i read some news articles from his local paper last night, and it sounded like a lot of tree damage and power outages. i don't remember any, but do you remember seeing any non-portable phones at his place? if all they have are portables, they might have no battery power left and no way of recharging them. otherwise, like asian said, the lines are probably just down. i would think they should be fine with that massive basement.
I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have power. I'm sure they are ok but it would be nice to know. Laura and Nathan were wondering if anyone had talked to hin and no one seemed to have heard anything.
yeah, i got an e-mail from nathan and laura last night checking to see if i'd heard from him. hopefully howie will find a way to get word out soon though. anyone know his dad's cell number? maybe have it in their phone by chance?
Howie is OK!

Laura and Nathan here ... just got off the phone with David Howie. He's ok in Jackson. We're filling him in on what the situation is everywhere. I guess he hasn't heard much news lately without power. He got power back Wed. night and water back that morning.
Their house is ok, but some of their office buildings had some roof damage.
His grandmother (from New Orleans) is staying with them for awhile. No news on her house, but Mrs. Howie has hopeful thoughts.
If he has a chance to get a dial-up connection over the next few days, he'll try to post, but that is assuming all the servers are ok.
