Shit is Bad

Aug 30, 2005 22:14

I've gotten scattered, sporadic reports from people. I heard there was a tornadoon east beach, but most of the houses there are gone. My parent's house is still standing, but supposedly its totaled. Shearwater is gone, along with my great aunt Sara's house. my dad's boat is on the inner harbor bridge. The storm surge was high enough that the people living in my grandparents' house had to swim into my parents' house and ride out the rest of the storm and a friend of my dad's who lives on front beach near the Pres. church had to cut through his roof to get out. The Biloxi bridge is gone and Cingular doesn't know when they'll be able to get towers functioning again.
I haven't been able to get through to anyone in Hattiesburg, so if anyone knows Crystal and Nick's new address, let me know soon.
I'm in WV now, but I'm leaving in the morning. I have to go down there. If I sit here any longer, I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. I have a list of the closed roads and I'm going to try to make it through.
Wish me luck.
