We still have power and phone service at 9:55 am in Ocean Springs, MS. We are north of Hwy 90 and do not know about nearer the beach. As was just reported on WLOX, water is over Hwy 90 West of Keesler AFB near the old St. Charles Apartment complex. We have been told to expect about 4 to 6 more hours of wind and gusts up to around 50 mph.
Our two-story house is really "feeling" the wind upstairs. Surrounding houses are one story and afford no protection from the wind.
We will be attempting to contact others in the area who we know have remained for conditions in their neighborhood.
