IKE...National Guard responding on Coast
Members of the Mississippi Army National Guard 155th Combined Arms Battalion from McComb are supporting Hancock, Harrison and Jackson counties due to effects from Hurricane Ike.
Soldiers are on standby to assist with search and rescue efforts if needed due to flooding and damaging winds caused by the storm.
Members of the battalion are from Biloxi, Brookhaven, McComb and Poplarville.
These Guardsmen were called to active duty just over a week ago to help support local governments during Hurricane Gustav.

Way to many road closings to list. The surge is more than some expected in Mississippi...
