Since we've been getting a lot of emails from all over asking about Amanda's family, let me take a quick minute to give an update:
The family in Long Beach and Biloxi-- Grandma, Aunt Martha, cousins Melinda and Adam and family are all reported to be safe, though we're afraid that, like so many down there, they have lost everything.
Still no word, however, on her Great Cousins Ruth and Jackie in Metairie, outside New Orleans. Given their age and what happened to Metairie, we can only hope that they made it to shelter in time. But there's not much hope of getting word from that area for quite some time...
Needless to say, we've been praying for all of them up here non-stop since last weekend..

I think Melinda & Adam's house must be mostly intact, because that's where everyone congregated, and I've heard that their cars all were undamaged. Long Beach is devastated, but Grandma's house is at least on the one of the higher lots in her neighborhood, so maybe flooding was minimized.
Ross still didn't have power as of yesterday afternoon, but some friends nearby did. Meridian is, as far as I know, still under a 7pm-7am curfew.
