Periodic wave sets in the 60 foot range, with a peak of 91 FEET, this buoy sits 20 ft. SSE of Gulfport, MS.

(yes, that's 60 footers crashing on shore).

The peak wave at the mouth of the Mississippi was measured at 89 feet, and NO has had some 88 footers just outside of Lake Borgne.

Miles O'Brien hasn't blogged anything from Red Stick LA in the last 1 1/4 hours.
Lucky he's not paid at piece-work rates.

Worst of storm hitting NOLA now and do not drink the water order in effect.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Check that, 12 feet of water from on the scene report in Mobile. "Mobile Bay has relocated to downtown Mobile".

[SPARKY]

Great. I have family riding out the storm 2 miles inland in Gulfport.

We have customers near Theodore, AL, hope they got everything shut down tight.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

7 feet of water in East Jefferson Hospital, all of 6 blocks from the NO Superdome.

Probably because he's standing outside reporting.

I hope they're alright, looks like Gulfport is gonna get slammed too

Has anyone seen the video from inside the Superdome on CNN's website. I'm watching clips from earlier and there's people on the field. I was under the impression that they wouldn't be allowed down there?

[ObiwanGinobili]

so apparently there are allready reports in Miss., LA and NO of building collapses and blown roofs... and a bridge connecting a parking garage and a hospitol have collapsed.

There were people on the field yesterday.

No way that photo is from 8:30 CDT, the eye is already on shore.

Just going off what NASA has posted.

[Extra Stout]

That NASA picture could not have been from this morning. It shows the eye still 100+ miles off the coast. That looks like the Sunday 1 PM EDT photo.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

110 mph in Gulfport.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

130 mph gust in Slidell.

[SPARKY]

I hope they're alright, looks like Gulfport is gonna get slammed too

Thanks. They are riding it out in a house that survived Camile. During Camile, they felt the house literally rising up and then falling back down.
