It would be great if it did stay a tropical storm but everything I'm hearing is it's going to probably be a Cat 1 at landfall. Even Cat 1's can cause havoc so play on the safe side for your sake.
Hey,
I just got back in this evening to take care of my home stuff in Hattiesburg, been on the road constant for almost three months but I been hearing strong Cat 1 and possibly weak Cat 2 if it does not stall out in the gulf. Just all please be safe....
Cat 1, Cat 2, TS whatever!! Y'all tarp it, fill up your cars, gas cans, have plenty of water and can food on hand. Get some gas on hand for a generator if you have one. Don't forget batteries for flashlights or kerosene for lamps if you have those. And for God's sake and your own, find high ground if you're in the storm surge path.
You just might want to travel a little north in the state out of its path. There might be som adventures there as well. For sure be safe however it goes.
