    Bay St. Louis was completely destroyed after Katrina. The day after Katrina, a local bar-owner was selling beer out of a cooler on the beach where his bar used to stand. Someone went to Mayor Eddie Favre to complain. Mayor Favre said, "Well, he's got a liquor license. The Good Life is the first business to reopen in Bay St. Louis after Katrina." The bar was never rebuilt, but God bless Eddie Favre for having a good sense of humor in such trying times. RIP Ernie Beckemeyer (Owner of The Good Life Bay St. Louis).

    Hey, Jeff...damn...it's been awhile! Anyway, great report on this incredible disaster! NOLA was the prime focus of national news, but the real impact of Katrina's devastation was the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and your 2-part report tells the untold story of the Coast's resilience and strength displayed in the post-Katrina years.

      Us that live here have seen this from right after the storm. On the news all focus was on NOLA while the Ms coast was devastated. I lost my home, screwed over by insurance & it took 7 years to get sorted out & house replaced. I think majority of people that lived through it have PTSD.

      @@paulaball8725 The reason why New Orleans was all over the media is because thousands of people was still stranded there and the government was ignoring the problem. I strongly feel for the people that lost there lives in Miss and I 100% know how it feels to loss everything. The thing with Miss and the southern coastline was they went back and rebuilt while bodies were popping up left in right in New Orleans including my cousin’s. In total 1200 people lost there lives in New Orleans alone 700 drowned. Yea Miss suffered too including the lower parishes in Louisiana that got hit first but the main focus was on helping the people in New Orleans that was still stranded five days afterwards. RIP to those who lost there lives in the southern cost lines.

      @@westisbest3362 I am aware of the horrors of NOLA, & lives lost here cant compare with theirs, but let me just say this, it did seem like Ms was rebounding quickly but that's not the whole truth. Most news focused on properties along the beach, properties tied to big money. On the other hand those of us living on fixed incomes struggled, I was in Fema housing for 7 years before finally getting insurance to pay & only got 28k to totally rebuild.

    Worked at Rouses in OS at the time! Still perfectly remember the rush. Boarding up the store windows, water flying off the shelves along with all the other hurricane essentials. Then closing the store, putting plastic over all the registers, and going home. Remember coming back to the store a week later and all the dairy was just rotten since the power was out. Had to throw SO much away, but it paled in comparison to what we all lost.

    Even 15 years later you can still see the scars of those who lost it all and gave up. There is still many empty lots along hwy 90. I still see slabs of concrete that nature has taken over where houses used to be 15 years ago. Some businesses never returned, some people left forever. Katrina was the game changer and the wake up call for all in MS considering we somehow almost always dodge the bullets. Dude i remember the day the power came back on, I was walking around handing out spare food. It had been so long that everyone on my street was somewhat in shock. Some neighbors seemed to be in disbelief and walked outside to confirm what just happened with others.
