I remember Camille like it was yesterday. I remember Katrina like it was five minutes ago!

Bay St. Louis-Waveland-Pass Christian, MS were "ground zero" for both of these historic catastrophic beasts of destruction. As a survivor of both, I know that each day that passes brings us closer to the next monster that roars ashore here.

I have experienced both of these storms up close and personal, but after Katrina, I don't think I'll stay in town for the next big one!

you’re right...Waveland and Pass Christian sure seem to get clobbered when they hit south Mississippi dead on

I was in Camille between Wiggins and the coast if that counts....winds were still in the 150s and twisters everywhere

We visited a doctor friend in Ocean Springs one week before Katrina on our way to Rosemary beach and then watched it unfold from home here in Nashville later.

we then drove through the coast last summer twice on old 90 and good lord....far worse than Camille...it’s 90% gone from Ocean Springs to Waveland and especially from Mississippi City to Waveland...do they still call it that?

we had some old family (Ladners) in Long Beach on Rich avenue...one block inland....all that is now gone....all of it

they survived Camille even though they floated off about 30 yards...the men rode it out...they prayed all nite
