Can anyone help?
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.

Don, try craigslist.org
and go to Missisippi
maybe there is a listing of survivors from shelters and such.
I hope they are ok, it's still early and I am sure the chaos isn't helping any.
be positive, we'll pray for you also.
also try google put in forums survivors hurricane katrina  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Don,
I work with a woman who husband is attached to a DMAT group.He said it may take a while (10 tp 14 days)to get all the names of the people that are misplaced or out of contact with loved ones.
You may want to try their web sites. Sorry i know this dosen't help much. Thought and prayers .
Jeff

Bliz - Let me know if you can find one. We have freinds (my wife works with) in Gulfport before the storm and have not heard of anything at all.

What a tragedy!
May God Bless all the people who have to suffer such a tragedy. 7000 National Guards are being deployed to aid victims of Katrina. Is 7000 enough? I don't think so... Why aren't more effort being put in aid and recovery of New Orleans? Well it's simple, no funds. 42% of flood funds were cut in 2001. Where do you think the funds went? Take a guess...
So what do you think of Bush now?
