My mom and dad live in Woodville, just west of Jasper. They are in their 80's and with the phone lines down, we can't get in touch with them. Does anyone have any contact with someone in that area to access damage or conditions? I understand that around 7:00 a.m. the winds were around 100 mph and I am really worried.

Nita Nupress is in Kountze just south of Woodville she said lots of trees down she was on battery so she wont be on much. Check her latest posts. I'll look too just a sec.

Thank you. Wind has died down somewhat and getting light outside. Devastation just unbelievable. This house used to have solid woods in back behind lot... now looks like it's been clearcut by timber company. Huge trees everywhere either down by their roots or split in half and hanging onto themselves like broken toothpicks. Someone here works for electric company and heard them mumble, "We'll be weeks before we get power back." Ugh.

Signing off to save battery. Wind kicking up again. Please continue praying. We feel it and thank you very much.

Try not to imagine the worst, it may just power and phone outage. There will always be neighbors there, too, right?

I have family from the Woodville area. My grandparents lived there. (They are passed away now.) I'm distantly related to lots of people in the area, the Barclays.

If you have any information about Woodville, I'd appreciate it.

I'll say a prayer for your parents.
