Hey.
This hurricane sucks, I know. BUt if you're from the northshore then listen up...
I'm in Greenwood, Ms right now but my family & I are leaving EARLY in the morning to go back to Mandeville. We've had a neighbor call us & say that he was able to get into town to check on his house(he was staying at his daughter's apt in BR). He's driven from there to Mville to Picayune, back to Mville & then back to BR. He has said that there isn't much damage unless you're one of the unlucky few to have a tree fall through your house. Also, if you live near the lake then you probably have some flooding. Other than that the main damages are shingles missing from rooves, fences torn apart, & my screened-in patio in my backyard has fallen apart. When I get there tomorow we're checking out the house more closely, gathering some clothes, cleaning out the fridge & heading out to Houston, Tx where my grandmother lives. I'm gonna check on Bailey, Mel, & Ren's houses...those are all I can get to. There's still no power there & probably wont be for at least two weeks. I'll update again whenever the next time I get computer access is & I'll let you all know what everything looked like.
I hope you all are okay & your families & friends, as well.
:-/
BTW. I don't know about you guys but I'm going NUTS without my friends & especially Scott. I missed a call from Renee today & when I listened to her voicemail I broke out in tears. Same thing happened when I listened to Scott's. I've been able to text Mel back & forth & even got through to her & chatted for 30 minutes. ::sigh::
