Waveland, Mississippi before Katrina

Visited 2 weeks ago. Much progress has been made. Still much work to do. Great vid. Reminds me of a better day in Mississippi.

i got teary eyed

I spent my childhood every summer there. I had family there. We wood stay for two weeks every summer. My family lived north of the tracks. I remember they would tell stories about Camiele. My great-great uncle made it out alive and so did his daughters. His sister would not survive from injuries. Only one house in the family still stands today. The same one that survived Camiel.I wish more people would realize not just Orleans was flooded, but Mississippi coast is no more.

:(...

yes, 603 turns into Nicholson after it crosses hwy. 90.

aw thank you
i needed this too:]
i cant believe
wedneday is going to be TWO YEARS!
thanks i miss waveland and the whole gulf coast

Once I realized where I was, South on 603, passing Sav_A-Center, I started to cry. I had forgotten. Turing East on 90, then changing to South on Washington to the gulf, turn Right onto Beach Blvd., then inside the coffee shop/kayak store...then sit, look out the window and...remember........how it was..... oh God, thank you.

is 603 also called nicholson too?

was in waveland last week to volunteer. stayed at a place on tabor st & would
drive -- cross the rr tracks -- to work on a house just n of beach blvd.

no shops at all on beach yet -- didnt even stop to think there'd been shops along there too

was just there 3 days & never'd even heard of waveland (hancock county) ms before then. beach & gulf were a paradise view, but knowing the monster lurked out there on the water was spooky too

peace.

I love this video but am too choked up right now. thank you. I had become so used to the devastation/destruction that I forgot how wonderful it was, before.
when was this video made?

this is mostly of bay saint louis, next to waveland...i am nearly 2000 miles from my home...bay saint louis is my home...thank you for this it makes me feel good & homesick at the same time....
