Used to live north of Lake Ponchartrain, in Tangipahoa parish. Thank God I left before Katrina. You're right: New Orleans got all the coverage, and y'all got the hurricane. And now all eyes are on Gustav: and all the news coverage is on Louisiana again. So sorry this happened, stay safe, 'hear?

We lost so much in the Ms Gulf Coast. And Louisiana gets all the coverage. They got damage from the levees. We got hit by the hurricane. All this time has passed, and my family and I are still in a fema park. There are days I hate waking up. Very good video, I wish the best for you and your family.

Oh man, I love this so much. Thank you for making this slideshow. Although I was born and raised in Tennessee, I feel like Gulfport is my love.

YOU ARE RIGHT. the eye didn't hit New Orleans, it hit Pass Christian

Yes, But if you look a head far enough.... You would See More Trouble Coming!!! Thats why I moved!

My parents lived in Ocean Springs. They lost everything. The people of MS will never be victims in my mind or heart. They saw what happened, threw up, said prayers, and started over. God bless 'em for pulling up their own bootstraps, not expecting someone to do it for them.

Seawitch, thank you for taking the time to put these videos together. They are excellent...I felt that you guys had been forgotten when most of the TV footage was of New Orleans...I still remember and may we never forget...love, Canada

May 2, 2007..I live in Milwaukee,WI and today is my birthday and I just watched your video on Katrina and I can't imagine what everyone went through. To the people that were directly affected, you people are my heros and may God shine his light upon you all.



Thanks for posting this. I am a police officer from SC, we came down with the Charleston SC police Dept to assist the Gulfport police, stayed at Bayou View Middle School.. The damage I saw was STAGGERING.. Stayed for a few days, we didn't have the resources to stay longer. It was rough, real rough.

georgetime,
Thank you so much for helping us. There has been much improvement since I made this video. There is still so much to be done.
Again, I must thank you. It was police officers and the thousands upon thousands of volunteers who kept our hope up in those dark days.

krista980,
New Orleans gets so much of the media coverage about Hurricane Katrina. People forget that Mississippi took a direct hit from Katrina.
The Mississippi River is about 45 miles from where I live. Perhaps you might enjoy our beautiful beaches.

krista980,
I do not live in New Orleans. I live in Mississippi. This video is a tribute to Mississippians who have been putting their lives back together after Katrina.
