In Mississippi, we have a word for this vague landmass "between New Orleans and Mobile." It's "Mississippi." cc: @CC_Yale

Sally is going to "approach the coast between Louisiana and Alabama," according to Bloomberg.

What coast is that, Bloomberg? đŸ€”
And yep, Katrina made landfall in Mississippi, bringing a 28-foot storm surge that swept many out to sea and killed hundreds of Mississippians. Most deaths in New Orleans resulted from the failure of the levee system. https://twitter.com/ChivoWhisperer/status/1305247024082812928
Y'all, there is an "official" FB page for "The Landmass Between NOLA and Mobile" and my post made it on there. 😂

Another one! It is hitting MISSISSIPPI you fools.

Apparently the only way for our state's name to get mentioned is for one of us to do something super racist.
Meanwhile, USA Today has gifted us with... Alabama.

So I guess that make Mobile Mississippi now. https://twitter.com/usatoday/status/1305559943232262144
FYI, here's how to write a tweet/headline about a hurricane hitting Mississippi: https://twitter.com/ashtonpittman/status/1305592890907856904

Twitter is now mocking me.
FFS, Mississippi has a name! I'm not shocked that @nytimes is doing this, too, but really—can y'all stop disrespecting Mississippi—which, I'll remind you, has more Black elected officials per capita than any other state.

Y'all know our name when it's a story about racism. https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1305561974445608961
"Louisiana to the Panhandle" is a new one (he did correct himself after being admonished, though!). https://twitter.com/msfishon/status/1305717653168893952
