Update from Lagniappe

I got this email from Curt Moore, a pastor at Lagniappe church in Bay St Louis, MS, as an update on how things are in the Bay so far:

Dear Friends,
Since Lagniappe was closed to volunteers most of the staff were out of town when Gustav came through today. My wife and I remained in Guflport while Jean Larroux stayed north of Kiln, MS for quick access back to the Bay. The following is a report issued from Governor Barbour has been edited to only include information pertinent only to the Lagniappe parrish residents of Bay St. Louis and Waveland:

Governor Barbour just reported, with limited access, the effects of Gustav. 10 foot tidal surge in Waveland. Several hundred homes damaged in Waveland. Curfew in effect 6pm-6am.

MNA's Disaster Response secured accommodations for coastal residents at First Presbyterian Church's retreat center, Twin Lakes where approximately 30 PCA families evacuated. All Lagniappe staff, families, and members are safe. Since many area residents sustained flood damage in Waveland, Lagniappe will be opening it's bunkhouses to families in need of shelter, and will also open it's kitchen to begin serving meals as soon as possible. Highway 603 was flooded today, but is expected to reopen by midmorning on Tuesday.

Please pray for travel mercies for all those returning home as well as Lagniappe staff who have been asked to return to facilitate disaster response at Lagniappe.Will report more tomorrow. You may also check out our blog for continued updates at www.lagniappechurch.blogspot.com
