Hurricane Katrina aftermath

The communities of the Mississippi Gulf Coast were thoroughly devastated by Hurricane Katrina. I'll let these photos tell the story.

HELLO FROM KNOXVILLE TENNESSEE---> TO ALL OF NEW ORLEANS----I WANT YOU TO KNOW IM A HURRICANE SURVIVOR TOO AND ONCE YOUVE BEEN THROUGH IT YOULL NEVER BE THE SAME....JUST LIKE 9-11 WE WILL NEVER FORGET! YOUR CITY WAS BEAUTIFUL AND WILL BE AGAIN. I PLAN TO VISIT NEXT YEAR. AS WITH THE HURRICANE I WENT THROUGH (HURRICANE HUGO-1989 CHARLESTON, S.C.) IT HAS LEFT SCARS THAT HAVE NEVER HEALED. AS I WATCHED THE COVERAGE OF KATRINA, EVERY DAY AND SOMETIMES DID NOT SLEEP I KNEW HOW HELPLESS YOU EACH FELT. I FEEL SO SAD THAT OUR GOVERNMENT IN THE GREAT USA CANT HELP OUR OWN AS WELL AS WE SEEM TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR OTHER COUNTRIES. NEW ORLEANS WILL RISE AGAIN AND THE NINETH WARD NEEDS TO REBUILD AND BRING THEIR FAMILIES HOME!
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER AND NEVER FORGET...MAY GOD BLESS THE GREAT STATE OF LA.

Very nice gallery.
It makes think to all those people who used to live there at the time or who lives there now.

Thanks for posting this extensive gallery. Now living near Greenville, SC (on a great, big hill...), my wife and I were residents of Waveland for 13 years and have taken the liberty to post comments on a couple of your photos. You even got a photo of our pilings and our neighbor's faux Easter Island statue next door. It was a great life in a wonderful small community but what will replace it...?

Thanks for sharing those links. The editorial sums up our plight quite effectively.

Thanks for sharing your photos! There is finally much more out there of the MS Gulf Coast, but at this point many outside the area do not know or even care.

I've been meaning to comment on your pics. They are wonderful... I can't believe you got pictures of my boy Jim Cantory. I sure have a lot to learn. Thanks for sharing. I forawded the link to all my buddys. Thanks again. Did You seen the news the other night. They showed a quick segment on Pass Christian. I think it lasted about 2 minuts if that.
Guest 07-Nov-2005 17:29
thanks Steve for commenting in my gallery, we traveled the same ground and experienced the same devistation! a life changing event that I will never forget! Great shots in here and glad you and your family are safe and sound. These shots will allow us to never forget the wrath of mother nature, so we remember to live each day to the fullest, for our futures are unknown!

Thank you so much for posting these. I grew up in Mississippi...Ocean Springs to be exact. Although, I was born in Biloxi, on the airforce base. I must say, i've been going crazy up here in Birmingham (displaced from Slidell, LA)trying to find out what it looks like down there. I got to see Biloxi and North Biloxi when I went to see my dad, on our way back from salvaging what we could in Slidell. But the news here is only covering New Orleans and it's driving me mad. So I must say, as horrible as it is to see my home state in ruines, I'm very happy I came across these photos.
Thank you and God Bless.

hi steve im also a hurricane victom and its nice to know ur okay.oh, and keep our community good!!!!
Gus Rosenfeld14-Sep-2005 20:15
I have been waiting for these; I'm sure more will be pouring in. I see the results of Katrina with much greater clarity through the eyes of Pbase, than through the over-exposure of the television media. I'll be back to the gallery as time permits. Thanks so much for taking time out of an obviously busy time to post these; it would be therapy for me if I was in your position and I hope it was for you. Best and donations - g

Hi Steve. Glad to hear you are OK. I was a bit worried for a while. Looked at some satelite photos and it seems my old place on W Beach Blvd is gone. Good luck to all of you on rebulding your community. Best regards from Oslo, Norway.

I am so glad you're doing well, teve. Good luck as you and your community works to pick up the pieces.
Kevin 09-Sep-2005 02:27
Nice to know you are o.k...Great photo documentation.
Laura 08-Sep-2005 06:01
I thought you would be posting some pictures. It looks just awful down there. I did not recognize most of the pictures of Long Beach. Was extremely grateful when I found out that you all fared well.
Wayne Cowan08-Sep-2005 02:56
Hey great to hear your ok.
Joe Lasker01-Sep-2005 19:25
I hope all is well, Steve We had a store in the Edgewater Mall - right near where you took these pictures. We still don't know what it looks like.
Guest 28-Aug-2005 14:14
Steve, We'll be watching and hoping the best for everyone there.
