Thanks ewest for the report and the offer of help. Katrina cut a path that split my in-laws and pond in T town, and my sis whose home WAS in Gauthier/Ocean Springs right on the coast. She and 3 yr old twin grand daughters are in Ho-Jos just north of I-10. She got the last room there. Good thing, because the Holiday Inn booked up, but the staff bailed out and the Howard J. had to take them in.
Glad to here you have electric in Jax. It is now in Philly, where my mom and other family are. They lost elec. early AM.
Will go to the MEMA web site, all Fox and MSNBC are showing is the roof of the Superdome.
