Hurricane Katrina is weakening but still packing a punch as she heads northward over East Central Mississippi. Katrina will be downgraded to a tropical storm on the next advisory package. It is also expected to begin a more north northeast track that will carry it just north of the Northwest Corner of Alabama overnight.

Katrina is bearing down on the Starkville, MS area. Winds are gusting to near 50mph and trees are starting to weaken and fall on nearby roadways. Power is still on here, but I don't know how long that is going to last. Classes are cancelled until noon tomorrow. I will give more updates here in the comments if I can later on.
