Here is a sister's report from her brother who was dispatched to Gulfport 2 days ago.

Just an update. We finally heard from Steve. He's tired & hungry. He didn't get to eat yesterday and hadn't eaten as of 6:00 this evening. He said there's no time as there's just so much to do. They were going to stop & eat within the hour. There are no hotels for them there, they're sleeping on the sidewalk. He said that he had tagged 40 bodies today. He seemed to think that the media was holding back on the death toll big time. I truly hope they have some sort of counseling for these search & rescue guys after this is all over with.

Tomorrow's mission for them is to go from basement to attic in every standing home, business, shed, etc. and pull out bodies
