Beau Rivage Biloxi, Ms. DURING Hurricane Katrina

[LBP2GlitchesNhelp]

I lived in mississippi for 12 years and i am 12 years old and i lived in ocean springs at the time when i was 6 and i went to the colloceum for shelter and it was a horrible experiance...

[funnynocrazyyes]

my dad was a CPA at a hospital across the road from the Beau, everyone was moved upward thinking of the flooding. Then the windows were blown out so they moved to the middle of the hospital. My dad said he was boarding up windows with patients in the room. As he looked out the window he could see bodies floating by. For the people who lived in Biloxi like me, Katrina was OUR TSUNAMI

[THEenkm97]

OMG, 

[PrinceOfMississipi]

Wow. I was just in Biloxi last week. Went to the Beau Rivage

[222delta1]

i was in ocean springs at my house

pretty cool watching the power thee storms put out but u never stop and think that there are people dieing...

[FullmetalninjaDR]

My dad was one of the 33 who stayed at the Treasure Bay Casino(the hotel across the street not the casino itself) during Katrina, 3 floors down were flooded and the 5th and 6th were fucked up by a tornado.....And for those who keep bring up new orleans, the amount of damage that the mississippi gulf coast sustained was massive, new orleans only got a lot of flooding(comparable to that of the tsunami that hit in 2004 in asia) but that will happen when your 14 feet below sea level and sinking

[xmoder007]

too all yall who say that new orleans got the worst part the eye hit in WAVELAND MISSISSIPPI. the only reason that neworleans and louisana is bitching is because the levees broke and guess what i may have been 9 at the time but i had to grow up fast got my ass up and worked! we didnt get no help from fema we did it all our selves!

[LELAND1954]

I made this video. I flew into Pensacola Sunday afternoon - the only other passengers were two surfers from Virginia. Two security guys came by about 11pm, but by then the roads were flooded and they let me stay, in fact suggesting a better location on the fifth floor. The parking structure was quite safe, and I was surprised Monday morning when I saw that the first floor collapsed. I'll work in my pronunciation of Biloxi.

[AgentPepsi1]

Hi there,

I'm a Biloxi girl and I unfortunately saw all of this live. My home was more than a mile inland in North Biloxi and not in a flood plane, yet we took more than seven feet of water through it.

Although Biloxi will always be home, I cannot live there anymore.

[khyea91]

This is the road leading to my old house. I lived on Maison D'orleans. Damn do I miss Biloxi. It was one of the nicest, respectful places I have EVER been. Too many damn good memories.

[AmericanPride42]

Whoever filmed this needs to learn how to say Biloxi.

[frostynugs]

exactly... bil-uk-see... not bil-ock-see.

[theguy4rock]

yeah really

[jjhawksjj]

To all of you on here who lost everything you had and had to start over, I applaud your spirit. You deserved help even though you had the courage to face the disaster head on. Hopefully things in your lives have been put back together and you're back on track to rebuilding that great area down there.

[Kevinyoul0o5serr]

i live her still

i miss my home :(

[l1nkh0gthr0b]

I lost my home and everything in it in "K". Took me 4 yrs. to rebuild, but I did. For all the nanowits out there, Bush had nothing to do with this natural disaster. And I considered it MY responsiblilty to recover, not anyone else's including the gov't. I am thankful for the help I did get, but NOBODY OWED ME ANYTHING! We are NOT into victimhood here, you understand.

Pascagoula, MS

[MarineRecon4]

My mom is general manager there

[ThurrsOnly1Jawwshie]

Those apartments in 01:04 to 01:20, totally got demolished =(

[BenMarbleMD]

well the guy who shot/narrated the video is supposedly from California and I believe that is true bc anyone who was from here would not have been foolish enough to be where he was shooting that video i.e. he's lucky he isn't dead

[compute9]

its prenounced buluxe

[green98madison]

i'm so sad... about two or three months about two or three months before hurricane katrina hit, my grandparents brought me and my sister here to stay for vacation. it was very, very beautiful. you could look right out your window and see little porpoise.

[pegcage]

green98madison: It's ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-ack!

[olglory4263]

I used to work in the Beau, a server in the Buffet. I left Biloxi two days before the storm hit. They said get out and that is just what I did. I packed everything and left for Las Vegas.

Was really surprised but then again not really to find more Biloxian here in the desert since Katrina.

My wife worked at the Olive Garden restaurant, I have gone back since, a year later, and saw the devastation first hand. Olive Garden was nothing more than a flat cement pad.

God Bless all the survivors.

[ThaColombianCartel]

i worked at the grand and they made us work like till one day before the hurricane

[ThurrsOnly1Jawwshie]

do u know somebody named cookie?

[tankgirl9176]

I think my mom worked with Cookie.

[ThurrsOnly1Jawwshie]

thats awesome.

[gulfcoastbella]

I worked for Security at the Beau....and we have a STRICT policy of what's kinda called"the HurricaneCrew"...meaning that some 5/6 folks automatically STAY, this is a volunteer position. I had been living at Gulf Towers and my mom...she got trapped on the 7th floor, we had to LifeFlight out several older folks. AND, in MY humble opinion...Mississippians got up the next day, pulled on our clean up gear, quit bitching and got to work. Seems to me LA is STILL whining---we didnt WAIT for ANYONE!

[JewManFew]

Im a day late and a penny short, but, very well said- thanx for the post, enjoyed reading it.

[ThaColombianCartel]

yea but we didnt stay flooded for weeks after the storm

[222delta1]

@gulfcoastbella true...

[ohiosux]

Great video, but impeach Bush and Cheney? Ridiculous statement. It's people like Ray Nagin & Kathleen Blanco that bear the blame. FEMA may have dropped the ball too, but preparedness would have done the folks of the Gulf more service. There were a handful of close calls in the years preceding Katrina & still they were caught off-guard. This is what happens when you depend on government & now people want government to take over healthcare. Liberals criticize government yet call for more; insane!

[nolafan790]

Yes, thank you! I am a native New Orleanian and completely agree. I am not sure where you are from, but here on the local news in New Orleans, Nagin has gone bonkers. He has become paranoid and thinks everyone is trying to take him down. Nagin has also proven to be an extremely corrupt politician.

On government taking over everything, all I have to say is get ready for socialism. Good or bad, that's where we're headed.

[ohiosux]

Scary stuff indeed. I just read in the Army Times that Obama is preparing 80,000 US troops somewhere in Georgia because of the social unrest that could potentially occur. This is no joke.

[gray73]

@ohiosux And a year latter we see it wasn't a joke. It was utter bull shit instead.

[robnum1]

how the hell could you have voted for bush and the republicans after what he did to your state. that's what I want to know. The entire country is laughing at how you didn't punish the republicans for what they did to you. I tell you what, if there was an earthquake in California, and obama didn't do anything to help. You'd be sure that the democrats would have no power in California during the next election cycle.

This goes to prove that Louisiana is exactly like the movie the Waterboy.

[gcrebel2008]

Are you mentally insane? First off, this video was filmed in Mississippi. Not Louisiana. Most of us here in Mississippi didn't need Bush's help. We helped ourselves for the most part. New Orleans were the ones that were screaming for help. We wouldn't want Obama's help either.

[FullmetalninjaDR]

Hell yea man....I was in my house in Ocean Springs for the whole damn thing..that was terrible, but we rebuilt and everything is fine now..no help no nothin

[llyynnaasshh]

@gcrebel2008 we werent screaming for help stupid ass.

[lhernandez48]

Actually, @gcrebel2008, teams from Florida where in Miss. prior to and during Katrina, then took over your EOC, Sheriffs Office, and Fire Departments in three counties in Miss. (including Biloxi)... thats the reason you didn't need Bush's help.

[brandonmac007]

@gcrebel2008 And because of brilliant minds like this person's Mississippi ranks last in every category except fat kids and racists.

[MrShushup]

@brandonmac007 fuck u u dumb cunt bring ur fuckin ass to mississippi and see how long ur fucking ass last bitch

[chimayai]

@gcrebel2008 LOL great response! was just curious though...mentally is the only kind of insane, right? dunno about physically insane.

[hrabadie]

ignorant.

[mosquewatcher]

@robnum1

you're a son of a bitch.

[BLAZEERTY13]

i lived right across from the beou i lived at Gulf Towers

[SolaceInShadow]

Ha! I used to work valet at that casino, parking cars in that garage. I moved earlier that year from Ocean Springs, right next to Biloxi, to New Mexico.
