Katrina pics

My son is in the Navy and was station Pasqugola MS and lived in Biloxi. Pretty much lost everything he had. The Navy has moved his ship and living quarters to Mayport, Florida. Hoping that he gets to stay there, MS is too damn hot, too damn humid, and you know the rest of the story.

Hottest place I have ever been. Was down there to deliver my sons bedroom suite and at 7:00 in the morning it was 83 degrees and about the same humidity level. Never would go back there except for New Orleans, now that is a fun town! Hope to get back there once they rebuild.

We had a tornado hit the city where I was working back in 03. The damage looks kinda like that but without all the water left over and more debris and crap lyin around. You guys who have never expirienced it can not even imagine the chaos that is involved. We were getting calls of people trapped in buildings and such for about an hour after it was over. We had to drive through peoples yards and for the first time in my career we were nothing but applauded for our service. Then...came the looters...

Thoughts and prayers to all, there.

Wow..that is incredible ! It looked like entire neighborhoods were erased with nothing left except the concrete slabs. It also looks like every floating casino on the gulf coast is now out of business. That must have been a very big storm surge to move those casinos that far up onto the land.

I don't know why the media hasn't been showing more of this stuff instead of focusing only on New Orleans day after day. Those poor people have got a real mess down there.

No one could have imagined all the damage that would be done by that storm.


I don't know why anyone would say that unless you weren't around when Hurricane Andrew hit FL in the 90's. Granted it is bad and over a larger area. I'm sure the pictures or even video doesn't provide the full scope of destruction.
Unfortunately, it's only going to get worse every time a major hurricane hits since the building and population count continues to increase in between storms.

Also, a lot of those areas had not rebuilt from the last time they were hit by a hurricane.
 
No, I remember Andrew and it was a bad storm. Some of the places in Florida are still unliveable because of that storm. I think Katrina was far worse though.

We had hurricane Fran in 96, which was no where near being as strong as either of those, except that it did more damage inland than they thought it would because it didn't weak as much as they had thought it would once it made landfall.

I thought it was bad when we had 3 pine trees through our mobile home totaling it and losing a lot of what we had due to the rain pouring in, but that is nothing compared to what these people have gone through and what they are facing ahead.
 
somehow i think the whole world is going to change because of this. Oil reserves are already used up, we haven't seen anything yet. this is scary. My heart is heavy right now for those people who lost everything and those who died a horrible death down there.
