Well, as most friends and family know. We have a few loved ones that live in Mississippi. Though we had a difficult time staying in touch after the Hurricane, I'm happy to say everyone is doing fine.

I know Mary's parents were without power for about 8 days. Though during their power outage, they were able to receive phone calls,  they couldn't make any outgoing calls. Once they got power, they lost phone service all together.

Slowly things are getting back to normal. They now have phone and electricity and the downed trees in the yard have been removed.

Joshua and Family and Eric are all safe and sound. I know Eric made a trip to the coast and saw the devastation first hand. If those guys choose, I'll let them tell their own tales. The most important thing is that they are all safe and have weathered the storm.
