No flooding, power outages, no deaths in the city have been reported. Winds only got to around 70 here. I took a drive around and I have seen more damage from a bad thunderstorm than what we have now. We were very lucky and thank you to the kind people who sent pm's of concern for me. I will be going to the aorport tonight to get help get the hangar ready for flights to resume whenever. The people to the east of me didnt fare as well from what I hear.

spidermonky 0 #164 August 30, 2005 I walked down to the world's fair park earlier. I needed to get out and stop watching 2 blogs, a video stream, and websites of weather news at the same time. I sat on a park bench and cried. The homeless people stared at me. I like feeling the rain, I know she is wet too from the same storm and it makes me feel closer.

BillyVance 34 #166 August 30, 2005 QuoteWDSU.com just announced 50 confirmed dead in MS gulf region. A large portion of those deaths were reported in one apartment complex. Not sure exactly where though. This hurricane produced some of the highest storm surges in recent memory - a peak of 22 feet, along the Gulfport coastline. We can only be thankful it didn't come ashore as a category 5 hurricane. It was down to 3 at landfall on the MS coast, but it was still one of the worst in intensity for the MS coast, most definitely the worst since Camille in 1969. Mobile, AL was hit hard by flooding and storm surge of about 13 feet. Geez... I guess I can't expect the beachfront cabin that my family rents every year on the Ft. Morgan peninsula to still be standing or be repairable...

fallingchip 0 #168 August 30, 2005 Quote Mobile, AL was hit hard by flooding and storm surge of about 13 feet. Last I heard (few hours ago) was that the causeway/bridge over the Mobile Bay was completely under water. The water may have receded since then. Have you heard this as well? My dad is in Mobile and I can't reach him.______________________________________________ "A radical man is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fallingchip 0 #171 August 30, 2005 The article doesn't say. It just says 50 died in an apartment complex in Biloxi. My guess is a unit or units washed away and collapsed.______________________________________________ "A radical man is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zennie 0 #173 August 30, 2005 Don't lose the faith Bill. Things are REALLY chatoic when this sort of thing happens. Power out, cell communications flooded or down. Chances are more than good that your friends are fine. It's just that they can't get word out. Oh, and don't forget that they may have burnt out their cell phone batteries just communicating with family.

fallingchip 0 #174 August 30, 2005 The only waterfront apartments in Ocean Spring I can remember is not far from my grandparents and one aunts house. They didn't say anything about buildings being washed away. Just flood damage and tree damage. I belelive they will be fine.______________________________________________ "A radical man is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
