The levee was in New Orleans, over an hour away from us. Our problem was the actual storm and the surge.

“The levee was in New Orleans,”
__________________________________________
Yes, I know Biloxi quite well, all the way back to my very early childhood, when I saw my first slot machine. My father held me so I could drop in a dime and pull the handle. Out came two dimes !! WOW, I thought I was in heaven !
I did, however, shortly learn that what God gives, God can take away :(

My point about New Orleans is that it is not on the coast, but somewhat inland. I believe it was downgraded (cat 3) before it hit New Orleans, and might not have been such a big deal if not for the levee failure.
