My Grandmother flew out from Gulfport, MS the day before the hurricane hit luckily, while my Uncle stayed behind to work at Memorial Hospital. The house they lived in was within a couple miles off the coast and needless to say was under ~7 feet of water when he visited it the day after. All they’re belongings (cars, clothes, etc.) are ruined and everything gone except for what they have on them now. The house will be unlivable and everything. A couple days ago, we filed the claim with their insurance, but it’ll be months before they have a house again.
My Uncle said Memorial Hospital had windows blown out all over the place and water reached the second floor. Emergency power was gone after a couple days and there is no phone service other than cell phones, which are sporadic at best. At this point we are waiting for the hospital to release him from work so we can attempt to bring him here with us. He said “The whole coast looks like a bomb hit it. It’s worst than Camille by a long shot.”
Anyway, its sad for them as they have lived in that house for a very long time (through Camille and everything). I just hope we can go pick him up somehow and get him here with us soon.
