Cat 4
What a difference 3 hours makes. At 10:00 pm Katrina was a Cat 3 with 115 mph sustained winds. Now......Category 4 with 145 mph winds. No, your eyes are not going bad, Katrina has made a leap of 30 mph and is looking VERY impressive on Satellite.Now is the time to prepare and here are the things we need to do:
Buy supplies:
-Water
-Flashlights
-Batteries
-Non-Parishable food items
-Medicines
-Anything else that will get you by for at least a week without power
If you are in a mobile home, it is best to leave by Sunday evening, Monday morning at the ABSOLUTE latest.
Plan for the worst, hope for the best.
When the storm arrives, driving should not be an option. We expect very heavy rains to be a major factor and flooding while likely occur. It is not safe to drive on flooded roads. We also expect downed trees and power lines which are obviously hazards to driving. The best option is get out on Sunday, buy your supplies, and ride this out. I promise if we just have patience and prepare for a rough few days, better weather will be on the way!
Please stay tuned to WTOK online and on television for more updates. Josh Johnson will be providing live updates during Good Morning America at 7am and we will begin our hourly coverage Sunday afternoon. For more information on our changed programmaing, read the previous post on Programming.
