Per CNN: still no information whatsoever from any of the towns located on the Missisippi barrier islands (Bay St. Louis, Pass Christian, etc.). Personally, I think that's the same for Grand Isle, LA. I had heard that 7 people were to ride it out there.
Whoops - now here's a reporter from Bay St. Louis. Severe devastation, no power, Coast Guard copter present. Too much info to type. People described as war refugees. I don't think he mentioned anything about caualties, but there are survivors, for sure.
Have a friend in Ocean Springs, MS. She had gotten out, but now plans on going back. Any word on that place?
