William headed back to the coast today. Friends have called and said they could see part of his (new, only owned it for like a week) house, and the part they can see is... well, still standing. No idea what he's really going to find when he gets there. His parents were in Georgia, but no word on their house. Pass Christian was supposed to be hardest hit...
Willima took food, gas, candles, a generator, water, an axe and a saw (among other emergancy supplies). He's hoping to find his house in good enough shape to stay in while he helps friends and family find what's left of their houses.
Here in Starkville, we have power. And water. But the stores are out of everything survivalwise. It got bad for awhile, but most of the damage here was due to downed trees. And power surges... Chad's computer (which was just fixed) died (even behind an APC UPS), and the Media Center might have died, too (even unplugged!). Overall, not too bad, and at least we have insurance.
We might be looking for a way to get down to the coast this weekend, and take Chad's truck full of supplies. Not sure we're going to be able to make it work, but we are going to try... I think we'd be there now if we didn't have to teach the rest of the week.
This is my brain..... in part, at least.
