SOUTHGROUP ONLINE IN JACKSON

October 3, 2005

“After Hurricane Katrina, it looked as if a bomb had ex-ploded in Hatties-burg, Miss.,” Gray Montgomery, of SouthGroup Insur-ance Services told Insurance Journal.

SouthGroup, headquartered in Jackson, Miss., and has a dozen offices across Mississippi, specializing in insurance and risk management products.

“Trees, power lines, and debris were scattered all over the place,” Montgomery said. “The roads were a mess and one was lucky to be able to drive. Homes were damaged, some beyond repair.”

Montgomery said the progress that has been made is unbelievable.

“Ignore the CNN’s and other liberal media that says everything is moving too slow,” Montgomery explained.

“The local, state and federal governments are working extremely well to together. Phone lines are up and we now have power and drinkable water. There are no words that can describe the generosity of this great nation.”
