Re: News of Ocean Springs, Ms

wanted to pass along some limited info about ocean springs- my family has been able to get through to some of our relatives who waited out the storm. My aunt lives in the 8700 block of neptune and says only five houses are standing on her street, hers one of them (is wondering if tornadoes that followed are to blame?) she is now gathering photos, etc, and cleaning them up ... putting them on her porch to hopefully reunite with owners. she says it's pretty bad... but my grandparents and another aunt live on 1300 block of parktown drive and for the most part, she says, everything there is fine, just some tree damage, etc. finally, my cousin lives on balboa circle, which as i understand, is pretty close to the water, and in that general area things seem to be okay, too. we are just so thankful my grandparents evacuated ahead of the storm- and everyone who stayed is alive. i, too, have been frustrated by lack of ground pics out of the city- and can only guess that transportation in and out is still bad. i believe my aunt got power back on today... phones are spotty.
