Symposium Update
* Good morning from Starkville and the fifth Southeast Severe Storms Symposium...I was a bit late arriving this morning...The first talk I heard was a discussion of Hurricane Katrina damage by Alan Gerard. Alan is the Meteorologist-In-Charge of the NWS in Jackson, and he does a wonderful job. His presentation today was great; he showed some very powerful and moving images of the damage along the Gulf coast. The Palace Casino was moved 3/4 mile down the coast!* The second presentation of the day came from NWS Memphis. They discussed the similarities and differences between how Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Katrina impacted their part of the world...Interesting stuff!
* There are still several great presentations ahead...Davis Nolan from WKRN will do a discussion about exactly what went wrong during Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. And, my good friend Justyn Jackson will present his findings about severe weather parameters in the Southeast. I'm definitely looking forward to that one - Justyn is one of the brightest young brains in the weather business.
