If they were not high enough for you then maybe better luck next time. According to the storm category indications on the map at http://www.wunderground.com/tropical.../at200504.html "Hurricane Dennis" was actually a "tropical depression" before it ever crossed into Mississippi, some distance north of Union. Charlie, I would never wish high winds upon anyone, but before you brag about riding out a Category 4 Hurricane, you should be a little more accurate in your terminology :-) Have a good one... bob k5qwg |

President Bush has authorized "Disaster Relief Funds" for 38 counties in
Mississippi including my county of Newton. 1. http://www.wtok.com/home/headlines/1678647.html You cartographer skills as well as your meteorological powers of analysis leave a lot to be desired. Have a nice day.....sorry my tower did not collapse and that no one in my family was killed. Maybe next time..eh? -- Charlie Ham Radio - AD5TH www.ad5th.com Deep South 2 Meter SSB Net www.deepsouthnet.net "Bob Miller" wrote in message ...

NOT A DISASTER AREA. Nice Exaggeration! Additionally, Brown said the state and affected local governments in 23 counties are eligible to apply for federal funds to pay 100 percent of the approved costs for debris removal and emergency services related to the hurricane, including requested emergency work undertaken by the federal government, for a period of up to 72 hours. The 23 counties designated eligible for the assistance include Clarke, Covington, Forrest, George, Greene, Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson Davis, Jones, Kemper, Lamar, Lauderdale, Lowndes, Marion, Neshoba, Newton, Noxubee, Pearl River, Perry, Smith, Stone, and Walthall. |
