😮 Cajun greetings from coastal Mississippi and Twelve Oaks plantation. I survived Camille and Katrina. To this day I will never forget sidewalks leading to nowhere
If you go down to the beaches today there are markers on the CTA buildings that show how high the surge got. 25ft is a lot higher than you think. Even as a local I am in awe every time i see them. This storm buried us under the ocean. (Gulfport, MS)
That’s insane! I guess that was why Katrina was so horrific; it was more her Storm Surge versus Wind. I hope you all NEVER see something like that ever again. I love visiting the Coast.
I lived and live in Vancleave. My parents in West Gate in Gautier on Gautier-Vancleave, They took about 2FT of water. Just enough to ruin everything. My parents lived in my double wide for a year after the storm. I fished Sioux Bayou as a kid, this storm put it in the house I grew up in.
We were there a month or two before landfall. The SS Camille and Sharkheads first store were the things I remembered being there. It was still haunting watching the air view of Biloxi post landfall.
My uncle Ronnie owned the ice House/ shrimp dock in pass Christian ms....32 ft of it was gone mile long stretches of hwy 90 we're gone...seen things I never thought I would see at 18 years old but I'm glad I did

Yes it did. I have a picture of the water up to the red-lights at I10 and Hwy 603 Bay St Louis
I love visiting the Mississippi Coast. I am proud of myself spending my money in their economy.
We thank you, it means a lot to get appreciation. This is not the Mississippi of the segregation days.
@@FighterHayabusa-NES Of course not!! Most people are uneducated anyways!!!
We rode this beast out over in Ocean Springs! Event of a lifetime!

Remember seeing Casino's being gone and sand on the roadway months after Katrina drove down for a Funeral of an Uncle in law
I thank you for sharing this I have shared it with others to show what we went through.
That area didn't even have a chance with that tiny little one foot boardwalk for protection.
Tullis manor :(
I know...most if not all of the old beautiful beachfront homes were destroyed :(
I watch FBI Files regarding Biloxi Murders and they show parts of what used to be.
