Tropical systems bring straight-line winds and torrential rains that often causes the risk of hydroplaning, and even on our bridges sometimes, vehicles with high sides like a tractor-trailer or a U-Haul trailer are sometimes blown over. As far as icy roads, Biloxi is lucky in that regard as they are not as much of an issue, but that makes them even more dangerous when they do occur.
People need to realize that people in the south are not used to driving on icy streets, and it makes them all the more dangerous.
