On the ground report … as of 1:30 p.m.

Everyone in MS seems fine at this point.  No major storm surge.  Tornado warnings are biggest concern.
 
Spoke with people in New Orleans.  The levies are holding so far.  Winds were not as rough there as eye was to the SW.
 
We lost contact with our folks in Houma, LA as of about 10:30AM.  They had lost some siding and had a hole in their roof at that time.  Pray for their safety.  Will update when we make contact. At this point that is the area we think we will be providing initial response.
 
Our initial response team and equipment made it to Enterprise, AL and are awaiting clearance to head on to MS today.  The winds are still upwards of 50 MPH in MS and too strong for them to travel safely at this point.
