SUMMARY: Seven years ago, Hurricane Nate surprised Cruin, making landfall in 2017. Its eye directly passed over the Mississippi Coast, a rare occurrence, last seen with Hurricane George in the 1990s. Although Nate was a Category 1, it caused significant flooding, submerging Highway 90 and affecting local casinos. Presently, Hurricane Milton poses a major threat to Florida, having strengthened to the strongest storm in the Gulf since Rita in 2005. Expected to make landfall as a Category 3, it will bring severe storm surges and wind, affecting areas even inland like Orlando, reminding everyone to take hurricanes seriously, regardless of category.

Milton has its sights set on Florida. A major hurricane landfall is expected by late tomorrow or early Thursday.

SUMMARY: Phase 2 of the Bayou Lacroix Boat Launch improvement project has commenced in Bay St. Louis, following the successful completion of the initial boat ramp a few years ago. This phase includes extending the bulkhead and installing a new kayak launch, enhancing access for kayakers and anglers. The $150,000 project is funded by the Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust, prompted by the need for amenities after Hurricane Katrina. The boat launch, frequently utilized by residents, will facilitate easier access to the Bay of St. Louis and the Jordan River, expected to be completed within four weeks, just in time for summer.
