It might happen down there. Maybe not a freeze, but frost in some areas.

Real fall weather and no storms! Gosh, that makes me want to cry! I know, I'm an old softy!
Still no power at our house in Ocean Springs. I know there are plenty that do have it.
Timber thanks for checking in on me. I stayed at a friend's house off of 2nd street in Gulfport. Just trees and limbs. A few buildings had some structure damage. It seemed that wherever a tree fell it took out a line or pole. Dam near every street had lines taken out. Winds only got to sustained 80 gusts to 100 in Gulfport. Water covered 90 in places where it always flood. On big lake water got up maybe 5 ft. Gonna be a while till we get power in channel place cove drive🚗
Power still out in Gulfport around 2nd street. Most of Biloxi has power except around Edgewater, Channel Mark. Most roads are open and some one please get the idiot mhp and mdot officers away from Cowan pass road intersection. They don't have a clue on how to direct traffic
Hey Timber just got power back around 5Pm just in time to watch this piece of shit exhibition of football. Thank heaven for the Island View sports was down yesterday cause I would've lost my ass. It's going to be awhile for most of Gulfport to get their power back.
Man glad to hear you got power back on, that makes everything much better. I keep hearing about the nightmares over in Gulfport with traffic. I want to go check things out over that way but I?m staying out of the way. Still have plenty to deal with at my house. It was weird trick or treating with my daughter tonight having to walk around big piles of debris on the sidewalks. It was a nice distraction though and we had tons of kids out in the neighborhood.
Glad you guys are okay!
Hurricane Eta is at 150 mph at the 6:00 CST update, just off the coast of Guatamala/Nicaragua. It's going to do some major damage down there, and potentially could impact the US. It intensified very rapidly, but that's not the first time it's happened down there. I seem to remember one a few years ago that went from a depression to a Cat 5 virtually overnight in the same area.
I was just looking at eta info, going to enjoy Peter Anderson Festival this weekend and not think about it. After Zeta we?re heading to family in Jacktown if another one comes this way this year. That one put the fear in me.
I just looked it up - it was Mitch in 1998. Killed 11,000 people in Central America, and Eta could possible be almost as bad. It was a strong Cat 4 at landfall, I believe.

Hurricane Iota is now a Cat 5 with winds of 160, and is going into Nicaragua, which is just south of where the Cat 4 came ashore just a week or two ago. It's going to really be destructive, and possibly very deadly.
