i have lived here in biloxi my whole life and i stayed for katrina because i am in the fire dept. and it was the most horrible thing ever i have never in my life saw wind that fast and rain that hard. i am not trying to sound selfish but it has been proven time and time again that we got way more damage than they did but yet everyone talks about NO don't get me wrong it was plain horrible over there but how come they never talk about MS?

I agree with Dj0287. Mississippi was devesated directly by the Hurricane itself. Cities like Gulf Port and Bay St.Louis (which was wiped off the map) had 20+ foot storm surge with waves on top of that. Not to say New Orleans was not devastated, but it seems to this day the media still focuses on New Orleans being the only area affected by Katrina.

Yes MS got more damage the new orleans but southeast louisiana like around port sulpher got hit the worse because that was the first place the eye when it hit ms it weaken because of passing over plaquemines parish but i agree with you with the New orleans and Mississippi

tell me about it
Scary situation. Fortunately I live in Estonia, but I remember how I was listening BBC World Service(I didn't have internet connection then) for latest updates on Katrina. Troughout their schedule they reminded the main news and they went occasionally live from New Orleans during their newshours.

Yeah New Orleans got a lot of media coverage because its a bigger city at the time 450,000 people than the city I live in..Gulfport in Mississippi 85,000..New Orleans really didn't get to much as far as the hurricane conditions they're disaster was really man made with the levees failing, if you look at some of my videos I posted from our coastline that is damage from the storm surge of the hurricane and the wind damage inland was bad!
