Update:

we were only able to have communication with them once yesterday morning. The cell lines are completely bogged at all hours.

FanTC (Mark) is in complete shock and close to panic stages. He was in tears on the phone saying he was helping other 'refugees' stack bodies ... his heart is broken.
They literally only got out with the clothes on their backs.
Of course water is everyones main priority and at the time of the call they had had none for over 24 hours.

We are praying to get contact again today somehow to tell them we have a plan set out for them. Through countless hours of phone calls, emails and icq's we've formulated the following:
Because they are allowing NO civilians into the area, once we have his exact location we can call the OEC to go extract them to a Red Cross Shelter where they will have food, water and a cot.

Once the streets are somewhat passable (probably a few more days) and he can manage to get his 5 gallons of rationed gas he will need to make his way East (his car is driveable thank goodness). He'll need to get as close as he can to the Florida border where we will have a friend waiting with extra gas, food, water, money and a change of clothes. They will then escort them to the Tampa area for the temporary relocation that has so generously been offered.

However, Its essential that we somehow get in touch with him to let him know the plan, everything is based upon that point.

Whats ironic is that one of his best friends has emergency clearance credentials and the blue light enabling her to enter disaster zones but she lives in Tennessee and has a very unreliable car .. the car would not make the trip unfortunately. She is the only one that would be allowed to enter the zone *sigh*

I'll update you more as things progress

thank you on Marks behalf for everyone's well wishes, prayers and support .. you cannot begin to know how much it is appreciated.
