My response:

If you can find a pastor or priest who isn't presiding over funerals due to the hurricane, then yes, you can get married. Good luck finding one.

Not without parental consent you can't. MS requires parental consent for anyone under the age of 21. It's the oldest age requirement in the U.S. All of those websites you’ve seen (and there a lot of them) stating that minors can get married in MS without parental consent at the ages of 15 (for females) and 17 (for males) are incorrect. Those are the ages that you can marry *with* parental consent.
