Wiggins, Miss

Anyone know anything about this area and the Biloxi area? I'll be headed there Sunday for a week of hurricane support and we're trying to plan what we need to bring, what is open and functioning, etc. Any insight is helpful. We're staying at a state park in Wiggins, but working down on the Mississippi coast area.

Thanks!

have family that live down that way.
spots are bad..as in not there anymore.
worst problem is crime spike due to orleans people that were evacuated .take boots,bug stray and the comfort items you are used to having.

now there is fuel ,power, water but its ruff in areas.

many accidents due to damaged structures ,nails broken glass etc.

damaged areas are spotty little here bad there type thing.

family homes only had wind damage but closer to coast there was nothing standing.

be carefull what you eat and stay clean .wash your hands

I thought this was a post about a Tim Conway sketch from the old "Carol Burnett Show."

"Hello, Misses-a Wiggins"

Guess not...

The hurricane support thing is cool, though. Good luck and stay safe !

Most of the initial storm chaos has subsided. Compared to the weeks after the storm hit, quite a bit is back up and running. But there is still considerable damage directly on the coast, especially south of I-10.

In Wiggins, you should be able to find most of the necessities. There are enough stores and gas stations running now that you shouldn't have too much trouble finding most of the basics that were really hard to come by in the first weeks after the storm.

In general, the closer you get to the Louisianna / Mississippi state line (closer to Waveland), the more extensive the damage. But everywhere along coastal Mississippi that was exposed to the storm surge saw extensive damage.

If you are planning on camping, bring some warm gear. The temperatures are warm right now, but it would not be unusual to see nights in the 40s this time of year.

I know several jumpers from Gold Coast that live along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Let me know if you would llike to try and contact some of the local jumpers.
