Today streams of cars started coming up from Florida to get out of the way of hurricane/tropical storm Fay. A lot of Floridians used to go to Mobile to take refuge when hurricanes approached, but now it seems they want to go farther north, so Mississippi Highways 98 and 57 were busy with long trails of cars, many headed for Hattiesburg.
A weatherman on the radio said it was despicable the way the news media is hyping this storm and scaring people and putting reporters out ready to broadcast in their rain gear. All I know I do not trust meterologist anymore. They don't know what a hurricane will do until it gets right offshore. They make guesses about the track, just like anybody on the street does.
But if it does veer up toward Georgia, like I sincerely hope it does, they will get the benefit of the rain which they need, since the southeast has been in drought conditions for the past few years. I'm fighting the urge to go to Wallymart to buy tons of canned goods and such. Bet the place is crowded. Just mention hurricane here and everybody gets antsy. susil.
