Not sure if this will be any help but saw this number on OT to call - 225-456-7833... that is for someone with a high water recovery unit that can go to about 7 ft deep. Praying for your parents

Central is basically an island now. I have a good friend that lives off Wax by Demco. They can't get out and may end up at Zoar. I wish they could come here but there is no way into SW miss

My parents are stranded in Evergreen hills. Their house had never flooded before.
Step dad has MS and is confined to a wheelchair. No help yet.
PLEASE CALL FOR HELP. (I'm sure you have but this is breaking my heart)

Thanks guys. I was able to reach the central fire dept. so hopefully they can get to them.
The "mailbox is full" for the high water rescue number.

Between your situation and LouisianaLadys parents (in the OT thread) my heart is breaking. LL said that her parents friends got out (which I'm thankful) but their 2 dogs drowned.

I'm a woman and if they go they're just plain f'ing dumb and stupid and ignorant and inconsiderate. That's all I got. Hwy 90 is CLOSED in MANY MANY SPOTS.

FYI hwy 22 over the Diversion Canal is still open

61 north is closed at Thompson creek so Natchez is a no go.

New river projections put the Amite river at 8.5'. That is 4.5' higher than the current level and at the top of the pineapples.

will let everyone know if they make it through or if they have to turn back at some point...
