Hurricane Katrina DURING the storm Biloxi, Ms.

I obtained this never before seen exclusive video from a co-worker who told me I could "do whatever I want with it". What many people don't seem to comprehend about Hurricane Katrina is that the NORTHEAST QUADRANT (the strongest part of any hurricane) hit the MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST and not New Orleans. The 35-40 foot Cat. 5 TIDAL SURGE destroyed roughly 90 miles of the Mississippi Gulf Coast line extending a mile or so inland along that 90 miles and even as far as 10 miles inland in Hancock County. It wasn't so much the wind damage as it was that basically a giant Cat. 5 TSUNAMI destroyed the Ms. Gulf Coast.....

...and they are stil complaining in New Orleans. We got the worst part of it. It rages me everytime when I have listened to the news about New Orleans and all of the press they recieved in comparison. It seems as if some in these United States treats Mississippi as the armpit of the nation. Mississippi is or should be the shining example to the world. WE are survivors who stand proud to be Mississippians.

It was really amazing to me how Mississippi bore the brunt of the storm and how this country didn't seem to give a shit. Thus country owes ms. a big fat apology for being so uncaring.

When this happened I Was between The Northwest Quadrant and the Northeast Quadrant But we were'nt at the center of the eye we were likely about 5-10 km from New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina striked us

@CONTACTCARET i agree... i'm here in gulfport..you don't hear about how whole families was found dead and still holding on to each other...they skipped all over us like we didn't exist

I travelled with a group to Biloxi to work on homes and will never forget the enormous amount of devastation all along the coast. I dont' think it's right though, to say the rest of the nation didn't care. When I was there the entire area was peppered with groups like mine pitching it. The volunteer sector did far far more than our Government.

It bothered me too how so much of the news coverage was about New Orleans, when Mississippi was hit so hard. Alabama was too, especially down in Bayou La Batre and along Mobile Bay (I'd say at least a dozen houses in my neighborhood were destroyed). And you never hear about the damage Alabama took.

I took a drive to Pascagoula just a few weeks after katrina, my aunts house was literally gone. I remember seeing picture frames from the house, buried beneath debris from other houses. The trees didn't have leaves anymore, the place looked like a nuclear explosion took place

Do you know if most insurance companies paid for the damage to the homes in this area? I certainly hope so. My heart goes out to you.
