I saw this from Alabama Power....
Last year, many customers in South Florida were without power for three weeks following Hurricane Charley, a storm comparable to Dennis. It also took three weeks to restore power following Hurricane Frederic, which struck the Gulf Coast in 1979.
Does anyone know if MCC's Summer classes have been canceled for Monday?

Really like your new Vipir radar...Hope it is here to stay
Because of the track farther east, what kinds of winds are you still expecting in our area of Meridian?
How will this compare in the Meridian area to Ivan?
If this area receives 6-12 inches of rain...what impact could this have on some local lakes..Are they already near full or designed for this type of rainfall.
The blog mentions there will be streaming coverage on the internet. I can't seem to find the link. Am I overlooking it or isn't it available yet? Thanks.
On the wtok.com homepage...in the middle of the page is a big blue button...if you click on that link...the video player will open...the stream will load and then begin shortly
Hey guys, you might find this somewhat useful for getting some reports from SW Alabama. A lot of stations don't work, but there is a working observation for Atmore, AL.
School Weather Net
Keep up the good work.

Can you please point out Bailey on your radar map?
I think it is so cool you guys have finally entered the 21st century with the new radar. It is so much easier to read and understand. I am a weather fanatic and I think you guys are rocking today!!! Thanks guys!

Tree down in the backyard at 202
Bailey Avenue in Quitman and the
power is blinking off and on. Heavy wind and rain here at 7:00 PM.
This is not a damage report but I would appreciate it very much if you will announce that The Kid Zone Daycare and Swim Club will be closed tomorrow. I'm afraid that a lot of my parents won't have power much longer and can't get your news. Thank you!
There are two small trees down on Front Street across from Union Station. One large tree down behind Union Station and some clay tiles have blown off the roof of Union Station
Tinka Tonka Family Day Care in Newton will be closed tomorrow.
As bad as the wind is blowing and the rain pouring down...humming birds are still flying to my feeder in Lockhart
Do you have a list of closures for Newton? Are we expected to get any of the storm or is it all headed towards Meridian?
Hi guys! Thanks for all the great work. I am not able to call all of our customers, so would you kindly scroll that Trendsetters Salon will be closed on Monday. Thanks alot, Leahann
From Maureen Lofton...
The City of Meridian will be open for business Monday as usual. All
employees should report for work at normal times, except those who are
working hurricane duty.
The 1300 block of 65th Avenue, near Westwwod Baptist Church, is blocked in
the northbound lane because of a downed tree.
Newton will not see a huge impact...Some rain, some wind...perhaps a few trees down...But the brunt of the storm will be extreme eastern MS and especially west Alabama...
Not sure about closings...
Old Marion Road at 33rd Avenue in Meridian is closed as of 7:42 p.m. becuase of downed trees. It will be reopened once the trees are cleared. The 1300 block of 65th Avenue, near Westwood Baptist Church, was blocked at 7:30 p.m. in the northbound lane because of a downed tree.

Waste Management will NOT pick up garbage tomorrow, Monday. Instead, the
Monday route will be serviced on Tuesday and the Tuesday route will be
serviced on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday will be as always.
To put it another way, the ordinary Monday and Thursday routes will be run
on Tuesday and Thursday. The normal Tuesday and Friday routes will be run
on Wednesday and Friday.
Compostables and limbs will be picked up on Saturday. (from the city of Meridian)
Highway 39 at 41st Street is now passable. A police officer cut the tree blocking the road enough so vehicles can get through. (from city of Meridian)
We have 95 trees down in our yard and cows flying through the air WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!!!! HELP US!!
can these people get serious already. is there any damage on long creek road? long creek/vimville?
A downed tree is partially blocking the street at 518 34th Avenue. (from city of Meridian)
East Philadelphia (Bloomo Community) has been without power since just before 9PM. No visible damage from my home, just occasional gusts that seem to be picking up in intensity.

The power has been out since 6:05 P.M. behind Broadmoor Shopping Center on 17th Avenue. Please make sure that a power crew knows about this. Our power has been out, but is back on now around 23rd Avenue and Country Club Drive.
As of approximately 5:00 PM, power was out along Hwy. 11 & 80 in Toomsuba. Seems to be affecting MS Power customers only - EMEPA customers still have power as far as we can tell. Also, there is a very large tree down on Hwy. 11 & 80 near Lauderdale-Toomsuba Road. This tree completely blocks the road, so anyone traveling east will need to exit at Russell and get on I-59/20.
Want to sing you's guyes praises today for the excellent storm coverage last night. Usually your coverage is a bit long winded and boring and on when a good show is on television, but last night was NEAT-O. The new radar (swanky) and the video, and the information on power outerges was grrrr-reat.
A real good friend of mind on 2905 Old Hwy 45 lost her trailer to a HUGE tree that with stood Ivan but this time it lost it's strength and came crashing down into her bedroom. Thank-God that she had left her home before the tree fell, and thank-God that she is alive & safe, her life can not be replace and her home can.. Thank-God for her safey...
