Help with News

Does anyone have any family in the area of Biloxi/Pascagoula/Gautier, Mississippi? Any word yet? My son is in Gautier, MS and I have been unable to get in touch with him. Of course all phones are not working or signals are scarce. I haven't spoken with him since Saturday. I've seen the news coverage. It's devastating. I'm hoping to hear soon. Being so far away is just making it worse for me. If anyone has family in any of the Gulf Coast areas, please let us know how things are going. TIA

We have family in Clinton, MS, and apparently they had alot of wind and rain and alot of fallen trees. The pictures on the news don't look good for Biloxi. I hope that your son got out of there before the hurricane hit. Best of luck to you!

Lily, please know that my family and friends are all praying for your family and all the people involved in this situation. I've never seen such devastation, and I remember the one in 1969.
