Just got a phone call from Mom in Hattiesburg, it is the middle of the night there so it was the first time she was able to get a line out. Like the rest of us she does not have much information, no electricity, so no TV. They do have WWL radio. I passed along Dad’s suggestion to call the Sheriff’s office and identify herself as a sitting Judge and try and get some detailed information.
Janine told her that St. Tammany was still closed, but I am not sure that is correct. They have a generator that is keeping the refrig/freezer running and a gas grill. I told her not to go out to buy ice because I just read a story that a brother shot his sister in the head in Hattiesburg over a bag of ice. They have a limited amount of gas in the car so they are afraid to try and get home and then get turned around. I am actually surprised JL has stayed put this long.
