What I suggest you do is call up a map of Bay Saint Louis and look where I 10 sits. The individual who just got off FOX has first hand information of his family who lived NORTH of I 10 just had their house flooded up to the ceiling. Look at St. Louis Bay which is behind the finger of Bay Saint Louis and Pass Christian. ALL OF THIS WAS UNDERWATER, I know the area very well and used to keep knowledgeable of water levels since I lived on a sailboat for 2 1/2 years there. I went through Hurricane Elaine in 1985 anchored in the Jordon River (water level dropped in that one). I was in a local storm of only 20 to 30 mph where the dock was covered with water in something as minor as that.

I hope you are correct in your assessment of the situation and I am wrong, but I think I have lost a lot of people I knew there.

I ran across a really interesting book that speaks very well to this disaster: The North Face of God by Ken Gire. He addresses those times when God seems to have abandoned us. He writes about holding onto hope, despite current difficult circumstances.

I can't dispute your pragmatism and knowledge.
Will continue to pray for all involved.
