Has anyone heard about the northern part of Diamondhead? My mother lives in that community and they rode the storm out. We still haven't heard from her.
Welcome to FR. I will pray for your mother, and please let us know when you hear something. And I will be right back with some links to local #'s you can call.
DIAMONDHEAD NEWS:
A large gas tank blocks the road on Interstate 10 near Diamondhead, Miss., Monday, Aug. 29, 2005, as travelers attempt to dodge road debris from Hurricane Katrina. Several roads and highways in south Mississippi were engulfed by water, and trees snapped as far north as Jackson.
Picture shows I10 at exit 16 going to Diamondhead. Overpass is ok, all signs appear to be up and looking pretty good...not twisted or knocked over. Small debris and gas tank (looks like it fits on the back of a semi) on East bound lane. Some cars and trucks are on the interstate.
I wish I knew when this picture was taken. However, I am much more optomistic now.

I know someone who has relatives in the northern part of Diamondhead at one of the highest places there. They managed to use a landline phone to get a message out yesterday that their trees and fences were down, power was out, and they were living in a war zone but with a half-full pool were getting by.
