Astonishing Exclusive From Mississippi [hundreds if not thousands dead]
Paramedic Rescue Operation | 8-31-05 | My Favorite Headache

Posted on 08/30/2005 10:10:45 PM PDT by My Favorite Headache

It is with heavy heart I write this...

I have finally reconnected with my best friend who is a paramedic who was sent from Georgia 2 days ago to Gulf Port, Mississippi before the hurricane hit.

He just reached me within the last 10 mins via emergency cell phone to tell me he was alive.

Thousands of bodies have been discovered throughout Mississippi in Gulf Port, Waveland,Hancock County,Bay of St.Louis.

They are hanging in trees and they are pulling them out 30 at a time. Entire families found drowned in their homes and washing up on shore.

The stories he could tell me were brief. National Guard is on the scene and arresting anyone seen on the streets.

The numbers are staggering and what I have been told tonight will shake people to their foundation as the numbers will be coming out in the next 24-hours of just how many people have actually perished in these and 3 other beach communities.

More to follow....

Sad, but no real surprise.

You pays your money and you takes your chances.

May the Lord God rest their souls.

Oh, Lord. I pray that this isn't true, but the evidence that is slowing becoming available regarding the scope of the devestation tends to make be believe that the ultimate toll will, indeed, be in the thousands.

I think this is the news people are waiting not to hear... I know that there was speculation that it could be into the several tousands... They said gulfport and biloxi were not at all expect something of this magnitude and the sudden turn just before landfall caught many off guard.

Many prayers for a lost souls tonight.

Please don't ask for personal details as I don't and can't give them...the law of a medic not being allowed to release this kind of info could get him fired possibly.

This is straight from ground zero....one hundred percent.
