Hurricane Katrina Part 3- post Katrina Mississippi

[christiandrumr80]

Thank you for doing this documentary. Words cannot express how grateful I am that someone cared enough to cover the devastated areas in detail and care; especially Waveland and Bay St. Louis, MS. In 10:21 of this video was my parents house and the house I grew up in. I didn't live far from my parents and lost everything as well.

[christiandrumr80]

@christiandrumr80 I understand that New Orleans suffered greatly with levee's breaking. But thats about all that was ever reported on. I have now moved north and a few states away. If I mention Katrina, people think New Orleans. When I say no, I was from south MS, most say something along the lines of "how was South MS affected by Katrina?" or "your levees didnt hold either?" Even WLOX the local tv station spent little time covering waveland & bay st.louis. thanks for this superior documentary.

[kmb9624]

Wow! When Mother Nature says: "get out of my way," she won't ever have to tell me twice. My heart goes out to all those who survived and to those who didn't survive this powerful storm.

[anneortiz59]

I thank you so very much, your videos are awesome and for the first time it made me cry to see all the devestation, because before there was no time, just picking up pieces and moving on the best we could! I live in Waveland and David Garcia is my neighbor, and is also now the mayor of Waveland!

[SirChocolateHobo]

Cool stuff, but why you gotta be so emo?

[mamacornettesmoney]

@Tyallah1 ? No, MS got it MUCH worse than NOLA did. NOLA's problems were the Levees failing and the after math. The storm itself hit MS much worse than NOLA. Rita hit Southwestern LA much worse than Katrina did SE Louisiana too. In fact. RITA, not Katrina, Is the worse storm the US has seen in many decades.

[RoseKatie123]

My brother and sister In law was in that, but the house didn't get knocked over:DDDD

[fabulous1233]

I remember the first time I went to Waveland only 2 weeks after Katrina hit..I was completely shocked. All the beautiful beach front homes were just Gone. Nothing Left! Katrina impacted the Mississippi Coast so much.

[fabulous1233]

I remember the first time I went to Waveland only 2 weeks after Katrina hit..I was completely shocked. All the beautiful beach front homes were just Gone. Nothing Left! Katrina impacted the Mississippi Coast so much. Its definitely not completely back the way it was before the storm but It will be one day...

[svhwdwnut]

how about a video of waveland MS now?

[Allroundfisher]

Can you make a live stream of the Zyclon Yasi? Please please!

Greetings from Switzerland

[MomfromTN]

My family is moving to Waveland in 1 week and we are looking forward to it. Your video makes me appreciate the area more as we are coming from Tennessee. It is so amazing to watch your videos. I will add your website for future storm information. Thanks for risking a lot to show us what happened to such a beautiful area.

[svhwdwnut]

@MomfromTN 

[liljohnnydel1]

5 foot in waveland?it was 21 feet above normal tide on maryann dr in gautier........21 feet...if it would have come in full tide it might have went 23,24...but after 21 in dont make much differance

[megan8madonna]

Again...well done!

[BrianFalconsFan29]

Watching this made me cry not allot makes me cry but this did i can't imagine living through something like this

[violetsaresweet]

Wow, very sad documentary...never will forget those who died in this hurricane it is the biggest tradegy of USA history....RIP

[mikehawk69]

great work dudes..



[KissMeBabez778]

i was smaller when alot of this was happening im 12 now... and i find this so interesting thanks for postin! i love learnin this stuff!

[TUFFGUYS1]

its so hard to believe this was 5 years ago and the gulf coast is still recovering from this giant of a hurricane. the question is: will the gulf coast ever be the same again? i highly doubt it and its so sad. there was 9/11/01 but now there and forever will be 8/29/05 the 2 major disasters our amazing country has suffered. i hope one day everyone will be happy again in those areas. god bless

[Kattx07]

This was just heartbreaking to watch. I can't imagine what it must have been like to endure it all. To all those affected by Katrina, my heart goes out to you and your families. My thoughts and prayers are for you and may God bless you all and see you through. I hope you never have to witness and endure anything like this ever again. Blessings and good will to you all!

[ShybutFunGal1234]

we can all say that New Orleans,Louisiana and Mississippi have been throught tough times.They were in a living hell. But I can only say they have a strong soul.Five years and they still live strong. I <3 all the survivors.They make us proud!!

[AchromaticProduction]

my grandma lived in bay saint louis she stayed with us during katrina i live in picayune which isnt far at all

[shaelynnjordan]

@Tyallah1(continued from previous post) this docum was giving his experience of BEFORE, DURING and after the directly hit areas of the actual hurricane. Nobody here (that I have read) is saying that New O was not affected badly by this horrible storm, they are simply saying it wasnt JUST New O that suffered, so calm down. Im sorry for everyone that lost loved ones and homes from this, It affected the whole country in some way. It was all bad (none "worser"as you said) which is not a word btw!

[shaelynnjordan]

@Tyallah1 As someone else already stated...New O was affected by the hurricane no doubt...BUT the reasons for their devistation was due to the levees failing...and the reason you DIDNT see anyone on the streets in this docum. is because they KNEW the severity of the storm was headed their way...The people on the roofs of building in New O were not expecting the Levees to fail therefor had not evacuated. That is the reason New Orleans had the damage it did was from flooding, the person making

[lisbethmobile]

Nicely edited. It showed some good before and after that gives those of us who lived here reminders of how it used to be compared to right after. Today, it's hard to find some of these places due to the loss of landmarks. But you captured how the people simply believed we'd be all right.

[shaelynnjordan]

I am speechless, I have never seen a documentary that was so jawdropping-ly powerful. What you captured is nothing short of amazing and moved me to tears. There are SO many "reports" of what devastation Katrina caused but as people have said, it is usually focused on what damage New Orleans had when it was so much greater than that. You have a true gift and talent to move people in a way that I have never seen before. Thank you for sharing this, it was unbelievable to say the least, EYE OPENING

[whiteseaair]

Looking forward to your 5 year documentary. Thank you for giving Mississippi the attention it deserves. I am proud to say I survived this storm.

[Alice5604]

GUYS I ALL MOST DIED IN THIS HURRICAN AND YES I BIN IN THIS HURRICAN

[SJB666]

Very sad. Looking forward to seeing the 5 year later footage when its done. God I can't believe it has already been 5 years since Katrina hit. Wonderful documentry. To those that are still greaving lost ones, family or friends my heart goes out to you. Best wishes from Australia on the 5th anniversary of such a sad occasion.

Cheers...

[gclukenola]

On the 5 yr. anniversary, I can't express the saddness I feel when I see this beautiful coastal community that sadly will never be the same at least in my life time. Before Katrina every month a friend and I would go to mass our church, St Patrick in New Orleans then drive to the coast through Waveland, using the beautiful scenic coast road to Biloxi, We would stop at antique shops, art galleries and great restaurants. A gracious and charming part of America is gone.

[ptwilley2]

I live in Gulfport and stayed here during the storm. Mississippi did not get the coverage it should have. We took the brunt of the storm and yet to this day Katrina is associated with New Orleans. No one out of state was getting updates on the Coast because all news focused on New Orleans. They breached a levee. We had a hurricane. The narrator states "Five years later it will be as if nothing happened." Not true. It still looks like a bomb was dropped here.

[lupismike]

I cant imagine what it must be like to lose everything you own just like that in one moment. It must be horrible.

[msedillo1]

Thank you for not forgetting us. The people that survived Katrina. It was difficult for me to watch this since we lived in the Bay/Waveland area. I think I cried through the whole thing. It has made me realize how lucky we were to have been able to get out of there before the hurricane came in. It also makes me remember all the people that were left behind or who lost their homes and the ones who lost their lives. This was a beautiful area with warm hearted people who I miss so much.

[mfrohno]

These fella's that made this film did a pretty good job... And just so that every one knows.... The news media misrepresented the federal response pretty bad. There was four hours of ts force winds, then 12 hours of hurricane force winds, followed by another 6 to 8 hours of tropical storm force winds. All the while, Katrina was steadily moving north, and destroying everything in it's path. There were no roads that were passible for almost two days, and those paths were cut by residents with sa

[mfrohno]

The way we see it down here in south Mississippi is new Orleans didn't get it worse, south ms didn't get it worse either...... We all just got it....

[mfrohno]

I live in south Mississippi and these videos barely do justice. Our coast was destroyed up to half a mile inland for 23 miles. These areas were unfilmable for days and weeks because the roads were completely covered with wreckage. Some areas were without power for over a month. Brick buildings were not safe. The storm took what ever it wanted.... Which was almost everything

[MrPersecutor1]

This looks really bad but wasnt new orleans worse?

[jenisist]

@MrPersecutor1 New Orleans was destroyed,yes, but let me remind you,New Orleans is in a middle of a swamp. And the swamp was surrounded by the delta of the Mississppi River and the Gulf of Mexico. And New Orleans is also a good bit under sea level. The only thing that was keeping New Orleans from flooding in the first place were those giant dams. All Katrina did was break the dams.

[maddo1084]

keep up the work hope i see some video for the 2010 season

[AsHuAli786]

You guys are doing an awesome job keeping people updated and by putting your lives in danger. Hats off to yall!

[babygirl2010760]

welcome to wat was the gulf coast...its now hurrican season again..and the storm alex is brewing....is thought to go to mexico but they are still not sure........if available keep me posted of wat goes on with alex

[Twistinater]

This years hurricane season might be active, and Keep an eye on the caribbean right now. Good documentary 5 stars :]

[TheBoolet]

I live in British Columbia and as you mentioned pretty much all media coverage focused on New Orleans. I had NO idea K had wiped out Mississippi like that ! Your videos managed to give the mind something to grasp

about destruction on a scale otherwise incomprehensible . I found myself forgetting to breath while I watched this...just unbelievable. Best wishes to everyone who had to face that Monster storm..

[lunatiksAlterEgo]

I have a feeling some freinds that we knew in longbeach might of died during this hurricane, i've been trying to find them online and have come up with nothing.

[chimayai]

A truly moving, exceptional and breathtaking documentary. I have no words for what i feel right now.

Thank you.

[hurricanetrack]

Well that is very kind. I appreciate it very much as do the other people involved in making the documentary. It means a lot to us that folks will sit down and watch our work- and that they take something away when finished. Awesome.

[chump1516]

Amazing!!!

[55321murphy]

Would you go back and shoot some new video in 2010?

[rskbamer]

@55321murphy We just came back from the Gulf Port Biloxi area. It is cleaned up now  and a lot has been rebuilt or cleaned up, but it still looks very empty. The beach area along hiway 90 is mostly empty. Just decaying parking lots and old pillars from piers and buildings that used to be there. The peninsula that had the big casinos on is just a big concrete slab with pillars sticking up. The area across from the beach has a lot of sidewalks and driveways to where big houses used to stand.

[hurricanetrack]

Yes, I am going back this summer to do a follow up. As I told the high school kid- "In 5 years, it will be like it never happened". We'll see about that. There are a lot of meanings to that beyond the obvious.

[wintersmelody]

I was just there on Thursday and while there is a lot of progress there's still a LOT to be done. I've watched this video series several times and look forward to your follow up this summer.

Thanks for reminding people there was more to Katrina than the levee's of New Orleans.

[svhwdwnut]

@hurricanetrack done yr followup yet?

[gcrebel2008]

I really miss the old Gulf Coast. The Gulf Coast that I remember from before Katrina. Sure wish all the restaurants would come back and I really wish that they would just tear down what was started on that stupid Margaritaville Casino. They stopped working on it after the economic recession in 2008 and it has become an eyesore.

[CalisCool]

lol Margaritaville

[MSCowgal]

The house that we stayed in came apart around us. I have never prayed so hard in all my life.  I kept my then 2 year old under a heavy mattress in my brother in laws bedroom. it was the only room left with a roof. The walls shook violently around us, and my brother in law was laughing. i thought hed truly lost his mind. It was a month before we could even get to our house. We found our carport completely gone and my daughters room had no roof. and another hole in the living room.

[MSCowgal]

My mother in law had a house in Waveland on Lakeshore Drive. You could walk to the beach and she lived on one of the canals. The only thing she found remaining of her house was her hammer and her spare key to her toyota highlander. There was literally nothing left. She stayed where we lived in Lumberton, MS. We only thought it was far enough North. We were wrong. She stayed with my sister in law and we stayed with my brother in law. We also lived within walking distance of I 59.

[ryanb788]

Thank you..I live in Kiln MS. The water actaully reached the southern most part of this town. We lost our mobile home and all of its contents. You can see in one of my video's where I had taken pictures of the trailer after it had been flipped over from the storm.

[MrRapdb]

1st, I'd like to say how impressed I was with this video. Bravo, guys! Secondly, I would like to wish my MS neighbors well. You are a resilient group! I remember many a childhood summer in Long Beach, MS...adjacent to Gulfport...so beautiful, so serene. 3rd, I cannot express how sick I am of people who feel the need to comment who know NOTHING about the situation. Most of this video is an area across the street from the Gulf of Mexico! (Or within a few blocks.) People there CHOSE to take the

[MrRapdb]

chance of total destruction in exchange for the beautiful surroundings (just like any other coastal community).

I lived in St. Bernard Parish one block from the infamous Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans. We DID NOT build across from the Gulf. We DID NOT want to take that risk. In fact, where we did live was considered a "no-flood zone" by the US Govt; as such, my mortgage company did not even require I carry flood insurance. Luckily, Im a paranoid-sort & carried the insurance anyway

[MrRapdb]

Know what I found in my USA-declared no-flood zone property? A rotting fish with a head the size of a dinner plate 6 feet high in my backyard tree! So much for faith in our government! And what you also dont know is that Mississippi received about twice as much $ from MY tax dollars per home destroyed than Louisiana. And why? Politics. Why? There was a Rep. administration at the helm of the nation & MS, LA had a Demo governor. Using politics to make decisions like that is reprehensible

[MrRapdb]

Let me dispel the myth..New Orleans receives federal $ to maintain the FEDERAL levee system. However, maintaining same means keeping grass cut & security, as in not allowing anyone to dig. Thats what that $ is for, not for building or restructing levees. It would be ILLEGAL for any municipality to do that to FEDERAL levees! Our area asked each national administration (Dem & Rep) every year to close the MS River Gulf Outlet (MRGO) & restore our wetlands.

[MrRapdb]

(The MRGO is another nationally political deal from the 60s (Democrats, that time) that created the hurricane surge highway due to the immense erosion & destruction of our wetlands that inundated New Orleans because of the pressure put on the engineering failures of the federal levee system in N.O.) It would have cost about $2 billion upon our last request. As always, we were denied. How much of our tax dollars has been spent now?

[MrRapdb]

We were concerned of something like Katrina. Yet, the Feds scoffed at LA just the year before during a fictitious Hurricane Pam scenario (Google it). So Katrina comes along & MY tax dollars at being spent at well over the $2 billion

[MrRapdb]

requested for blue roofs that were requested immediately after the storm but not installed until 5 months after by out-of-state contractors wanting to make a buck off of our misery.... tax dollars for portable sewerage pumps for our parish because the federal Stafford Act only allows for bringing the pumps back to pre-Katrina condition where, if you have little or no tax base left, your community does not have the funds to complete their part of the project.

[hurricanetrack]

I can second that. I love going back to MS and LA. The people have been most excellent despite all that happened.

[miamihurricane555]

@hurricanetrack that's cause they the love of god in them along with a sense of community.

[MrRapdb]

So 10x more was spent on portable sewerage pumping for over 2 years! Makes a lot of sense, doesnt it? I personally witnessed these 2 examples.

So please, people, reserve your comments on something you know. And if you really want to help & have empathy for the people of LA & MS, come visit & spend your money. We in the South are great hosts & would love to show our appreciation for everything people have done to help us!

[kingpin1960]

That was so inspiring. It makes me proud of my fellow citizen. These folks are picking themselves up and starting over self sufficient people. That is a true grit American. We can survive anything and come back stronger. If the side of Katrina that hit Mississippi had of hit New Orleans, there would be no city to rebuild. LA did not have any trouble like Mississippi. God bless the USA

[hurricanetrack]

This is why hurricanes are so fascinating to me. It's not just the wind, rain and storm surge- it's their ability to change history and affect the political scene and how an entire region is viewed. The only other phenomenon that can do that on a regular basis is war. The debate over who was to blame, who recovered quickest and why will continue for decades to come- and then another powerful hurricane will devastate the region again. It happens throughout history and it will happen again.

[3xut]

It is so hard to understand unless you were involved. I really feel for all the loss of everyone`s homes and belongings.

[bransoncate]

aweseome video...i have my own story, videos and photos from Katrina. this video series tells the truth....

[ryanb788]

0.33 Thats not Waveland right there that is Bay St. Louis

[BLuser01]

Brycedella...horscrap

[smallrossy]

why americans say ya'll lol

[amtwirls2]

Don't know but it sure is catchy!

[SoulCages22]

Amazing video. Thank you for all your hard work on that. We could never really fathom of that type of storm until now. I saw a sign on google, it said "Katrina was big, but our God is BIGGER'!!!

[BryceDella]

Let me make this clear.....All you people harping about Miss. not getting the press need to STFU. Mississippi got the money, while NOLA and the rest of Louisiana have yet to see the kind of money Miss got. It will take about 15 years for NOLA to return to normal but from the looks of it when I was down in waveland on July 2 on my way to a family reunion, the rebuilding process is already complete.

[thebob584]

BryceDella.....Shut up. Big difference between the people in New Orleans, and the people in Mississippi. Mississippi people worked their own way back, meanwhile New Orleans folk are waiting for the government or someone else to do it for them.

It's been 4 years and New Orleans is still a joke.

You make fellow Louisianian's look bad. Good for you Mississippi on your hard work and coming back stronger than ever. Maybe some in southeastern LA will take note.

Doubtful though.

[amtwirls2]

people that live in MS are more proactive in helping themselves and not waiting on the gov. They got to work. My parents lived there since the 40's; they recovered from Camille & now Katrina. They know 75% of the people who live there. Everyone immediately started helping themselves, building make shift shelters out of debris to sleep in while they cleared, cleaned up, salvaged & started rebuilding themselves. They couldn't just sit around & look at the horror of their cities every day.

[RetroJenny]

@amtwirls2 Exactly. They helped themselves. I admire the people of Mississippi who never complained. Of course people who actually work for a living are used to helping themselves .

[amtwirls2]

Well, there are 2 reasons for why MS recovered more quickly than LA:

My father in law worked at 4 TV stations in N.O. during the 70's and 80's. NO. got $ from the gov't every year to fix the levees. Well, instead the money got pocketed by city officials over the years. They never fixed the levees with the money. (that's the short version)

[tippitoe666]

Thank you for sharing this.

[Valthecatlover]

great documentary

[victor2cutube]

I coast is still for the most part wiped out.. nobody can rebuild due to high insurance cost and new building codes plus so many people didn't get any moeny from their insurance company because they didn't have flood coverage.. most buildings on Hwy 90 are gone.. all the old homes and businesses. several casinos didn't rebuild.. the coast will never be the same.. u hardly know where u r on hwy 90 without the landmarks

[aleexxxm]

AWH! my home "/ I miss the gulf coast so much

waveland, bay st. louis, gulf port, diamondhead, the kiln.

i miss it

[nonnagfuckshit]

i grew up in the pc isles. went back recently and there was nothing left.the street i lived on had about 30 + houses now there is one and they were still building it.and forget 90 it was wiped...in my mind the coast is dead.

[girlstorm09]

im not from Mississippi im from Chicago but still from other videos and websites about Katrina it seems they are concertained about building up the big busnessed like casinos and hotals before acsully building whats more important the homes. Most busnessed are rebuilt but still theres many houses not rebuilt yet....

[hurricanetrack]

It was tough on many people. Priorities are sometimes hard to understand. I will miss the Camille- remember seeing it for years as I went across the Mississippi coast on 90 west. It is a changed region now with many vacant lots still overgrown with weeds, etc. hiding the scars of Katrina. Thanks for watching the video.

[miamihurricane555]

@hurricanetrack the same thing happened just south of where I live in southern Miami-Dade Co. Homestead& Florida City went through a decade long economic recession even after the clean up it took ten yrs for bushiness and people to come back even the air force took most of it's equipment out of there

[euthanasia1]

I am from Gulfport and came back to get my mother..she lived off of township road behind wet and wild. I showed up a week after Katrina and they were still finding bodies and people still living in tents without much help.

all my childhood memories places, and people I knew are gone forever . yet the casinos are quick to rebuild but they didn't seem to care about rebuilding what made the Gulf coast unique. IE: SS Camille

[flwrgrl41]

I am from Gulfport too. My grandparents lived a block behind the SS Camille, they lost everything.

[freeski300]

powerful ending, sick tahoe.

[latinguy67]

AMAZING video footage and considerate narrative. Yes, we cannot forget that MS, AL and parts of FL took it on the chin from Katrina.  Thanks for your work and courage.

[hurricanetrack]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and to comment.

[wintersmelody]

Still nearly 4 years after the fact, you mention Katrina, and all anyone mentions is NOLA. Sure they had it bad, but don't forget us here in MS! Thanks for making this video, and remembering Mississippi.

[flwrgrl41]

Thanks! I think that us in MS have been forgotten. Even now on TV when Katrina is mentioned, the only city they speak of is NOLA.

[reneelee83]

Sirmau: God is not punishing anyone by destroying their homes & an entire region by a hurricane!

[OosamisodesoO]

my cousin lives in texas, after the hurricane, she didn't get contact from her grandma, she went to visit, she said she hasn't cried so much in her life...when she got to her grandmas house, nothing was there except the wind. it was so horrible.

[ilovemyweeniedog]

i agree with him all u heard about was new orleans all the celebrities helping new orleans...o poor poor new orleans well i live in mississippi and i know it was a living hell during katrina and its about damn time someone reconized it so thanks to however made this video

[flwrgrl41]

I agree!!

[SveaLynn]

still remembering and still in my prayers. keep on believing!

svea

[ruleta74835]

I can't imagine what it's like to have the whole community destroyed around you. Sad to see.

I drove across Route 90 back in 1996. I bought a locally published magazine commemorating Hurricane Camille from a gift shop built into a boat that had been beached by Hurricane Camille. I guess that shop was washed further inland...anyone know?

[gameshoota101]

The SS Camille was not moved by Hurricane Katrina. Not one inch. It's amazing but they demolished the SS Camille a couple of months ago because it was rusted beyond repair.

[jessie74]

The demolishion of the SS Camille still makes me see red.

This was a historic landmark and should have been treated with respect!

[ankimo1]

The dumb peices of crap that owned it let it rot away to nothing. It's too bad there isn't a law or something against that.

[hurricanetrack]

That was a bad loss. Too bad someone did not have the vision to save it and restore it as a reminder of two historic hurricanes for the region and the power of the people's will to survive and recover.

[vhs1027]

We went to Waveland 4 days after Katrina to retrieve items from the home of a family member who evacuated to our home in Mandevlle, north of New Orleans. The waterline was up to the top of the I-10 overpass at Hwy 603. The devastation was indescribable. If it wasn't for the levees breaking, New Orleans would have had little or no damage. The MS. gulf coast is still vast areas of destruction. It is so sad. They are strong and determined; they will come back. The story of MS needs to be told.

[flwrgrl41]

amen to that!

[Netnurse62]

Thank you so much for this very well done and moving video. The firemen know it all. I am amazed that they never left their duties. This was brilliantly produced and one of the best I have seen. Thanks.

[TennesseeShelties]

made me cry for all those people and pets. Just so sad, words can not tell...

[kbrtiger22]

Great job with this. I am a Louisianian but my best friend has a camp in Bay St. Louis. God bless those reselient people. So long as I live I hope to never see another storm even approaching Katrina coming at us again. Even today, there's so many scars still evident from Katrina. We rode it out near Baton Rouge on the west side, and kept saying if it's this bad here we can't imagine what's going on east of here. But, the coast is coming back little by little.

[camomule]

Definitely very well done. As a Mississippi native myself, I appreciate you devoting this documentary to the people there. As you said, New Orleans got all the attention, but this part of Mississippi was truly devestated. Excellent, I say again and thank you!

[vanveenmatt]

VERY well done documentary on Hurricane Katrina. Good job guys!

[smpetty]

That was an amazing documentary! I'm also a documentary filmmaker and love the realism and care that was evident throughout. I was shooting a behind-the-scenes documentary of a film (Still Green) being shot in Naples, FL when Katrina came by. Luckily, it didn't shut us down...but obviously created a lot of damage elsewhere. I am now editing this documentary and wish I had the footage within this film. Great work!!!

[PelicanGuy]

I went to the coast in January. Some spots there are still untouched to this day.

[flwrgrl41]

You are right! There are areas down here that are still so tore up, it looked like it did after Katrina. :(

[destinjedi]

actually, it's starting to go back to normal, slowly, but surely. especially d'iberville.

[lozzi8]

Cheers for this.

[gailgrammaw]

Thanks for getting the word out about Ms. coast. Didn't make as much airtime as Nawlins, even though damage was so much worse. Excellent job on this film.

[coltrain210]

Your work will be greatly appreciated by many. Thank You

[fuzzy346]

the best video of all time, katrina was amazing and devistating,never forget katrina

[FireLineUP]

Good Job Guys, one of the best....wait, Finest videos of dancing with Katrina.I remember having met Chief Garcia while we were in Convoy route to points west with a Alabama Search and Rescue Team and various AL Fire Dept's. I'm a tough guy but I try to forget alot of what I saw.The misery still haunts me as a rescuer to this day.I need to visit this area soon to see how everyone/thing is.

[caliguy42782]

Mark, you should get an award for this. Very good, no, EXCELLENT quality.  A+++++ from me.

[mcf2001mytube]

From Brasil: Congratulations, Great Job Guys

[xquizet]

hey guys.. i live in ocean springs ms. (st andrews golf course area.. south of 90 about 3 minutes from the beach... we got 4 feet of water in our house... great informational video.... we werent here so we were lucky... i hope we never have a storm like this again.....

[DrugsAgainstWar]

Great Job Guys :)

[legalprotection1]

Excellent footage to let people know how bad things really are. I would like to hear from locals of the area to see what is still needed.  Not all of us have forgotten just not informed. My company donated an ambulance.

[patjessr]

hi guys this video is amazing i really liked all three of the videos i was in gulfport 4 days after the hurricane and stood in front of what used to be first baptist of gulfport its just amazing what these storms can do and with people like you to show people and the organizations that im involed it its amazing what people will do for other people in soo much need awesome work guys

[southernfratdude]

this is so good guys! god it brings back memories still!!! we aren't finished here...we need any help still on the coast....people are still in

katrina cottages!

I lived in Chalmette and always went to Waveland & Bay St. Louis on weekends. I miss the people there and hope the loss of lives wasnt like St.Bernard Parish. We had only 6 homes that were livable out of sixty four thousand. I one day will return and visit but due to Katrina now live in Camden Arkansas. Thanks for sharing this, we miss yall" civello"s

I work the entire coast of MS and in New Orleans. The damage is on two totally different scales. Waveland / Bay St Louis will never be the same. God Bless everyone on the coast.

Thank you for sharing about Waveland and Gulfport. It was terrible what happened to New Orleans but I felt that you guys were forgotten. A group from my church went down to Gulfport to help with relief and they came back completely changed and with stories that will stay with them forever. The pictures were sobering. God Bless You. Your Canadian neighbours have not forgotten!!

Good reporting!!

Awesome. Just a great coverage from start to finish of just how the stages of the hurricanes landfall. Thank you for posting this great three video documentary. I'm currently studying in college in a Meteorology major, and my goal in the end is to do exactly what you're doing. I want to chase and document hurricanes and their destruction in order to learn more about them. Thanks again for the awesome video!

I lost my business that sat right on hwy 90 in Biloxi - it faced the gulf of mexico. We went to the site just after the storm to take pictures of what my salon looked like and there was nothing there.

Your presentation told it like it was - you should be awarded for your efforts. It was a terrible time for everyone. Something that I hope we nver have to see again. Thank You! - Stephen Craig, Owner,

Stephen Craig Salon.

I actually went to Waveland in July of 06, and even a year later it looks about like that. It was horrible down there.

An excellent presentation. I was in New Orleans last weekend, and I was amazed at how bad conditions still are outside of the downtown core. 530 days after Katrina, I saw entire neighborhoods in St. Bernard Parish that are still condemned, homelessness, and many other problems. I made a short video of what I saw, and I hope others like us will keep covering the rebuilding, since the mainstream media isn't.

It's about Mississippi!
