I am thinking about loading up my dually and a 30 foot trailer with some bottled water and taking it down there and just dropping it off wherever directed near Ocean Springs-Biloxi-Gulfport or futher west if possible.

Do any of ya'll have any thoughts or have communication with anyone who would have an idead as to local logistics below Hattiesburg....I can fuel way north with a 500 mile range in tank.

please ping the list

Love that tagline. My answer to your question is, "No. Dickie Scruggs will not sue himself over the hurricane." :-)

Contact your local Red Cross or Salvation Army chapter. My prediction is that they'll ask you to send money instead -- that was the advice after 9/11. Money is the one thing that's infinitely portable, and will allow them to shift from, say, water to food or medicine as needs and supplies shift.

They have the logistical experience, and the resources of the National Guard for distribution. I understand the impulse to get out and physically do something, but that's not always the most effective way to help.
