Trying to get family out of Gulfport
08/31/2005 | MM2MM2

Please help if you can. I am in GA and I am trying to get a family marooned in a furniture warehouse in Gulfport, MS out. I am having trouble finding which roads are open.

I believe 49 is still closed. Of course the shore roads will be.

I have lost contact with my parents, who lived next to the Armed Forces Retirement Home. I will probably be attempting to drive from GA to Gulfport next week. If I-10 and 49 are closed I'll be needing some navigation advice myself.

Not too many people driving those roads recently with electricity and internet conncections.

I also have family there, so I offer my prayer's and I hope they return to safe and healthy.

Last night, I was listening to a network of radio stations reporting road conditions, gasoline availability, etc. on the Gulf Coast. Here is the link for streaming audio -
