I just found out from the Emergency Management agency in Petal, MS that the town that my folks live in is gone. They told me that they were hit as hard as Biloxi & Gulfport and that the extent of the damage was the same, but without the water.

My family has been struggling to find an outlet for communications since the mainstream media is being strangely silent on the full extent of the horrific damage that has occurred inland.

Does anybody know if there are any forums out there that one can go to in order to get emergency information on a specific town?

My siblings have informed me that it may be possible that my Sister and Parents may have tried to ride the storm out in assuming that they would not be affected so far inland.

We are getting extremely concerned about their well being and whereabouts at this point as we are becoming more and more stressed with each passing hour without having access to any information.

Can anyone offer information that can help us to get closer to Petal Mississippi?

We would appreciate it more than you know.
