MORE ON KATRINA

Here's a link to a Hattiesburg American article from midday Monday.

Sa just spoke to Annette to let her and the kids know that Dan is safe and will fly into B'ham tonight.

We just got through to Mom and Dad via a neighbor's cell phone. (They're in the same shelter). He said that the downed trees and power lines were so bad that they couldn't get out to check on the horses and other animals at the farm. From what they said, the storm was worse than Camille, and they guess it will be weeks before the town has full power. That sounds like an exaggeration, but then, I'm not seeing what they can see. They said the amount of downed trees is mind-blowing and that Purvis/Hattiesburg were hit severely. They said that all the buildings near the church building were severely damaged.
