That's crap John....provide a link that shows the track "nowhere near". We

Looks like it was hitting Mississippi up around Columbus, and heading
North from you...

How high did your winds get ... in Union?

Bob,
The storm was not a pinpoint single line width across the map but over 3 0 0
m i l e s wide. I did not measure the "winds in Union". 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...

President Bush has authorized "Disaster Relief Funds" for 38 counties in
Mississippi including my county of Newton.

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?

Yep, those tropical depressions can be rough -- let us know next time
it rains in Union -- we'll want to see "before & after" pics of your
tower.

Hardly even a tropical depression. here is the WEATHER.COM Wind history
for Union (Actually Meridian) for the last few days. I would not call
it a Cat 4 Hurricane, but like every thing Charlie says its an exaggeration

Damn! gusts to 59 and they get Federal disaster assistance? Hell, we
had gusts that high in the past couple months on the Oregon coast. Maybe
we ought to appy too?

NOT FOR DISASTER RELIEF FUNDS but Federal assistance for Debris Removal
and Emergency services ... 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.
