From Councilman-at-Large, Gary Knoblock:
Update, 8/25: Although it looks as if Bay St. Louis has missed significant impacts from Marco, we’re still watching Laura carefully. It’s predicted to escalate into a category 3 storm before hitting land near the Louisiana/Texas border. However, we still need to be prepared and may experience high winds and higher than normal surges. Residents in lower areas, Wards 5-6, you know the tides will be rising. Batten down the hatches and be ready!! Click here for the Shoofly Magazine's storm readiness check-list and complete resource guide.
