Jim talked to his sister Carla today. It was a miracle that the phone worked. They do not have any power, of course. And she can not get out of her neighborhood. She said that her neighbor was killed when a tree fell on him. Scary! But it sounds like her family is safe. Thank God.
However, we still have not heard from Jim's Mom, Sister, and Brother. His mom and sister are not too far from Carla, but they are out in the country. And Carla has not heard from them at all either. So that means that they can not get out either. We are really praying hard that they are alright. There is a curfew there and I guess nobody is going anywhere.
Jim's brother Bill was in the Gulfport area where it was really hit hard. Of course no communication at all from him.
This is just so terrible. I can't believe the images on the tv. We were just there in April and now the area is just devastated. Jim is about ready to get in his car and start driving East to help his family. I just hope that all of them are safe and sound and it is just a matter of time when we hear from them.
Terrible!

It's amazing that we live in this world with amazing technological advances and it can all be erased by one big storm. The devastation is mind blowing.
My prayers are with you during this time. I am hoping for the best and that before long everyone will be reunited!
