Tom and I left our home in Fair Oaks Ranch (Texas Hill Country) on 1 September in his truck loaded with food, water, the emergency generator from my orchid house, a chain saw with extra blades, 17 gallons of gas, and a Coleman stove and headed for Hattiesburg. We had heard from her son-in-law that Linnie (Mower) and Jack Garner outside Hattiesburg on the Jackson highway, had a tree down on their home, no electricity or water, and that food was running low. Having to take the northern route, we reached them on the afternoon of the 2nd. We stayed the week, and by the time we left they were in pretty good shape, with one drive to the house cleared, ample food supplies, and ahead on boiled water. They were luckier than most, so we are all grateful, and Tom and I are glad to be back home.
a p.s. from later in the day:
I just talked with Linnie, and the electricity came back on this afternoon (crews from Michigan!) and the tree was coming off the house as we spoke. They will contact their water company tomorrow about the potability of their water. Hattiesburg water is OK, but they're not on that system. Linnie sounded positively ecstatic just now, so all is well. Sara
