My son is in the WI National Guard and is currently stationed at Camp Shelby, MS for overseas training. If anyone hears anything about Camp Shelby I would surely appreciate it if you would let me know. I can't get ahold of him; all I know is that they are battening down and staying put.
I go to school in Hattiesburg, which is just north of the base. Our RA came around this morning and informed us that classes have been canceled, and that we should probably evacuate if we could. I came back home- home being about forty-five minutes north. They're saying H'burg could have 110 mile an hour winds. I'm afraid South Mississippi's going to get hammered hard. I-59 was thick with traffic; every gas station I passed had lines.
