The dispatch is telling everyone to watch out. Mississippi Power is not generating power right now, but high levels of electricity are resident in the line in something called "backfeed."
There are also reports of gas leaks near downed power lines. Someone just reported in yelling about needing to sift through the debris and there have been several calls of "signal 25,"meaning dead bodies. Someone just called asking if a rescue team was needed.
It sounds pretty bad out there.
If you are reading this outside of the coastal counties of Mississippi and are considering coming back, just hold on. They probably won't let you through.
Mark, the Reuters photog who camped out last night, just came back from a scouting mission.
He said there is no city of Gulfport anymore.
