😮 Cajun greetings from coastal Mississippi and Twelve Oaks plantation. I survived Camille and Katrina. Next year will be the 20 anniversary of Katrina. Y'all are welcomed.....our beaches are the shining jewel of the South❤😂🎉
I only paid attention to New Orleans I regret not paying attention to what happen to Mississippi and other places affected. What it did to the Bridge is shocking and very sad.
I remember most all of the national news coverage was on the flooding in New Orleans and less about the actual hurricane flattening of Pass Christian, Waveland, Gulfport, Biloxi and most all of the Mississippi beach.
I've lived on the MS Gulf Coast all my life. To see my "home" change this drastically overnight... Not many people realize how much of a mental toll that takes on you.
I definitely understand. I briefly remembered what the Coast looked like before Katrina. I always say I don’t know how they all kept their sanity from this storm. Even worse, they got robbed of National Media coverage thanks to New Orleans. All that city got from Katrina was weaker winds, surge, and failed levees.
@@inarcidyeastrail5728 same here. I remember a lot of people I knew personally who had lived thru Camile and said they were going to ride the storm out because they assumed Camile was worse. Had we not went up north, I have no doubt we wouldnot have made it.
I was living in Ocean Springs, MS about 5 miles from this bridge. I evacuated 3 days before Katrina hit. Could not believe what I saw when I hit the MS state line. Flat. Just flat. Storm surge crossed Interstate 10. I had been through Andrew in 92 and I knew Katrina was going to be worse. Couldn't convince anyone to leave because most of them had been through Camille and weren't scared. A lot of them suffer from PTSD today and never could put their lives back together. Many more ppl died than was reported. I hope they heed the warnings for the next hurricane because as we all know, there will be another one.
@@Baseball4Life- This is no Katrina. Yes it's serious. We're 24' off the ground. It's the others that don't have the means to evacuate that I'm concerned about.
I was in the Bay. I was raised up in the Pass Christian area, but I was in the Bay with some family. A lot of people ended up in the house. Strangers and thier pets. That was in 2005. It's 2022 and still I sob when I watch this.
I have lived here my entire life in ocean springs, biloxi, and diberville I was in 3rd grade when Katrina hit us and i remember everything the smells and the sounds of the wind . I will nevwr forget
This storm was just so devastating when it happened. I bet a lot of people have to wait a long or stilling waiting a long time before seeing their loves one or their old houses and possessions that they lost in the storm in heaven.
They were. The same thing happened to the Lake Pontchartrain Twin Spans and the Escambia Bay Bridge in Pensacola. The storm surges from Katrina and Ivan were so astronomically strong that these bridges had no chance.
Little known fact- these bridges expand and contract in the sunlight every day and if they were highly secured to the pilings it would actually risk cracking the concrete.

It’s kind of a bummer seeing every single video out there about Katrina fail to mention Mississippi.
Hurricane Katrina was Mississippi’s storm and my deepest apologies for them they got robbed of Worldwide media attention!

I was in Biloxi and I still can’t get over this storm. It still haunts me ‘til this day. Just total devastation.

I was 7 and from Biloxi and I still remember the devastation Camille caused and now Katrina as I am 6 miles inland from the beaches and casinos.
To this day, I'm honestly still surprised I lived through this storm.
I WISH A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD BEEN ABLE TO LEAVE BEFORE THIS STORM ERUPTED .

DO NOT EVER DO IT AGAIN! If I have to drive down and take you with me, you won’t ride out a storm like that again!
Wow. I'm always surprised at how many ppl stayed. I hope y'all leave for the next one.
@@LupeCoded Exactly. I just couldn't believe they wouldn't leave.

Glad u made it!
@@Braedenfish Thank you
Please leave please leave now if you're there please listen

Agreed. The real death toll has to be between 5-10k.

Thank you,no one tells of Mississippi
fantastic footage
Its amazing how nature can do this.
It really is. I live on the Mississippi coast. Most of my childhood memories near the beach were washed away.
Memories don't wash away. The physical things do. God bless
I hope you recovered.@@crazydrummer181
Same devastation on 2 Florida barrier Islands, Cedar Keys and Ft Myers Beach.😊
This storm was just so devastating when it happened. I bet a lot of people have to wait a long or stilling waiting a long time before seeing their loves one or their old houses and possessions that they lost in the storm in heaven.
To this day It doesn't seem feasible that Katrina did as much damage as it did
Katrina was very wide and bigger than a 5.
@@joinjen3854katrina wasnt a 5 at landfall
It’s so sad
I know this is a dumbass question but why the hell isn't the deck of the bridge secured to the pilings

Unbelievable damage
WOW 😳😳😳😳
Oh my
A
It looks like you should become better at building bridges.
You’re underestimating the power of a storm surge.
Yep that guy doesn’t understand hurricanes
Think of it as a 30ft stunami.
The hurricane was so strong , it moved tons of barges and MOVED them up to the highway.
