Any word from the Picayune area? I lived there for a few years in my youth, and I am worried sick.

I have a cousin in Picayune. They made it; some damage to their home.

My brother-in-law's family lives near Picayune (it's where they went to get away from Ivan and Dennis).

My sister got a report from them:
They lost some trees, shingles and the lattice around their above-ground pool... and no power. Their folks house is okay, although there was substantial damage to uncle/cousin's property across the street.

I don't think you will see the utter devastation in Picayune of the communities nearer to the coast but it probably took a good beating nonetheless.
