Hurricane Damage
You hear so much about the damage that Katrina did to New Orleans, but you don't hear much about Mississippi. I can tell you that having whole houses blown away is pretty devastating. We were so amazed by what we saw: beachfront property with nothing left but the pillars that Gulf homes are built on. A local told us that some of these were historic homes. So sad.
Those were my exact thoughts when I moved to Biloxi. And when I started reading up on it, the truth is-they were hit much worse-just didn't have the levee's break.
ReplyDeleteThere were several fundraisers to help restore some of the historical houses you mentioned. Seeing homes from the Civil War destroyed broke my heart.
