DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------------------
ASCENSION 0 0 0
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS DOWNED A COUPLE TREES IN THE PARISH
AND RESULTED IN AN HOURS LONG 911 SERVICE OUTAGE ON THE EAST SIDE OF
THE PARISH DUE TO A DAMAGED TELECOMMUNICATIONS FIBER LINE.
ASSUMPTION 0 0 0
THE PARISH EXPERIENCED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WIND GUSTS BUT DID NOT
EXPERIENCE ANY SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE OR IMPACTS.
HANCOCK 0 17 UNK
PORTIONS OF THE COUNTY NEAR THE COAST EXPERIENCED HURRICANE FORCE
WINDS WITH WIND GUSTS NEARING OR EXCEEDING 100 MPH. AWAY FROM THE
COAST MOST PLACES EXPERIENCED SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS
WITH AT LEAST A FEW HURRICANE FORCE WIND GUSTS. ZETA`S WINDS
RESULTED IN WIDESPREAD DAMAGE ACROSS THE COUNTY INCLUDING SNAPPED
TREES AND DOWNED POWER LINES AND POWER POLES. AT THE PEAK, ABOUT
77 PERCENT OF THE COUNTY WAS WITHOUT POWER. HUNDREDS OF HOMES AND
DOZENS OF BUSINESSES WERE ALSO DAMAGED, SOME FROM FALLING TREES.
ONE HOME COLLAPSED WHEN ITS 18FT PILINGS GAVE WAY IN THE WIND.
HOWEVER, INSPECTION OF THE STRUCTURE SUGGESTS THE PILINGS WERE NOT
PROPERLY REINFORCED. THE COUNTY ORDERED MANDATORY EVACUATIONS OF
LOW LYING AREAS NEAR THE COAST AND OPENED SEVERAL SHELTERS. STORM
SURGE FLOODING RESULTED IN HUNDREDS OF ROADS BECOMING IMPASSIBLE
AROUND BAY ST. LOUIS WHERE THE WAVELAND TIDE GAUGE INDICATED A
PEAK WATER LEVEL OF AROUND 8FT MHHW.
HARRISON 2 49 UNK
PORTIONS OF THE COUNTY NEAR THE COAST EXPERIENCED HURRICANE FORCE
WINDS WITH WIND GUSTS NEARING OR EXCEEDING 100 MPH. AWAY FROM THE
COAST MOST PLACES EXPERIENCED SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS
WITH AT LEAST A FEW HURRICANE FORCE WIND GUSTS. THE WINDS CAUSED
WIDESPREAD DAMAGE ACROSS THE COUNTY. THOUSANDS OF HOMES SUFFERED
AT LEAST MINOR DAMAGE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY WITH THE WORST DAMAGE
NEAR THE COAST. IN THAT AREA, NUMEROUS HOMES SUFFERED MODERATE TO
MAJOR DAMAGE, SOME FROM FALLING TREES. ONE INDIRECT FATALITY WAS
THE RESULT OF A MOTORCYCLIST HITTING A LOW HANGING POWER LINE AND
BEING THROWN FROM HIS MOTORCYCLE. STORM SURGE FLOODED PORTIONS OF
US HWY 90/BEACH BOULEVARD AND OTHER LOW LYING AREAS NEAR THE
COAST. WHILE THERE ARE NO OFFICIAL GAUGES ON THE IMMEDIATE COAST
IN HARRISON COUNTY, HIGH WATER MARKS SUGGEST PEAK WATER LEVELS OF
AT LEAST 10 FT NAVD88, THOUGH INUNDATION DEPTHS VARY BY LOCATION.
THE STORM SURGE ALSO RESULTED IN ONE DROWNING DEATH IN BILOXI.
JACKSON 0 9 UNK
SUSTAINED TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS WERE COMMON ACROSS MUCH OF
THE COUNTY, WITH A FEW UNOFFICIAL REPORTS OF HURRICANE FORCE WIND
GUSTS. WIDESPREAD DAMAGE TO TREES AND POWER LINES OCCURRED, WITH
SEVERAL AREAS BECOMING INACCESSIBLE DUE TO DEBRIS. AT LEAST MINOR
DAMAGE WAS REPORTED TO OVER 1000 HOMES, WITH A SEVERAL SUFFERING
MODERATE TO MAJOR DAMAGE, MAINLY AS A RESULT OF FALLING TREES.
STORM SURGE FLOODING AFFECTED COASTAL PORTIONS OF THE COUNTY. A
NOS GAUGE AT PASCAGOULA REPORTED A PEAK WATER LEVEL OF 8.6 FT
MHHW. NEAR OCEAN SPRINGS, A USGS GAUGE RECORDED A PEAK WATER
LEVEL OF 10.88 FT NAVD88 WHICH IS ESTIMATED TO BE BETWEEN 9 AND
10 FT OF INUNDATION AT THAT LOCATION. LEADING UP TO THE STORM,
THE COUNTY ISSUED VOLUNTARY EVACUATION ORDERS FOR LOW LYING AREAS
