But who even knew that Katrina hit Mississippi?

I hear ya. If your only news comes from the boob tube, you'd have never known it. My wife's cousin coordinated USCG rescue flight ops after Katrina hit. We knew the score...

We had a lot of USCG and USN resources stage at NAS Pensacola.

Those big amphibioius air cushioned boats are something else!

I didn’t see New Orleans but I did see most of the HWY 90 coastline up to I-10 and what the storm surge did.

Funny thing is that people would say that it looked like a war zone and I’d have to disagree....the coastal areas looked much worse than Baghdad!
