We have had several large trees down and roof damage ourselves. Neighbors are reporting the same type of damage. The wind has not slacked up much and we have several large trees leaning. Our driveway and road are blocked.

Thanks so much for the online coverage. I grew up in Wayne County but am now in Rockville Md. Still have family in that area and have been quite concerned with the situation down there. Our hearts and prayers go out to you all.
Is there any way to "hear" from anyone in the Bailey Community...we have parents there and not sure how they are doing?

My family lives in DeKalb Mississippi in the Little Rock Community. They too are without power and trees are down. Do you have any idea as to when power will be restored and when repair crews will be able to get in? My prayers are with you
My parents live out on Hwy 19 South in Meridian, MS. I am very worried about them, since we have not heard from them since late yesterday evening. Also, I have other family members and friends spread out all over the Meridian and Jackson area. I am currently in Northwest Florida, where we experienced some damage, but nothing near what happened in LA, MS, and AL. All of you are in my prayers. If anyone knows anything about the Hwy 19 South in Meridian area,please update us.
Any ideas on when phone (wired and cellular services) might be restored? I'm in Georgia trying to contact local relatives in the Meridian area.
Does anyone know the extent of damage in Lauderdale? We have relatives there we are unable to contact......
Concerned in Georgia
I go to school at MCC, but I live in Tupelo. I have been trying to contact someone or anyone to find out if it was safe to come back to school. If anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated.

What is the extent of the damages in the Union (Newton county) area? Anyone that knows, please respond.
I live in Little Rock, AR and I have family in Vicksburg and Meridian. I have been trying to get contact of anyone and there is nothing on the interent that tells me what is going on in those areas. Does anyone one what is going on and the damage?

The damage is extensive in the north hills area, they are saying that power could be out, between 3 days and 3 weeks. I have not heard on MCC, but my guess is it will not re-open for a couple of days.
My mother lives in Meridian on 31st street right off of Poplar Springs Rd. Have not heard from her and can't get through on the phone. I'm her daughter in FL. 31st St. is close to the high school there. Anyone know the extent of damage and if power has been out? She relies on a nebulizer for emphysema and has no generator. She's also legally blind and lives alone. If anyone has any info, please let me know. Thanks...

HEY...
What is your mother's address??? I am in the process of trying to arrange some help for her.

I am trying to get any info on Wiggins, I live in AZ and my mom is in Arkansas until she can return..any info? Thanks
Josh Johnson,
She lives at 2719 31st Street. Phones ring and ring but no answer. She has a lady that comes and helps her and I tried her cell phone but it goes straight to voice mail. I left a message, but I'm sure she's not able to know she has a message if the cell systems are jammed. I'm in Daytona Beach, FL and we couldn't call out on cell phones for 2-3 days after Charley or Frances.
Thank you for your quick response.

We have family in Jones County, in the Sharon Community. Can anyone give us any information on the damage there?
Thanks
I posted the last blog on Wiggins info...I am also trying to get in touch with my cousin in Gulfport. She works for Sheriff Payne in Harrison Co. I am in touch with her mom. All cell phone, official web sites are down in that area...
I just recently relocated to Columbus, MS about two weeks ago. from my hometown Meridian. I wish I was there with you all my family and friends are there. Trying to reach anyone on Monday was nerve racking I could not get through. But thanking God late last night I was able to reach one relative by cell phone. And today I talked to another relative. I found out everyone is doing good but still without power today at 5pm in the area of 3900 block and 10th st and 1100 block and 46th ave. My prayers are with my family and friends that they will soon have lights and are able to get water and food. And my prayers are with everyone in Meridian. I love you all and miss you all. Hope to see you all soon!
We have family in Meridian,17th ave, Reece court apts, Harper rd, living out in Marion, Laud-Toomsuba rd in Lauderdale, Kemper cty etc. We have called and can't get through. We pray that everyone is blessed. Luv from Allenhurst GA. Call when you can or e-mail.
Is the power still out all around town? I have been trying to get in contact with some people and have been unable to. We are praying for everyone in meridian and hope that the power will be back on by tomorrow.
does anyone know if mcc is open on wednesday? and is there power on north hills street?
I have family living in the Kemper Springs section of Kemper county just north of the navy base. We have been calling since last night and can't get through, can anyone tell me if they have power or the extent of the damage? I live in Chicago and have no way of checking on them. Thank You.
Hey...
Power is out across almost every county in our area. Cell phone communications are spotty at best. Power crews are working hard to restore things - but it may take a while. Remember, they have to basically rebuild the entire power infrastructure. Hope that helps - wish I could provide more info...
Anyone know how the Agri-Center faired? I have friends down there. Hope all are safe and for speedy recovery!

Hello everyone. I have family out at NAS, (wife and 3 children), and I am deployed in support of GWOT. Any update on how things are there, and around the entire Lauderdale area would be greatly appreciated. God Bless you all.
There should be a live feed or up to date info for military members stationed over seas. I am from Philadelphia and am haveing trouble finding info about home.
Does anyone have any info on the Rose Hill/Fellowship area in Jasper county south of Meridian? My parents live in that area and I have not been able to reach them since Monday. Are the roads in that area passable so we could bring them food and water from the atlanta area. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Our prayers are with you all.
Hey,
Rose Hill/Jasper County is still mostly unpassable...too many trees blocking roads...
The last I heard, NAS was doing fine. Power was out in most of Lauderdale County, and many roads are barely passable. Phone communications remain tenuous at best.
I LIVE IN KANSAS AND HAVE NOT HEARD FROM FAMILY IN UNION. WHAT IS THE DAMAGE IN THAT AREA? I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CALL AND TRIED THE PHILADELPHIA PAPER, NO NEWS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
