I don't know too much about that area right now,I live in Biloxi and the officials prefer that we don't try to "sightsee" too much so as not to get in the way of emergency workers and MS Power and all. I heard that Ingalls had some damage,I don't know the extent,and that the I-10 bridge over there was damaged.Again,this is hearsay. I do know that the Ocean Springs/Biloxi bridge was demolished,and that the Popps Ferry bridge was damaged.Hwy 90 is demolished almost the length of the Coast.It's really weird-where you CAN see any road,it's twisted and buckled like a roller coaster.

WLOX, the local station,has a website that's pretty informational,and there's the Sun Herald site also.I wish I could tell you more. It was weird,for a while there,the first couple of days after the hurricane,we knew that the outside world had more info on the situation and the big picture than we here did,due to lack of power,all the TV and radio stations being down,no phones,no cell phone coverage,etc.It was kind of frustrating. But we in my neighborhood got all our meat out of the freezers and had a big communal barbecue,and most of us had generators,and whoever didn't stayed with whoever did. My husband had put a small window unit AC in my bathroom a couple of months earlier,even though we have central,and boy did I say "told you so",LOL,when it was VERY useful at that time. Things were really surreal.

Thank you for the information about your area. I have been watching for any news. I will look for that WLOX website and the Sun Herald website. Sounds like you had quite a time there but I am glad you are OK now.
