Need Information on Moss Point if available

[Alabama Skys]

My Grandmother lives in a mobile home in Moss Point and wouldn't leave. We can't get in touch with her. If anyone has any information on this area, please let me know...good or bad:(. Thanks bunches for any info.

If Moss Point is where I think it is all I can say is .

Moss Point is 5 miles east of Pascagoula on Highway 90.

Hardly any information is coming out of the coastal MS areas right now. There was a thread on here earlier today from a blog. It was an account relayed to a sister of a Pascagoula police officer. You can read that account and make your own judgment on what's happening there. If I find the link, I will post it.

I found it. It's the fourth post down. Good luck.

I haven't seen anything specific about that area, but given that there was significant surge even east of there, I have to think there was significant surge in Pascagoula Bay as well.

Whether Moss Point was subject to much of that surge is something I can't guess without knowing much more than I do about the topogrphy of the area.

Hope for the best, though. Even if she's perfectly fine, it wouldn't be surprising if it takes some time to get in contact with her.

It's just north and slightly east of Pascagoula. You can find it on Google Maps. Great tool, BTW...

Thanks bunches for letting me know something...I'm very nervous about her I can't believe she stayed there.

Thanks for the link...That doesn't sound good at all.

My mother lives in Gautier (just east of Moss Point) in the neighborhood south of Hwy. 90 across from Singing River Mall. She called me at 10am saying water was entering their home which is 15 ft above sea level. That was the last I heard from her until 20 minutes ago. Their home was flooded and destroyed. She reports most of Gautier is underwater. I imagine it's worse farther west into Ocean Springs and Moss Point.

I rode it out on the north side of Ocean Springs. I'm about 35 feet above sea level. I recorded 3 wind gusts over 120 mph before the part of my roof which my anemometer was attached peeled off.

Moss Point looks like a war zone. I can't imagine any survivors in mobile homes, especially if it was near the coast.

If you are wondering how I have power, I just drove from my home to my cousin's home here in Citronelle, AL, who, amazingly has power. The thought of spending a month without power didn't sound appealing to me at all.

It was incredibly windy on the way over here... easily gusting to 50mph numerous times. Trees covered many of the roads I was on. Many roads were almost impassable.

Gautier is West of Moss Point and Pascagoula across the Pascagoula river.


Well that doesn't sound good. My grandparents live in a large two story house on a bluff on Homestead Blvd in Gautier, at the very end of the road on a point that looks across the Pascagoula river at Pascagoula and Moss Point. In Georges the water came up very high in the yard and left 6 feet of debris to be cleaned up...logs washed up and ripped the bark of the bases of several of the trees...many trees uprooted and they had some shingle damage and the water came into the ridgevents and then dripped down the walls.

The ground has been extremely saturated there so I'm afraid they've lost many trees. The house is 23 feet above sea level I believe so I'm sure they didn't have water come in. They have a very broad house facing the east with alot of windows (that were of course boarded up) and a large chimney. Looks like the wind was gusting out of the east to probably 125mph. WORSE than Georges. Their house is exposed to marsh on the north east and south sides so I can imagine that the yard is a complete mess. Nothing except a couple of trees blocks the wind from east. I really hope the house held up.

Moss Point is much farther from the Gulf and farther inland so I'm sure surge was less of a factor there.

My grandparents neighbor stayed and rode it out and he is watching for their house as well. Hopefully we'll get a call from him sometime this evening.
