Thank you for this heart warming story! I was afraid that I would not hear the end of the story and would forever wonder what happened. I do believe in miracles!!

Earlier today, I posted information re my daughter Skye, her husband and baby caught in the great hurricane that flattened their little town of Long Beach Mississippi. Miracles still happen ... I'm happy to report that Chris drove to Long Beach today and found that their 4 bedroom house is still standing and their dog is alive, but he couldn't find the 14-yr old cat. The only damage to their house was that two rooms are completely flooded....even their brand new ford truck remained undamaged. However, the house across the street wasn't so lucky...it was completely flattened. My kids will be staying in Grove Hill Alabama where a kind sole has offered them an apartment, rent free, and the local Baptist church is donating furniture, clothing and toys.... What a contrast to the misery in New Orleans Shirley HAAS Hulett On Thu, 1 Sep 2005 19:24:32 -0700 shirley hulett writes: > I know this is not gen related but thought I could add to the > Hurrican info. > There are many sources of information...re mississippi, at least > sunherald.com eyesonkatrina.com (the local neswpaper's blog) > Wlox tv website...with links to search for survivors. > My daughter Skye, son-in-law Chris, and baby granddaughter, Jordan, > live in Long Beach Ms (between Pass Christiane & Gulfport) where he > is a CB with the US Navy.
