126 people and 278 barking dogs.

If you see a car pop up in the middle of this place....that's just Tate and his family....they had MDOT build a tunnel from his house to the safe place.....he uses it when the weather is bad....or when he gets subpoenaed

Will they be checking ID for residency?

I thought this was one of those new attractions put on by brilliant 20-something year old's where they voluntarily lock themselves and subsequently escape from a room.

Safe spaces in Rankin County. Hopefully the crowds from New Orleans can find it easily.

The sheriff does a great job of running the safe room. the location and facility serves the community well. And 90% of the cost was covered by the feds. If you've never seen it, it's a nice, functional facility. Good job, Sheriff and good job, Rankin Supervisors. May as well find something positive that happens around here occasionally.

LoL, PANIC!

Winds are forecasted to reach as high as 27 MPH tomorrow; so what am I missing?

I must be missing a weather forecast somewhere.

A steak and a good bottle of bourbon says the same folks bitchin that the safe room is being opened would be the same ones bitchin if it weren't.

So the feds gave $$$ to Rankin and that $$$ was actually used to build a structure...and you’re elated at that fact?

Sad times indeed

WDAM stated "Free Pizza" at the shelter in Hattiesburg!

Free money from the feds = the government bribing the sheeple with their own money.

So a reactionary offering of services because of the lack of insight and foresight involving Katrina is a misdeed?
Riiight. If it weren't for the pearl "community center" I would have never survived that fiasco.

In the real world, if we don't adequately prepare for what we're subject to we're ridiculed; however, if we do, we're also ridiculed.

The concern is a lack of power in instances such as this. Not every municipality has forced energy utilities to go underground.

An abundance of trees and chaotic winds equals downed power lines. Downed power lines for too long cause chaos, especially when dealing with evacuees. Combine that with electronic money and a lack of cash and you have a true disaster.

Most of that printed money is digital, may I remind you. The digitocracy requires power. Without power, the FSA would go apesh*t in two days.

Wisdom and scoffing intelligence are two combating forces fueled by dogmatic egos.

The 'Pearl Community Center' allowed you to survive a disaster? Please! Next you'll tell us Tim Frith and The Gospel Echoes pulled you through the toughest of times.
