I know I haven't posted in ages, but wanted to say, on behalf of all on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, thanks for all your support. You can't imagine how much support means right now. Everything from prayers to donations is very much appreciated!
GD Ella, glad to hear you made it through. I spent the storm up at a friend's house (who was 8 months pregnant) on the Gpt/Lyman boarder. Her hubby and I kept wondering how the heck to get her to Keesler is she went into pre-term labor. As is she didn't, thank God! Hope I never have to go through that again. And I hope the next time I see Hwy 90 it's in better shape than it is now. I made the mistake of going down and walking around the day after. It was so horrible I couldn't even cry, although I wanted to. But things are getting better -- electricity, water (boil-only), and gas are all back. And the restaurants are opening back up. Come back for a vist in a few years, and although it won't be the Coast we once knew, I bet it will be back with a vengence.
Thanks again for the support everyone!
