Phone home

I spent part of my morning with a family from our church. This family has a relative in town (grandma) from Mississippi. Her town was hit with the hurricane today for most of the morning. I went over to assist them in communicating to the family back home. I helped them gather information online about the current conditions. The grandfather (her husband) is a retired naval meteorologist and was locked and boarded up inside of their home. We relayed information all morning so he could get information to the family and neighbors.

At around 1pm the news crew came (the family knows a former reporter). They wrote a short story and interviewed the out of town guest.

Here is the story.
