My just younger sister, Joanne, rode the storm out in the courthouse in Pascagoula, where she works. We haven't heard from our baby sister, but when Joanne went by to check on her before the storm, her car was gone. We hope she went up to H'burg or to Jackson, where her middle son lives. Both H'burg and Jackson have spotty phone coverage, so she may not have been able to call anyone to say she's ok.

My older brother Mike, and his wife Pat rode the storm out in their home in Bay St. Louis. They didn't want to leave because her Mom is in a nursing home, and her brother is in an Assisted Living facility in the area. When it was over, they had a structure, but it was gutted. They are thankful to be alive. My sister Brenda, and her huband Martin had a cute cottage on the water in Ocean Springs. When Joanne went by to check on it during the week, she discovered it was just gone. They had evacuated to H'burg, with their daughter and her family, who had come from New Orleans. No one has been able to reach them to let them know, yet. Natalie does know by now that they can't go back home to N.O.. I can't even imagine how lost her little girls feel, much less their Mama and Daddy!

But everyone is alive, so we are Blessed beyond words!
