UPDATE***
Just got off the phone with my friend. He called me from a different number apparently something happened with his other cell phone.
They are now packing their ambulance and heading back to Georgia as they have been there 4 days with next to no sleep.
He said they were tagging bodies in the water that were laying face down...by the hundreds in the water alone. Then they were doing one stripe-two stripe spray paint marks on homes. To code whether there were bodies inside or not inside.
He said water came in as high as 8 feet 2 miles inland at a high school that was being used as a shelter and in the gym people were climbing bleachers trying to get to the roof. A middle school in Gulf Port had their roof blown right off during the first 2 hrs of the storm and over 150 were injured but thankfully not killed there.
He again...said thousands are dead...DID NOT RETRACT...I asked AGAIN...would you say 1,000? 2,000? He said...thousands..plural. The bodies are being picked up and transferred boat to boat to be brought back to shore.
He simply could not believe the destruction and chaos of the area and they decided to call it quits and drive back to their home base in Ga.
This will be the final update from this area from me regarding this source.
I did ask if he thought the media might do a cover up on this and he said he didn't know but that it would be very hard to hide these facts since so many people are present in the operations.
It appears the National Guard is moving in more and more to help.
Thanks for the update, however grim it is.
Everywhere I've seen in Mississippi there's no water whatsoever...what "shore" are they being brought back to?
Thankyou for the update.
Thank you MFH, it will all come out soon enough. Tell your friend to not let it get to him.
We appreciate your reporting.
Thanks for the report. There will be no cover up, as there was none with Andrew...
Thanks, this matches everything I have picked up about that area.
Eternal Rest, Grant unto them, O, Lord. May they rest in Peace. Amen.
Have you let any media friends know the general area where he was so we can get some journalists there?
We need reporters on scene. I believe him, and we can't let this be ignored.
Thanks for the update. Now we'll wait to see if his reporting was indeed accurate.
