I feel for those over in Mississippi and Louisiana. I know what they're going through having gone through Ivan. I'm just glad we didn't get a direct hit here again by another powerful storm. The surge here has been very high and the winds have reached close to Hurricane strength at times. Many in town don't have power here. I'm the fortunate one. My prayers go out to those who lost everything.

By the way, I have family in Harrison County, Miss. and was wondering if anyone has heard any reports from there? They evactuated to here so they are wondering. Thanks
