This site 05 OCT 2009

Hello! My Name is Don and this is my weather page. Glad you dropped by and hope you come back soon. I have this "THING" about weather and this page is primarly a view of Pascagoula Weather. ALL the instrument readings are in my backyard and this page is updated every 20 minutes. Good deal if you want local weather stats when a tropical storm or hurricane is approaching. I EVACUATE during hurricanes so it might not be right up to snuff if we are in a WARNING MODE So where is Pascagoula,well just look at the map below. ENJOY and come back often.

  HURRICANE INFORMATION
 This section will be devoted to HURRICANES. Watches and Warnings will be 
posted here, as well as tracking maps. ALL will be "OFFICAL INFORMATION" from the 
NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER. It will automactically update whenever they update so you will
have access to the very latest information that is available. I will be doing this for 
all regions of the U.S. so tell your friends and family if they cannot access the NHC site 
they can get in here.

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale REVISED in 2009
Following extracted from the TPC page
The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale is a 1-5 rating based on the hurricane's present 
intensity. This is used to give an estimate of the potential property damage and 
flooding expected along the coast from a hurricane landfall. Wind speed is the 
determining factor in the scale.

Category One Hurricane: 
Sustained winds 74-95 mph (64-82 kt or 119-153 km/hr). Damaging winds are expected. 
Some damage to building structures could occur, primarily to unanchored mobile homes 
(mainly pre-1994 construction). Some damage is likely to poorly constructed signs.
Loose outdoor items will become projectiles, causing additional damage. 
Persons struck by windborne debris risk injury and possible death. 
Numerous large branches of healthy trees will snap. Some trees will be uprooted, 
especially where the ground is saturated. Many areas will experience power 
outages with some downed power poles. Hurricane Cindy (pdf) (2005, 75 mph winds 
at landfall in Louisiana) and Hurricane Gaston (2004, 75 mph winds at landfall in 
South Carolina) are examples of Category One hurricanes at landfall. 


Category Two Hurricane: 
Sustained winds 96-110 mph (83-95 kt or 154-177 km/hr). Very strong winds will 
produce widespread damage. Some roofing material, door, and window damage of 
buildings will occur. Considerable damage to mobile homes (mainly pre-1994 
construction) and poorly constructed signs is likely. A number of glass windows 
in high rise buildings will be dislodged and become airborne. Loose outdoor 
items will become projectiles, causing additional damage. Persons struck by 
windborne debris risk injury and possible death.. Numerous large branches will 
break. Many trees will be uprooted or snapped. Extensive damage to power lines 
and poles will likely result in widespread power outages that could last a few 
to several days. Hurricane Erin (1995, 100 mph at landfall in northwest Florida) 
and Hurricane Isabel (2003, 105 mph at landfall in North Carolina) are examples of 
Category Two hurricanes at landfall. 


Category Three Hurricane: 
Sustained winds 111-130 mph (96-113 kt or 178-209 km/hr). Dangerous winds will cause
extensive damage. Some structural damage to houses and buildings will occur with a 
minor amount of wall failures. Mobile homes (mainly pre-1994 construction) and 
poorly constructed signs are destroyed. Many windows in high rise buildings will be 
dislodged and become airborne. Persons struck by windborne debris risk injury and 
possible death. Many trees will be snapped or uprooted and block numerous roads. 
Near total power loss is expected with outages that could last from several days to 
weeks. Hurricane Rita (pdf) (2005, 115 mph landfall in east Texas/Louisiana) and 
Hurricane Jeanne (2004, 120 mph landfall in southeast Florida) are examples of 
Category Three hurricanes at landfall. 


Category Four Hurricane: 
Sustained winds 131-155 mph (114-135 kt or 210-249 km/hr). Extremely dangerous 
winds causing devastating damage are expected. Some wall failures with some 
complete roof structure failures on houses will occur. All signs are blown down. 
Complete destruction of mobile homes (primarily pre-1994 construction). Extensive 
damage to doors and windows is likely. Numerous windows in high rise buildings 
will be dislodged and become airborne. Windborne debris will cause extensive 
damage and persons struck by the wind-blown debris will be injured or killed. 
Most trees will be snapped or uprooted. Fallen trees could cut off residential 
areas for days to weeks. Electricity will be unavailable for weeks after the 
hurricane passes. Hurricane Charley (2004, 145 mph at landfall in southwest 
Florida) and Hurricane Hugo (1989, 140 mph at landfall in South Carolina) 
are examples of Category Four hurricanes at landfall. 


Category Five Hurricane: 
Sustained winds greater than 155 mph (135 kt or 249 km/hr). Catastrophic damage 
is expected. Complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings 
will occur. Some complete building failures with small buildings blown over or 
away are likely. All signs blown down. Complete destruction of mobile homes 
(built in any year). Severe and extensive window and door damage will occur. 
Nearly all windows in high rise buildings will be dislodged and become airborne. 
Severe injury or death is likely for persons struck by wind-blown debris. 
Nearly all trees will be snapped or uprooted and power poles downed. Fallen 
trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last 
for weeks to possibly months. Hurricane Camille (pdf) (1969, 190 mph at landfall 
in Mississippi) and Hurricane Andrew (1992, 165 mph at landfall in Southeast 
Florida) are examples of Category Five hurricanes at landfall.
