hard time deciding which one to send – there
are so many!!! I don’t know who took most of the pictures
but Joe said I could ask him over the phone about any pic-
ture, as they have copies of them.
Keep up the great work in the weather office!!!”
