Hi Antoinette, My realtor's husband (here in MASS) is helping with a website being set up to help people connect with one another. I think he donated the servers. Just north of it? They in Memphis? A newspaper article about a New England couple who rode it out in a hotel that was then evacuated via car said things weren't normal till they hit Memphis.
