Sorry for those that have read this already. I had updated on the one I had started already and I think some might have missed it.
I wanted to give a quick update. First of all thank you for your prayers. 2nd, I am sorry for not responding to any posts yet, here is a quick one: Traci, I am so glad the baby is fine; Shannon, BIG ((HUGS)) to you girl things will get better; Wendy, I am so glad your friend is doing fine and we missed you the past couple of days; Mel, I sure hope you get better soon and keep us updated with your DH.
Right now I have a huge headache from crying and worrying, I can not even imagine what my aunt/cousins are going through. No one has heard from her since there is no way to communicate, she had her cell phone with her, but no one can get thru. Yesterday when I posted this I did not know that the heaviest of the storm had not passed bye yet. I was told today that when she talked to her sister, she said that on Sat. the water in her house was up to her ankles, on Sun. the water was up to their waists and that is when she decided she better call someone to rescue them, they were rescued and taken to a local hospital in Biloxi to get checked out but mainly cause her son needs to take his shots/medicine on a daily basis. Now this morning on the news channels that I am sure everyone one of you has watched are saying that Biloxi has been pretty much wiped out (as far as I10) by what they think was a 25ft surge. My cousin lived just a few minutes from the ocean front, near the casinos. My aunt said she heard on the news that one of the hospitals in Biloxi was very damaged, I don't know if this is true just yet. But we are praying to God that she was not taken to that hospital. Now they are saying 100s could be dead there in Biloxi. I can not believe how huge this devistation is from LA to FL and I know they all need our prayers, but if you could also include us finding my cousin and her sons. Her name is Evelyn Burden and her sons names are Adam and Brandon. Thank you so much!

I heard Fox news reporting that there is a website you can search for family members
Olivia, so sorry that your family has to suffer. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you endure such a terrible catastrophe. Please know I will think of you all, and pray especially for the safety of your cousin and her family. Please update whenever you can.
Hugs,

Try calling this number: 1-877-843-5748 . (I hope this is right)
Thank you everyone once again. My aunt and cousins have tried several numbers as well as websites and nothing. A little good news was my cousin that is missing has an older son that is out of state in college and was able to get ahold of one of his friends in Biloxi thru cell phone today. He asked his friend to please try and locate his mom and brothers. He said he would try and would give him an update tomorrow. He said that the block they lived on was pretty much distroyed except their house was still standing. I sure hope her memories (photos,videos,etc) are spared and not all damaged with flood waters. I will give an update once we hear something.
