Some residents don't see light at the end of the tunnel
Monday was devastating. We were out doing live reports all day. I've been in a lot of hurricanes, but this lasted longer and was more powerful than any I had seen before.
At one point, the van we were in was demolished by a 200 pound chunk of fence. We could only imagine what happened to people who decided to ride this storm out instead of leaving.
When we drive now for miles and miles, it is hard to believe the level of devastation. Now is an especially tough time, here in Mississippi, because the state is still out of electricity and water. And no one is talking about when it will be back.
It is hot. In most neighborhoods, people haven't seen anyone of any authority. People are angry. They are wandering, in many cases aimlessly. That's what strikes me about this hurricane.
