Hey! *waves at everybody*

We're all okay; we got power back this morning and our water came back on about an hour ago, although we're gonna have to boil it. Our phone is down, and the automated service is predicting Sept 30 before they can get it back on. I don't think it'll be that long, but *shrugs*

We talked to everybody in Jackson and they're all okay with no structural damage. The town is screwed though. Basically everyone is without power and it probably won't be restored for weeks. There was so much damage done there. I haven't seen any fatality estimations yet.

My parents are in Hattiesburg which was hit even harder than Jackson. I haven't been able to get through to them since yesterday. From what I've been able to gather from the news, pretty much the whole town is out of power as well and the damage done was tremendous. I really hope they're okay.

What I'm really worried about is my grandmother and two sets of aunts and uncles who stayed in Gulfport. I can't believe they did that. The words f*cking idiots come to mind. Gulfport is destroyed; the storm surge was bigger than the one with Camille. For those not in the know, Camille is synonymous with Apocaylpse down this way. I have no way of getting in touch with them or knowing if they are okay. It could be days before I do. And even if they are okay, they might have lost everything.

I'm probably not gonna be around much in teh next little while. *hugs y'all*

Oh thank you so much. If you hear anything substantial about Hattiesburg let me know. They're just not saying anything about it on the news.
