    A dam in southern Mississippi expected to fail, adding another 6-8 feet of water to the Tangipahoa River.

    I heard many stories of that as a boy.
    Floodwaters almost overtopped the dam.
    Caskets were washing away by the dozens and skeletal remains were found on roofs.

    Hurricane Agnes played one of the biggest roles in killing off the Eastern railroads. Lots of trestles were damaged and it was the tipping point for many to go out of business, leading to the formation of Conrail.

    NHC showed a little sense of humor over the weekend.

    EDIT: Oooh, I see we have an Omar on tap for 2014. I'm sure fans of The Wire will tune into the Weather Channel for that one
