We didn\'t know my brother, Jim Bosco, was alive until my sister saw him walk behind Jim Cantore on the Weather Channel. Jim had boarded up the Sands Apartments, where he was a live-in manager, and spent the storm at the Best Western, Beach Drive, Gulfport. The water came up to the second floor but the concrete building held. This was next to the Port of Gulfport with literal tons of frozen meat and seafood rotting in the heat. His apartment complex is a slab. He got out with $6 and his dog. With great difficulty, I made contact and drove the 16 hours to Hattiesburg, MS with a trunkload of gas cans (a mobile bomb) and the windows down, to pick him up. His neighbor drove up in a car with the windows blown out and ran out of gas. Hattiesburg had no electric or gas but people were calm. I took him north to PA and after two weeks he went back. I followed and did insurance work Oct-Nov and Jan-Feb. He\'s in a horrible FEMAville trailer park but keeping busy as an electrician.
