The Drive Over
Just east of Milton FL, vegetation started to show tilt to the NW You start seeing broken trees
In Jay, some rooftops had total damage-- I couldn't believe it was that bad so far away from New Orleans!
business signs were damaged all throughout town
Gas is only about 2.50/gal here
starting to see trash piles EVERYWHERE-- dumpsters and haulers
Sunrise was about 6:45 Central Time
around Pensacola, for every tree you see down, the next one is in sight
In the Mobile Bay, I started noticing that all the foliage on ALL the trees were a fiery red/ traumatic brown
The Mobile Civic Center was SLAM FULL of people and cars standing in very long lines early as 8:20 am
Lots of army convoys traveling east, out of the damaged areas -- water trucks, bridges (engineers) , support, Humvees
Lots of law enforcements were also making exits, I saw Leon CO FL and a bunch of highway patrols from other states
airports at Moss Point had very heavy air traffic with small crafts
as I entered Mississippi, right behind the state welcome sign a huge steel billboard was folded up in a pile like the end of a Jenga game
The I-10 bridge East bound was out so all the traffic was going on the west side. ONe part reminded me of the old bridge section beside the seven mile bridge in the keys where it has that big section chopped out
when I was pulling into town, some dude yelled at me for the traffic being backed up. It prepared me that people are really stressed out here and the devil is loving it. But there is so much love being offered people.
THE SMELL
oh buddy.
The stench started around Pascagoula... and all my windows are off on my car.
It smells like that side-o-the-road dead animal where you speed up just to get past it
it smells like that overdue milk carton where you stuck your nose in it, but you can't get the smell off.
Smells so bad you wonder when you'll get your appetite back
you breathe really shallow
the smell is only in sections in Ocean Springs so far-- someone said you could break wind around here and no one would notice
