I go to school in Hattiesburg, which is just north of the base. Our RA came around this morning and informed us that classes have been canceled, and that we should probably evacuate if we could. I came back home- home being about forty-five minutes north. They're saying H'burg could have 110 mile an hour winds. I'm afraid South Mississippi's going to get hammered hard. I-59 was thick with traffic; every gas station I passed had lines.

Thanks for the information.

He just called! They are staying put but battening down the hatches. They will be staying in one-story concrete barracks for the duration.

They have been ordered to fill rucksacks with 3 days worth of stuff for possibile mobilization to aid civilians in the area, up to & including medical care (he's a medic.)

We just bought a puppy from a breeder from South Mississippi. I just checked their website and they just had new puppies Aug. 24th. My prayers for all of you.

Thanks for thinking of this, Howlin.
